There
was a farmer who collected horses; he only needed one more breed to complete
his collection. One day, he found out that his neighbor had the particular
horse breed he needed. So, he constantly bothered his neighbor until he sold it
to him. A month later, the horse became ill and he called the veterinarian, who
said: Well, your horse has a virus. He must take this medicine for three days.
I'll come back on the 3rd day and if he's not better, we're going to have to
put him down.
Nearby, the pig listened closely to their conversation.
The next day, they gave him the medicine and left. The pig approached the horse
and said: Be strong, my friend. Get up or else they're going to put you to
sleep!
On the second day, they gave him the medicine and left. The pig came back and
said: Come on buddy, get up or else you're going to die! Come on, I'll help you
get up. Let's go! One, two, three...
On the third day, they came to give him the medicine and the vet said:
Unfortunately, we're going to have to put him down tomorrow. Otherwise, the
virus might spread and infect the other horses.
After they left, the pig approached the horse and said:- Listen pal, it's now
or never! Get up, come on! Have courage! Come on! Get up! Get up! That's it,
slowly! Great! Come on, one, two, three... Good, good. Now faster, come on....
Fantastic! Run, run more! Yes! Yay! Yes! You did it, you're a champion!!!
All of a sudden, the owner came back, saw the horse running in the field and
began shouting: It's a miracle! My horse is cured. This deserves a party. Let's
kill the pig!
Points for reflection: this often happens in the workplace. Nobody truly knows
which employee actually deserves the merit of success, or who's actually
contributing the necessary support to make things happen.
LEARNING
TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL!!!!
If anyone ever tells you that your work is unprofessional, remember: amateurs
built the Ark and professionals built the Titanic.
DON'T LOOK TO BECOME A PERSON OF SUCCESS, LOOK
INSTEAD TO BECOME A PERSON OF VALUE!
