Are You Trying To Please Everyone.. Stop.. Bcoz You Can't!!

 

Once an old man and his son were walking with their donkey to the fair to sell it. They passed a group of people on the road. A countryman noticed that the donkey was walking alongside them and laughed, “Why don't you let the donkey carry you? You're silly!"

The man heard what they said, and put his boy on the donkey while he walked. They had not gone far before another group saw them. One of them said, "How can the young man ride the donkey, while the old man walks? That's too much." Hearing this, the old man ordered the boy to get off, and rode the donkey himself. Soon, they heard voices behind them. There were two women. One of them said to the other, "Why is it that only the father gets to ride the donkey? He's torturing the boy." The man didn't know what to do at first. He thought and thought and finally decided to put his son up in front of him on the donkey.
Soon they reached the town. There too the passers-by began to jeer and point at them. The man stopped and asked them what they were ridiculing at. The people said, "How can two heavy people ride on a donkey? Aren't you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor donkey? You're torturing the animal!” The man and the boy got off. They had to think of what to do all over again. At last they had an idea. They took a long pole and tied the donkey's feet to it. Then they raised the pole to their shoulders and carried the donkey upside down. The passersby could not stop laughing at the silly pair. Frustrated, the old man threw the donkey into the river, and walked home empty-handed.
The Bottom Line
You cannot always do what people want you to do. If you try to please everybody, you won’t please anybody as there will always be someone who will not agree with your point. While I say it is difficult to please everyone, at the same time, I also strongly believe that doing your best is a lot easier and the best thing to do instead of trying to play a magician. Alternately, you may not be pleased by someone’s decision or convinced by other person’s perspective, well, the point is you need not agree on everything and it’s important to have your opinion, yet, respect the differences and others’ perspectives.
