A blacksmith was working on crafting a long chain. On his anvil, banging with a hammer, he kept making spherical donuts with solid metal and connecting them to each other. Some people passed by and made fun of him, because all he did were these donuts as the chain got bigger and bigger. A few months later, the chain was connected to a large anchor and hauled to a ship. One day the ship had developed some steering problems and faced an oncoming storm. Waves suddenly engulfed the ship and the sailors decided to drop the anchor. That chain which the blacksmith had so patiently crafted was what saved the ship from being swallowed up by the raging sea. Nothing happened to the ship and all the passengers survived, thanks to the strong chain that the blacksmith had made, and which some people had made fun of him. Lesson: never underestimate the small simple things you do in life, in spite of the criticism that annoying and unappreciative people throw at you.
