This was a story that was sent to me by a professional colleague by email.It happens in today's corporate world. A good story for all of us to follow in our careers and social life.
Once upon a time a Washer man was bringing up two donkeys. Let us say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.
Donkey-A felt it was very energetic and could do better than the other. It always tried to pull the washer man's attraction over it by taking more load and walking fast in front of him.Innocent Donkey-B was normal, so it used to walk normally, irrespective of the washer man's presence. After a period of time, the Washer man started pressurising Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A. But Donkey-B unable to walk fast, got continuous punishment from the washer man. It was crying and told personally Donkey-A " Dear friend, we are the only ones here, why should we compete with each other....we can carry equal loads at normal speed ".That made Donkey-A all the more energetic and next day it told the washer man that it could carry more load and even run faster also.Obviously the happier washer man looked at Donkey-B.., his Blood Pressure was raised and he started kicking Donkey-B.
Next day with a smile, Donkey-A carried more load and started running fast. But it was breathtaking for Donkey-B and it couldn't act that way....But the washer man was frustrated, so he harassed Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell down hopelessly.
Then Donkey-A felt itself as numero uno and happily started carrying more load with greater speed. But now the Load of the Donkey-B was also being carried by Donkey-A., and it ran even faster. For some period it did, finally due to fatigue it got tired and started feeling the pain. But the washer man expected more from Donkey-A. It also tried its best, but couldn't cope up with the owners demand. The Washer man got angry with Donkey-A also and started harassing it to take on more load... Donkey-A was crying for a long time and then tried its best... But it couldn't satisfy the owner. Finally the day came when due to frustration the washer man killed Donkey-A and went searching for a pair of new Donkeys.
It's an endless story....... ...But the moral of the Story in Corporate and social life is......,"Think all colleagues are same and that everyone is capable....Always Share the Load equally..... Don't ever act smart in front of your Boss and never try snatching credit. ..It doesn't matter if you are 'A' or 'B' For the Boss you will always be the DONKEY.
