The Wise Old Mule By Kingsmith Akinwale

 THE WISE OLD MULE. 


There was an old mule.


One day accidentally he fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer has evaluated the situation and thought to himself, that neither the well nor the old mule was worth the efforts to save them. 


Thus... 


He decided to haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well. So the farmer called his neighbours and together they started to shovel dirt into the well. 


Like many will, the old mule was terrified and hysterical in the beginning. But soon one hopeful idea came to his mind – every time when a shovel of dirt landed on his back, he would shake it off and step up! 


He repeated these words to himself again and again: "Shake it off and step up“. This way he could struggle the panic and encourage himself. After some time, the mule had stepped over the well‘s wall. Although terribly tired, he was the winner, he saved his own life. He decided to face his adversity positively and not to give up, and thus he won. 


Now, this is the lesson, what seemed to bury the old mule actually saved him, owing to his confidence and restlessness efforts. 


Why this story? 


It's just to remind you that with confidence and relentless effort, you can shake off the shovels of dirt that is landing on your back and step up above the well that you have found yourself.


Be phenomenal. Be great. I believe in the GREATNESS in you.
