Motivation

I saw a small video on Motivation this morning..It was s small video but the message was very clear and nice.... It goes over a small story as follows:

There lived a lamb beautifully coated with fur all around its body on a hilly mountain.It used to dance dance and show off and feel extremely happy whenever it used to see its beautiful mirror image in the water. The neighbors living around the small fishes in the pond, snakes around used to enjoy its dance and join the dance. Life was very beautiful.

One day a truck comes to their place. The man out of the truck hauls away the lamb and shaves out all the fur and drops him back bare and naked in its place when all his neighbors start laughing and criticizing him on his new looks.

It starts raining and when the lamb sees its bare image in the rainy water, it gets broken down and stops dancing feels very depressed for having lost its beauty and just slides calmly near a rock. Stops dancing and feels very low.

Then up and around the slope came a Jackal caused a pause and checked out the gloomy lamb and asked . Hey dude! why are yo so sad?

And the lamb replied in a very low voice... Hey I used to be so handsome with my shiny fur around and I used to show them off with my beautiful dance. But one day a man came and dumped me naked like this...and all my friends started started laughing at me and they I look ridiculous funny and pink.....

The Jackal replied...so what if you are pink...you still have a kick...pink or purple does not matter.....Sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down.....When you are down..just look around..you have a body, you have long legs...you have your head in place and your body is complete....

So just tap you leg down and bounce around...bound and rebound up the hill and you can reach the heights and sometimes even reach great heights and near the sky if you give it a try.....

The lamb realizes this..gives this a try, trembles once or twice and then finally just bounds up and up around the hill..all the neighbors join the dance and the lamb is happy again. The days go by ...the man as usual dumps back the lamb naked..but it does not matter..the lamb learns to live with it...bound and rebounds and is stays happy with its friends all around....

That was very touching video.... I felt the same with my case...When I was upset and feeling low like the lamb..my friend crossed me as the jackal..and motivated the same way as we saw here.....

Sharing a similar short message here:

"Never worry for the delay in success compared to others because construction of a "Pyramid" takes more time than the ordinary building"

So Never get depressed...there are lot of opportunities around..Just open your eyes..look around..give it a try and you can reach great heights........

That's all for today... I dedicate this to my friend ;-)

Hi Akshata,

That was a really moving story, more so because of your fantastic narration.
Nonetheless, a link to the video would be very much appreciated.
