He invited all his neighbors 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 and was astonished at what he saw. With every 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 neighbors 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 trotted off.
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 stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step upward!
Life gives us vain promises all the time to test our ability , our soberness , our patience and our obedience towards Allah.
ReplyDeleteImagine how a heap of burdens can portray a challenge to improve your manners in life.God creates burdens in order to taste the sense of success later.
Clutch the hope and never surrender if life gives you vain promises , just smile and don't fall a part.
Beautifully said once again!

ReplyDeletemshay - If you criticize men I will be forced to release my own book criticizing women :D
Wooow we have a competition here. we have two creative competitors. Let's see whose writing will be more effective and attractive. The one who criticized men or the one who criticized women:P.
ReplyDeleteBe careful The judge of this competition will be"Miss. Laila".Don't worry her zodiac is libra she will be totally fair. Actually she has to be fair:D:D:D:D
Instead of going head to head against mshay5adwani, we can come together and work as one force sharing our creativity....so what do you say?
ReplyDelete" Instead of going head to head against mshay5adwani, we can come together and work as one force sharing our creativity....so what do you say?"
ReplyDeleteI agree with U wallah.Man is a refuge when woman became mentally and physically exhausted.
I am sure Mr. Farran's book will be more creative mashallah than me. If Lila writes a book she will destroys us mshallah.
Mashaye5 and Mr. Farran the issue of gender existed since our parents Adam and Eve were created.The debates of gender won't finish till the last day of our life:)
ReplyDelete"If Lila writes a book she will destroys us mshallah".
Thanks dear for this worthy encouragement. I have a strongh desire to write my own books and Inshallah I will work on it in future:). I am planning to write and publish my books Inshallah.
You know Mashaye5 and Mr. farran in my first step of writing I am planning to write about two things:
The first thing is a novel which talks about the journey of young lady in different parts of world.She carries out this journey in order to gather a blenty of information about other different people who belong to different communities, cultures, religions, customs, classes, races and genders.She tries to write about their daily lifes, thoughts, beliefs, behaviours...etc.Her main aim of this journey is unifying the whole world through writing a book that introduce the people around the world to each other.It gives the chance to people around the world to know each other regarding their culture, beliefs, customs...etc more and more.Well, I see my self in this young lady. Really guys I have a big passion in knowing people who belong to different social backgrounds. I don't miss the chance to interact and know about other communities.Wherever I go I like to get information as much as I can. It really hurts me when I see someone interacts or judges someone because of his religion, race, gender, class, community..ect ignoring his morals,feelings, personality, dignity and prestige. In my book I want to show that every community, ,culture,race , gender, class,culture..etc have unique and valuable features:)
My second book will be a social book. In this book I want to show how each human plays different roles in his/her life and how she/he can be successful(can't say perfect because no one can be perferct except our Allah) in handling and carrying out these roles.I mean our roles towards our god, ourselves, our parents, our friends, our family, our life partners,our childern, our profession...etc.In our life we play different roles in each role we adopt different personality.It is important to know how to handle each role in a way that satisfy our god, ourselves and people surrounding us.
With the helpe of Allah and the precious blessings of my parents, brothers and family and ofcourse with the best prayers and wishes of every one whom I know Inshallah one day I will achieve what I desire:).
Two very interesting books from a very interesting person. I can't wait :D
ReplyDeleteWork hard, follow your dreams Miss Laila and never give up :)
Thanks for this beautiful encouragement Mr. Farran:). Inshallah I will follow your precious advice.Inshallah you will be one of those who will be invited to attend the promotion of my first and every book:D.Please you have to be there. It is important to me to share my beautiful moments with those who always encourges me:).
ReplyDeleteMr. Farran if you got the chance to write a book, what would you like to write about?.I remember when you told me before that in your childhood you used to write short stories, Now what you like to write about?
I'd like to write a memoir about my life someday. Maybe pass on my experiences to others. Something like that :)
ReplyDeleteWoooow great job Wallah it is a big thing when you write something related to you and your life. It makes you feel that your life was special and it was full of precious and unforgettable incidents.You leave your own imprint through this memoir:).
ReplyDeleteYou know SubhaAllah I had an intention to write such thing y3ni about my life, experiences, incidents that affected my life whether in a positive or negative way, different roles I played in my life....etc. But I postponed it till I become a sweet retired old grandmother.I mean when I feel I lived my life and and it is the time to relax and write about my self:).
Inshallah Mr. Farran when we will become very old we will write our memoirs in the middle of ocean having our meal:D:D:D:D Wallah we will laugh at these days right?
Yes we will all look back at these days and just laugh :D
