Just wanna share a story that I thought was really interesting.
Long time ago, a farmer's donkey fell into a deep well. The donkey was in pain and cried out to the farmer for help. After considering for a few moments, the farmer decided to gathered all his relatives and put their shovel to work and started filling up the well with soil. Initially, the donkey cried out even louder as he thought the farmer is burrying him alive. He was furious with his master as he had served him well and did not complain even if he was ill treated or was asked to go the extra mile with his master. Then after a few moments, he simply shook the soil off his body and step onto the soil as it began to gather on his feet. Soon, the well is filled up and the donkey was able to be rescued safely.
Well, sometimes in life we might be wondering I've been so good why is there so many problems being thrown at me? Well, Mr donkey understands how you feel. These problems are meant to make you stronger and that we may learn lessons from it and grow from it. So when being confronted with project deadlines, tests to study, never ending of To-Do list on top of the ever pressing need to save the world, all these things will make you stronger. Soon, you'll be transformed into someone that you would never recognise at the start. Well, take for a moment if Mr donkey continued crying and blaming his master and did not shake off the soil and step onto the increasing soil. Wouldn't he be buried in the well? Well, every stumbling block along the way could be stepping stone to success. Just gotta take it in our stride and continue in our stride to success. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes we do not when we give up, how close we are to success. So press on don't give up. 2 more weeks to end of term. Jia you! Success begins in your mind.
Winston Churchill's most famous speech is only 3 words: "Never give up."
