Today in this fast-hustling world, we have become more restless towards pain, towards comments and towards our success. Last night my brother got body's pain as he started workout sessions. So he decided to quit those sessions. But then he noticed a wallpaper in our room which had a poster of "No Pain - No gain". So he asked me, `` Why can't we achieve something without pain?"
There were times when our grandparents used to tell us stories. But now that part is missing from our life. Therefore, to fill this void, I would like to share a little story about the same subject that my grandfather used to tell me.
So a man named Pinku Kumar had a donkey named Binod. They both went to another village for some work. In between Pinku Kumar went to his friend Rinku Kumar in order to get some rest. And the donkey Binod was roaming near the farm. Here Pinku came to know about a large pit in that farm. And so he ran fast in order to save his dear Binod.
But like in Bollywood movies, the hero always came to the scene after his heroine and mother got kidnapped, here also the man reached the spot a bit late. The donkey fell into the pit. But when he saw his landlord, he relaxed that his landlord will save him for all the good cause he did for him. But here the Man was thinking something different only.
He thought that the donkey might have broken all his bones and now he has to take care of him if he saved him. Also the donkey has been a bit old, he might not work with that efficiency afterwards. But that animal was very dear to him. So he decided to make his grave at that place only, for all the good memories they share together. So you can see the difference in thoughts in both beings.
He got a shovel and started filling in the pit. The donkey kept up its wailing, but then fell silent. At first, when the donkey realized what was happening, he cried even more pity. But then the wise animal hit on a plan. As each spadeful of dirt hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up to the growing mound of earth. Eventually, the mound grew high enough for him to jump out of the pit.

When life throws challenges at us, we have a choice. We can feel sorry for ourselves and cry and complain, "Why me?" Or we could stop and say to ourselves: "What can I do, given the new circumstances that have arisen?"
So in the same manner, when life throws challenges at us or when we are feeling low in our life, we will receive mud in terms of negativity, comments, ignorance etc. But then we have a choice. It depends on us, how we have to tackle that situation. Will we be allowed to make our grave at that place or will we bounce back??
And mark my words, my friends, if we become capable enoughto take those comments, negativity, ignorance as a staircase forour success, no one I repeat no one can stop us to conquer Mount Everest of our Success. We will be UNSTOPPABLE!!
And if you have reached towards the end of Blog, I am pretty sure you all enjoyed this piece of memo story. And more importantly, it's not about enjoying the story, but getting that piece of Moral inside us.
BOONE LECTURE!
