One day a tourist comes to the only
hotel in a debt ridden town. Lays a
$100 note on the table & goes to
inspect the rooms.
Hotel owner takes the note &
rushes to pay his debt to the
butcher.
Butcher runs to pay the pig farmer.
Pig farmer runs to pay the feed
supplier.
Supplier runs to pay the prostitute,
who in these hard times gave her
services on credit.
Hooker then runs to pay off her
debt to the hotel owner for the
rooms she rented for her clients.
Hotel owner then lays the $100
note back on the counter.
The tourist comes down, takes his
money & leaves as he did not like
the rooms.
No one earned anything. But the
town is now without debt & looks to
the future with a lot of optimism.
.
.
....And that is how the world is doing
business today.

Interesting story- LIVING WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL
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:
Nobody truly knows which employee actually deserves the merit of success, or who's actually contributing the necessary support to make things happen.
Remember………
LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL!!!!
