Motivation

There was a farmer who collected horses; One day a horse became very ill so he called the veterinarian.

The vet said:

Well, your horse has a virus. We'll give him this medicine for three days. If on the 3rd day and if he's not better, we're going to have to put him down.

Standing nearby, the pig listened closely to their conversation, and approached the Horse and he wanted to motivate the Horse.

The pig said:

- Be strong, my friend. Get up or else they're going to put you to sleep! The Horse heard it, but did not make an attempt.

On the second day, the Vet gave the horse the medicine .

The pig came back to the horse 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..., yet the horse did not move or even try to do so.

On the third day, 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 pig approached the horse and said:

- Listen pal, it's now or never! Get up, come on! Have courage! Come on! Get up! Get up! The Horse slowly responded..

The Pig goaded the Horse and every step the Horse took to get up and every effort it made, the Pig prodded it much more. finally the Horse Stood up and started Trotting. The Pig Goaded it to run, and so did the Horse.

All of a sudden, the owner came back, and saw the horse running in the field and began shouting:

- It's a miracle! My horse is cured.

This deserves a party.

So that night they Killed the Pig and feasted on it, while the Horse was fed the best feed and groomed much more well, he was the Champion who had fought back.

Points for reflection:

This often happens in most of organizations’. Sometimes nobody truly knows who actually deserves the merit of success, or who's actually contributing the necessary support to make things happen.
