Never Work Hard, Work cleverly...

In today’s corporate world where we have more competition within our colleagues let’s have a look at a story which happened few years back.

There lived a washer man who was bringing up two donkeys. Let us say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.

Donkey-A felt it was very energetic and could do better than the other. It always tried to pull the washer man's attention over it by taking more load and walking fast in front of him.

Innocent Donkey-B was normal, so it used to walk normal, irrespective of the washer man's presence. After a period of time, Washer man started pressurizing Donkey-B to be like A. But Donkey-B was unable to walk fast & got continuous punishment from washer man. It used cry and once personally told to Donkey-A "Dear friend, only we two are here, why should we compete among us... we can carry equal load at normal speed ".

This made Donkey-A all the more energetic and next day it told to washer man that it can carry more load and even it can run fast also. Obviously happier washer man looked at Donkey-B with rage and started kicking it.
Next day with smile, Donkey-A carried more load and started running fast. But it was breathtaking for Donkey-B and it couldn't act that way... But the washer man was frustrated, so he harassed Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell down hopelessly and was killed by the washer man.

Donkey-A considered itself to be supreme and happily started carrying more load with great speed. But now the Load of the Donkey-B was also being carried by Donkey-A, and still it has to run fast. For some period it did, finally due to fatigue it got tired and started feeling the pain. But washer man expected more from Donkey-A.

Donkey-A also tried best, but couldn't cope up with his owners demand. The Washer man got angry with Donkey-A and also started harassing it to take more load.
Donkey-A tried its best... But it couldn't meet the owner's satisfaction.

Finally the day came when due to frustration the washer man killed Donkey-A and went for searching some other Donkeys.

This story doesn't have an end.

Moral of the story in todays Corporate World and social life, "Think all colleagues are same and that everyone are capable doing things in their own way. Always share the Load equally..... Don't ever act smart in front of your Boss and never try for getting over-credit… Don't feel happy when your colleague is under pressure..."

For your Boss; It doesn't matter whether you are A or B, you are always a DONKEY.

Most important, never Work Hard, Work smart...
