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 and are in fact contributing towards success, or who’s
actually contributing the necessary support to make things happen. Be grateful.
