The title of this article is “The Farmer’s Donkey.” It is about a donkey that fell into an empty well. When the farmer heard the donkey crying for help he had to decide what to do. The farmer and his friends decided to bury the donkey and fill in the well. The donkey decided that every time the farmer and his friends tossed dirt into the well the donkey shook the dirt off and stepped up on to it. As the pile of dirt built up the donkey took many more steps up and eventually got up out of the well.
The article “The Farmer’s Donkey” relates to me because when I have a problem I work through it. When I have a very difficult time working through it I ask for or find help so that I can face my problem and conquer it just like the donkey in “The Farmer’s Donkey.” I completely agree with this article because “When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade” you do not just sit there and suffer. The donkey did not just sit there and suffer. He shook off the dirt that people tossed his way and overcame his problem. When you are tossed a problem go in to with a positive attitude and come out with a smile on your face because you have just grown a little bit stronger.
My plan of action is to take my own words of advice and not get stressed out when a problem is tossed my way. Instead I will go into the dirt with a positive attitude and come out of the problem with a smile on my face. I have just grown a little bit stronger. I will also encourage others to just remember to stay positive. Every bit of dirt that gets tossed your way gets put there because you can accomplish.
Attempt: make an effort to achieve or complete (something, typically a difficult task or action).
Determines: cause (something) to occur in a particular way; be the decisive factor in.
Example: "it will be her mental attitude that determines her future"
