Always Think Positive

Sometimes we face some difficulties in our life and start to think, "there is no hope for me." But, when one window gets closed, we should try other windows. Obviously there is a solution of each problem. We do make our future by ourselves.

Once a merchant lived in a locality. He often used to go various places with his goods for business. The merchant had no cart. He only had a donkey. It carried all the goods for it's master silently. As time passed, the donkey grew old. It had not much strength left as young age. Yet it worked hard.

One day, the merchant went in a village marketplace to sell his goods. While returning from there at evening, the donkey fell into an abandoned well. The well was stood just beside a narrow lane of that village. Though the well was dry, but it was deep. The merchant asked the villagers for help. They came and tried whole night, but failed. It was impossible to rescue the donkey from there.

In the morning the merchant told them, "Let it go. It is an old donkey. After a few days it will become useless. I was thinking to buy a new donkey instead it. Now let it die there."

The villagers said, "Though it's rude for that poor animal, we have to fill this well. Because it is dangerous for the children of the village too."

Then they started to fill the well with soil.

When the first pile of soil fell on it's back, the poor animal understood what was happening. At first it started crying with fear and shook it's back. The soils went down it's legs and the donkey climbed on that heap. In this way, it used the soil, supplied by the villagers, used to build a solid platform on the ground, layer by layer. The villagers noticed that and they became happy. At last the donkey came out of the well alive.

There are so many deep wells waiting for us beside the way of life. Sometimes we fall there. But positive thought and ability to use the unfavourable conditions as favourable, help us to overcome all the difficulties.

Just think positive. Everything has a solution.
