The Pig And The Horse

The Pig And The Horse






There was a farmer who collected horses; he only needed one more

breed to complete his collection. One day, he found out that his

neighbor had the particular horse breed he needed. So, he constantly

bothered his neighbor until he sold it to him. A month later, the

horse became ill and 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 pig listened closely to their conversation.

The next day, they gave him the medicine and left. The pig 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 gave him the medicine and left. The pig 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 him 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 pig 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. This deserves a party. Let's kill the pig!







Points for reflection: this often happens in the workplace. Nobody

truly knows which employee actually deserves the merit of success, or

who's actually contributing the necessary support to make things

happen.





LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL!



If anyone ever tellsy ou that your work is unprofessional, remember: amateurs built the Ark and professionals built the Titanic.
