WORK ETHICS

Once upon a time a washerman was bringing up two donkeys. Let us say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.
Donkey-A felt that it was very energetic and could do better than the other. It always tried to pull the washerman's attraction over it by taking more load and walking fast in front of him. Innocent Donkey-B was normal, so it used to walk normally, irrespective of the washerman's presence.
After a period of time, the washerman started pressurising Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A.
But Donkey-B was unable to walk fast and got continuous punishment from the washerman.
One day it was crying and told Donkey-A "Dear friend, only we two are here, why to compete with each other....we can carry equal load at normal speed -".
That made Donkey-A all the more energetic and next day it told the washerman that it could carry more load and even it can run fast also.
Obviously a very happy washerman looked at Donkey-B.., his BP got raised and he started kicking Donkey-B.
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 washerman was frustrated, so he harassed Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell down hopelessly.
Then Donkey-A felt itself as a supremo and happily started carrying more load with great speed. But now the load of the Donkey-B was also to be carried by Donkey-A, and still it had to run fast. For some period it did, finally due to fatigue it got tired and started feeling the pain.
But the washerman expected more from Donkey-A. It also tried its best, but couldn't cope up with his owner's demand. The washerman got angry with Donkey-A also and started harassing it to take more load...Donkey-A cried and tried its best...But it couldn't live up to the owner's satisfaction.
Finally the day came when due to frustration the washerman killed Donkey-A and went searching for some other Donkeys.
Its an endless story..........
But the Moral of the Story in life is......,
Think that all colleagues are same and that everyone is capable....
Always share the load equally....
Don't ever act smart in front of your Boss and never try to get more credit....
Don't feel happy when your colleague is under pressure....
