得很凄惨。但出人意料的是，一会儿之后这头驴子就安静下来了。农夫好奇地探头往井底一看，出现在眼前的景象令他大吃一惊：当铲进井里的泥土落在驴子的背部时，驴子的反应令人称奇——它将泥土抖落在一旁，然后站到铲进的泥土堆上面！
3.\t就这样，驴子将大家铲倒在它身上的泥土全数抖落在井底，然后再站上去。很快地，这只驴子便得意地上升到井口，然后在众人惊讶的表情中快步地跑开了！就如驴子的情况，在生命的旅程中，有时候我们难免会陷入“枯井”里，会被各式各样的“泥沙”倾倒在我们身上，而想要从这些“枯井”脱困的秘诀就是：将“泥沙”抖落掉，然后站到上面去！事实上，我们在生活中所遭遇的种种困难挫折就是加诸在我们身上的“泥沙”；然而，换个角度看，它们也是一块块的垫脚石，只要我们锲而不舍地将它们抖落掉，然后站上去，那么即使是掉落到最深的井里，我们也能安然地脱困。
4.\t本来看似要活埋驴子的举动，由于驴子处理厄境的态度不同，实际上却帮助了它，这也是改变命运的要素之一。如果我们以肯定、沉着、稳重的态度面对困境，助力往往就潜藏在困境中。
5.\t一切都决定于我们自己，学习放下一切得失，勇往直前，迈向理想。我们应该不断地建立信心、希望和无条件的爱，这些都是帮助我们从生命中的枯井脱困并找到自己的工具。
Work And Pleasure工作与娱乐
1.\tTo be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: “I will take an interest in this or that.” Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual laborers, tired out with a hard week’s sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.
