The Donkey Story

Last time it was monkeys, this time it’s a donkey (pronounced DUN-key if you’re Tony Kornheiser).

As someone who has seen his share of challenges over the past couple of years, I really appreciated the moral of this story of a donkey who fell down an open well. If you’re a believer in the power of persistence, you’ll love The Donkey Story.

We all encounter difficulties of one kind or another. But what really matters is not what happens to you, it’s how you respond.

In this story the donkey finds himself in a spot none of us would wish on our worst enemy - and then learns that the people he’s depending on to rescue him have decided to not only turn their backs, but actively make his situation much worse. His patient, creative and unexpected response is one for the ages.

The narrator is Alex Mandossian, an Internet Marketing guru whom I have followed for many years.

Give it a listen.
