The Horse & The Goat


There was a farmer who had a horse and a goat…..One day, 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 goat listened closely to their conversation. The next day, they gave him 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 gave him 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 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 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, this often happens in the workplace & life in general . Nobody truly knows which employee or people actually deserves the merit of success & are in fact contributing towards success , or who’s actually contributing the necessary support to make things happen. Be grateful & remember,learning to live without recognation 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).

#CleanUpCashOut with cashify

Hey guys! I am going to share with you all how I managed to #CleanUpCashOut my old phones. You can do it too! I've found a great and convenient way to sell away old gadgets.  Firstly, I am someone who likes to change my phone to the latest one and be updated with best features and technology and hence I end up buying phone almost every year or so, which obviously means I have a lot of old phones which are in good condition and can obviously fetch a great price. Few of them I had already gifted to my sister, and a friend. It was 2 months ago when my sister's birthday was approaching that I was short of some cash to gift her an Apple phone. I decided to gift and iPhone 7s and since I had already promised her, I didn't want to ruin it for her and miss the joy on her face. Just, when I was thinking how to get the cash and also contemplating of availing for EMI, I got my eyes on these two phones kept in the drawer. Voila, problem solved. Immediately I made uo my mind to s...

Dont be arrogant - Hilarious story!!

 A municipality officer stopped at corps fields in Texas , and talked with an old farmer. He told the farmer, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The farmer said, "Okay , but don't go in that field over there.....", as he pointed out the location. The municipality officer verbally exploded   saying, " Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me !" Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the farmer. "See this badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish. on any land !! No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear......do you understand ?!!" The farmer nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores. A short time later, the old farmer heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the municipality officer running for his life, being chased by the farmer's BIG BULL. With every step the bull was gaining ground on th...
