Donkey

Once, a man and his son were taking a donkey to the market. As they were walking, some people saw them and remarked, "Look at these fools, why don't they ride the donkey?" The man heard this and asked the son to ride the donkey while he walked alongside. An old woman seeing this remarked, "What is the world coming to? Look at that young man riding comfortably while he makes his poor father walk!" So the young man riding down and this time the father rode the donkey. As they went along, a young woman passing by said, "Why both of you get on the animal?" So they listened to her and both rode on the animal. Yet another group who saw them and said, "Oh! What a nothings! How cruel some people can be." By this time, the father and son were getting quite fed up. They decided to dismount and carry the donkey instead so as to stop everyone from talking. This led people to laugh and said. "Look at these human donkeys carrying a donkey."

I think you have read this story before but I would like to share my thoughts from this story. When you try to please everyone, you will end up pleasing no one, and in the end, you will land yourself in trouble. As long as you are not totally wrong, it would be good enough. You may listen for opinions but eventually you have to listen to your heart and make decision that is best for yourself. Nobody knows you better than yourself. Trust your instinct and decide what is best for yourself.

Good Night.
