There was a farmer who had a horse and a goat…..
One day, the horse became ill
so 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 again
gave the horse 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
the horse 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.
We must have a grand party.
Let's kill the goat!!!!
The Lesson:
Nobody truly knows which employee
actually deserves the merit of success,
or who's actually contributing
the necessary support
to make things happen.
Remember: LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL !!!
If anyone ever tells you that your work is unprofessional, remember:
Amateurs built the Ark
[which saved all the species]
and
professionals built the Titanic [all died tragically]
