I just would like to share this story so that people will realize that some mentors would prefer to teach you in a hard way, not because they are bitter or bad... They just simply want you to become the best that you could ever be.
And not everyone who gives you a warm shoulder is your friend... They might burn you in the end.
The Bird and the Shit
Once upon a time, there was a little bird who refused to fly south for the winter. His friends tried to convince him that winter was coming and he should go, but the little bird was adamant. Finally, his friends left on their journey, but the little bird remained behind. Pretty soon the weather turned bitter cold. The little bird began to shiver. After a while, he decided he had made a mistake, so he too headed south. But he was too late and the weather descended upon him. As he flew, ice formed on his wings. He grew more and more weary until finally he fell to earth in a cow pasture, freezing and exhausted. He was convinced he was going to die. As he lay there, freezing to death, a cow came by and put a shit on him. The shit warmed his body and wings. The bird realized he would live. He was so happy, he began to sing. A cat was passing by and heard the singing. The cat dug into the shit, uncovered the bird and promptly ate him.
There are three morals to this story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who gets you out of the shit is your friend.
3. And, if you're happy in your own pile of shit, keep your mouth shut.
