One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
NOW --------
Enough of that crap . .
The donkey later came back and bit the shit out of the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected, and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.
MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:
When you do something wrong and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.

Time Never Goes Back
Once upon a time, there was a teacher and his student lying down under
a big tree near a big grass area. Then, suddenly, the student asked the
teacher,
Student : Teacher, I'm confused, how can we find our soul-mate? Can you
please help me?
Teacher : (Silent for few second, than he answer) Well, it's a pretty
hard and easy question.
Student : (Thinking hard) Huh???
Teacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of grass there, why don't
you walk there but please never walk backward, just walk straight
ahead. On your way, try to find a beautiful grass and pick it up then
give it to me. But just one.
Student : Well, ok then... wait for me... (walked straight ahead to the
grass field).
A few minutes later...
Student : I'm back.
Teacher : Em, well I don't see any beautiful grass on your hand.
Student : On my journey, I found few beautiful grass, but I thought
that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up. But I didn't
realize that I'm at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked up any.
Cause you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back.
Teacher : That's what happened in real life.
What is the message of this story?
* Grass - is people around you
* Beautiful Grass - is people that attract you
* Grass Field - is time
* In looking for your soul mate, please don't always compare and hope
that there will be a better one. By doing that, you'll waste your
lifetime, cause remember "Time Never Goes Back".
It applies the same in finding your ideal life partner, your suitable
career or businesses, therefore the morale is LOVE & grab hold of the
opportunity that you have now, don't waste time!

Love
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage.
They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the
boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle
open. He was late for the office so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and
keep it in the cupboard.
The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy
playfully went to the medicine bottle and, fascinated with its colour drank
it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small
dosages. When the child showed signs of poisoning the mother took him to
the hospital, where he died.
The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the
distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at
his wife and uttered just four words.
QUESTIONS :
What were the four words ? What is the implication of this story ?
Check with the answers only after you have tried to come up with your own.
Please scroll down ...........
ANSWER :
The husband just said " I love You Darling "
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behaviour. He is
indeed a genius in human relationships. The child is dead. He can never
come back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother.
She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was
consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be
much fewer problems in the world.
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman you must understand her a lot and love her with
all your heart.
"A journey of a thousand miles, begins with but with a single step. Take
off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears AND
you will find things are actually not so difficult as you think."
