Stories and philosophies about donkeys

Donkeys Crossing the River is from Aesop's fable.

The donkey trudged forward with several bags of heavy salt, panting with fatigue.

Suddenly a small river appeared in front of my eyes. The donkey went to the river and washed his face. He took two sips of water before he felt strong.

When he was about to cross the river, he saw that the river was crystal clear, and pebbles of different shapes on the riverbed were exposed and clearly visible. The donkey was only interested in enjoying the beautiful scenery, but accidentally slipped and plopped into the river.

Fortunately, the river was not deep, so the donkey quickly stood up. At this time, it feels that the weight on its back is much lighter and it is no longer difficult to walk.

The donkey thought happily, "It seems that this river is a magical water. I want to remember that if I fall into the river, the things on my back will be much lighter! " "

Soon, the donkey can carry things again. This time the donkey is carrying cotton. The cotton bag looks big, but it's not heavy. The donkey is carrying several big bags of cotton, so it is convenient to walk.

Walking, the river appeared in front of him again. The donkey remembered the last happy thing and was really happy: "Although the bag on his back is not heavy, wouldn't it be better if it were lighter?"

So he took a few sips of water and walked to the river. In the middle of the river, it slipped on purpose, plopped and fell into the river again. This time, the donkey was in no hurry. He stood up slowly on purpose.

At this time, it was surprised to find that the cotton on its back became very heavy, which was several times heavier than the previous salt bag. The donkey finally stepped onto the shore, but he didn't understand why the river could make the heavy lighter and the light heavier.

The moral of the donkey crossing the river is that many people have accumulated rich "experience" in their long-term work, which is undoubtedly a valuable asset. However, we must understand that "experience" is like a double-edged sword, which can make us more convenient to succeed, but it can also make us stand still and lack innovation.
