The Goat And The Horse
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 Goat listened closely to their conversation.The next day,
they gave the horse the medicine and left. The Goat 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 Goat 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 Goat 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 Goat!
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 !!!
And when it’s our turn, remember to speak up for the Goat...!!!!!!!
