The Value of Hardwork

The Value of Hardwork

By PatJules | Three is a Crowd! | 1 Apr 2021


My baby liked to mess up with my work as he wanted to watch The Three Little Pigs and I was actually into deep introspection while internalizing the message of the story. It was all about  "hard work" while they were building their houses. Likewise, I remembered also my work experience in the Middle East where "work mode" was just the end goal and nothing else. Working overseas 24/7 and having 5 hours of slept was already a luxury.

On the hind side of the story about the three little pigs who managed to build their houses so they would be safe from the wolf's hungry stomach. But the question was, how "strong the foundation" they built? How ready they could face the storm coming?

Okay let me recap.!

The three little pigs were building their houses. Due to laziness, one of the pigs built his house made of straw. The other one who is somewhat not too lazy built his house made of sticks. These two little pigs were dancing, playing, chilling to their heart's content unmindful with the other pig who built his house made of bricks.  True enough, the two lazy pigs were enjoying and do not care whether the houses they built would surpass through storms. All they did were slacking around and even looking at the other pig who was doing his best to work thus made his house stronger by the use of bricks.

If we would relate the story to how we are living our lives of today, we would prefer to be the two little pigs at times right? We tend to relax to the point of not minding what future might lie ahead of us. All we think about is the moment where we could enjoy to the hilt unmindful of the "storms" that might come in.  So now that we have the pandemic, are we not going to shift our gear?  Would we remain to be relaxed and be more focused on the pandemic or we would find ways on how we could improve ourselves by means of becoming productive every day?

Oh, I am not done with the story actually.

So, the other pig who built his house with bricks didn't have time to take his days off because he knew that "storms" might be coming anytime soon. Like he foresees that there might be no time anymore to play around unless he has to finish building his house with a solid foundation. Surely he had told his two brothers to make just the same in preparation for the "storm!" but Nah, these two lazy pigs were doing karaoke and party instead lmao. Lo and behold, a wolf came, with his hungry tummy, had seen three houses and smelt the pigs. The terror of the pigs who hurriedly went inside their houses. The wolf was kinda, reassuring that he won't hurt them so long as he would let him in, singing at the same time.

"Little pig! Little pig! Let me in!" The pigs got scared, and replied,

"No! No! No! Not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin!"

And the wolf, huff,  puff, and blew the house down.

 

The little pig's house made of stick was blown away and ran to a brother who built his house made of straw. Well, you can guess what happened to the next house as the wolf was thinking he would have two pigs for lunch that day. The two pigs were in so much trepidation that they ran as fast as they can to their brother who built his house made of bricks. The wolf was still confident that he could huff, puff and blew the house made of bricks...

What do you think happened next?

Back when my ex-boyfriend (now my hubby) and I were still dating in Doha, since I don’t know my way to that hotel where we supposed to meet for the first time (actually it was recommended by a friend) so I asked her to accompany me instead. She has been living in the Middle East for two years so she knew her way around the area. True enough, (my hubby) at that time arrived too early and like I mentioned from my previous post, I was not really so into him so I was thinking of matchmaking the two.
