Life is tough, and people get hurt very badly. So if you want to win, you have to be tough as flint and be willing to work with your elbows and fists.

He slid, he climbed, he fell, he rose, he found his way and persevered - that's all. That is the secret of all victory.

Never give up!

One day a farmer's donkey fell down a well. He screamed in fear, calling for help. The farmer came running in and spluttered, "How do you get him out?"

Then the donkey's owner reasoned, "My donkey is old. He ain't got long to go. I was going to get a new young donkey anyway. And the well is almost dry anyway. I've been meaning to bury it and dig a new well somewhere else for a long time. So why not do it now? I'll bury the donkey, too, so you can't smell the decay.

He invited all his neighbors to help him bury the well. Everyone grabbed a shovel and started to throw earth into the well. The donkey immediately understood what was going on and started making a screeching noise. And suddenly, to everyone's surprise, he fell silent. After a few tosses of the earth, the farmer decided to see what was down there.

He was amazed at what he saw there. Every piece of earth that fell on his back, the donkey shook it off and kicked it. Very soon, to everyone's amazement, the donkey appeared at the top - and jumped out of the well!
..You will encounter a lot of dirt in life, and every time life will send you more and more of it. Whenever a lump of dirt falls, shake it off and climb up and that is the only way you can get out of the well.

Each problem that arises is like a rock to cross on a creek. If you don't stop and give up, you can get out of any deepest well.
