One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive..
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less

Jokes to brighten up your day!
Boudreaux went into the fish market to apply for a job. The boss
thought to himself - I'm not hiring that lazy Cajun, so he decided to
set a test for Boudreaux hoping he wouldn't be able to answer the
questions and he'd be able to refuse him the job without getting into
an argument.
The first question was, "Without using numbers,
represent the number 9."
Boudreaux says, "Dat's easy" and proceeds to
draw three trees.
The boss says, "What in the world is that?"
Boudreaux says, "Tree 'n tree 'n tree makes nine."
"Fair enough" says the boss. "Second questions,
same rules, but represent 99."
Boudreaux stares into space for a while, then
makes a smudge on each tree.
"Der ya go sir," he says.
The boss scratches his head and asks, "How on earth do you get that
to represent 99?"
Boudreaux answers, "Each tree is dirty now, so
it's dirty tree 'n dirty tree 'n dirty tree - dat 99."
The boss is getting worried he's going to have to
hire Boudreaux so he says, "All right, question number 3. Same rules
again, but this time represent the number 100."
Boudreaux stares into space again, then he
shouts, "I got it!" He makes a little mark at the base of each tree
and says, "Der ya go sir - 100."
The boss looks at Boudreaux's attempt and thinks, "Ha! got him this
time." He then tells Boudreaux, "Go on, Boudreaux, you must be crazy
if you think that represents a 100."
Boudreaux leans forward and points to the little
marks at the tree bases and says, "A little dog comes along and
craps by each tree, so now ya got dirty tree an' a turd, dirty tree an' a
turd, and dirty tree an' a turd, which makes 100. When do I start
my job?"
Panda
A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down, and orders a sandwich.
He eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun, and shoots the waiter dead.
As the panda stands up to go, the manager shouts, "Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn’t pay for your sandwich!"
The panda yells back at the manager, "Hey, man, I’m a PANDA! Look it up!"
The manager opens his dictionary and sees the following definition for panda:
A tree-dwelling marsupial of Asian origin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves.
Liver and Cheese
There were these three guys at a cafe, drinking their coffee - an American guy, an Indian guy, and a Chinese guy.
They see a really attractive waitress and comment on her good looks. Next thing you know they start making bets on who can get her to go out with them first.
The waitress overhears them, and she goes up to them and says, "Hey, I heard you talking about me. Well, I like an intelligent guy, so let’s see who can make the best sentence using the words ’liver’ and ’cheese’."
So the American guy goes, "That’s easy. I love liver and I hate cheese."
The waitress shakes her heard in disgust.
The black guy goes, "Well, I hate liver and I love cheese."
The waitress says, "That is so stupid. That’s essentially the same thing!"
Then the Chinese guy steps up and puts his arm around the waitress’ waist. "Liver alone, cheese mine!"
Air Plane
An airplane takes off from the airport.
The captain is Jewish and the first officer is Chinese.
It’s the first time they’ve flown together and it’s obvious by the silence that they don’t get along.
After thirty minutes, the Jewish Captain speaks, "I don’t like Chinese."
The First Officer replies, " Ooooh, no like Chinese? Why ees that?"
The Captain says, "You bombed Pearl Harbor. That’s why I don’t like Chinese."
The First Officer says, "Noooo, noooo.... Chinese not bomb Pearl Harbah. That Japanese, not Chinese."
And the Captain answers, "Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese... it doesn’t matter, they’re all alike."
Another thirty minutes of silence.
Finally the First Officer says, "No like Jew."
The Captain replies, "Why not? Why don’t you like Jews?"
The First Officer says, "Jews sink Titanic."
The Captain tries to correct him, "No, no. The Jews didn’t sink the Titanic. It was an iceberg."
The First Officer replies," Iceberg, Goldberg, Rosenberg, no mattah. All same."
Baby
A Chinese couple had a new baby.
The nurse brings them over a lovely, healthy, bouncy, black baby boy. "Congratulations," says the nurse to the new parents. "What will you name the baby?"
The puzzled father looks at his new child and says "I think we will name him "Sum Ting Wong."
Toothache
At ten o’clock in the morning, the phone rings in the office of Doctor Floss, the dentist. "Hello!" says Floss.
"Hello!" says Wu, the Chinaman. ’"What time you fixee teeth for me?"
"Two-thirty," replies Floss. "Alright?"
"Yes," says Wu. "Tooth hurtee, alright! But what time you fixee?"
The Tunnel Of Love
One day, an Asian man, an American man, and a French girl were on a train.
Along the ride, there was a short but dark tunnel. When they entered the tunnel, a kissing sound, then a slapping sound was heard. Once outside, everyone could see a large red mark on the American’s face.
The French girl thought, "That American probably tried to kiss me, but accidentally kissed the Asian, and he slapped him."
The American thought, "The Asian tried to kiss the French girl, and she tried to slap him, but accidentally slapped me."
Now, the Asian thought, "That was great! Me kiss pretty French girl, and slap crazy American! Can’t wait for next tunnel!"

Father passing by his teenage daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was neat and tidy. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the pillow. It was addressed "Dad". With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:
Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I m writing you, but I' m leaving home.I had to elope with my new boyfriend Randy because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I ve been finding real passion with Randy and he is so nice to me. I know when you meet him you ll like him too, even with all his piercing, tattoos, and motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the passion Dad, I m pregnant and Randy said that he wants me to have the kid and that we can be very happy together. Even though Randy is much older than me (anyway,42 isn tso old these days is it?), and has no money, really these things shouldn t stand in the way of our relationship, don t you agree? Randy has a great CD collection; he already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. It s true he has other girlfriends as well but I know he ll be faithful to me in his own way. He wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too. Randy taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and he ll be growing it for us and we ll trade it with our friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we ll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Randy can get better; he sure deserves it!! Don t worry Dad, I m 16 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I m sure we ll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.
Your loving daughter
At the bottom of the page were the letters "PTO". Hands still trembling, her father turned the sheet, and read:
PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbour's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk centre drawer. Please sign it and call when it is safe for me to come home. I love you!!!

A story shared by Johnathon Foong
After the retirement of a General Manager, a company was looking to promote one of their employees to fill up the position. The board of directors spent weeks looking through records and potential of the employees, until there were 2 left. These 2 were equally capable in their sales record and potential, and the board of directors decided to test them.
These 2 candidates were given a task "to go to Africa and do a market research on the prospect of selling sports shoes there".
Both candidates flew to Africa and spent 1 month there, living with the people and thinking of ways to sell sports shoes. After they came back, they both reported to the board of directors.
The first candidate said, "Sirs, I am sorry, but there is not way we can sell our sports shoes in Africa. The people there do not wear shoes."
The second candidate said, "Sirs, I am EXCITED! There is a BIG market out there in Africa. Nobody wears shoes, so there's no competition."
Which candidate do you think got promoted?
MORAL OF THE STORY ;
====================
Success and Failure is dependent on how we face problems. If you focus on the problem, you will see failure. If you look at ways around the problem, you will see success.
Life is full of opportunities, but people are too focus on problems and failures to notice them.
"When one door closes, another opens. If you are too focused on the closed door, you will never see the door that is opened for you."
If you find yourself always failing when you use the same method to approach a problem, why don't try a new method to tackle the same problem? Einstein once said, "It is insanity when people do the same things over and over again, but expect different results."
So my dear friends, from today onwards, be more aware of how you are handling your problems. I hope you all will handle it the right way, and get the success you deserve.
If you like this story, please share with your friends. Everybody deserves success for the effort they put in. They just need to put in effort in the right direction.
