On Any Given Day "You Can't Make Everyone Happy"




One day, somewhere in China, there was an old man who was travelling with a boy & his donkey . 

While the old man walked, the boy rode on the donkey. As they went along their journey they passed some people who were staring at them and remarked that it was a shame for the poor old man to walk and the boy riding on the donkey.

Both the old man and the boy thought that maybe the critics were right so they decided to change positions.

As they continued with their journey, they passed some people who now remarked, 'What a shame! How can he make that little boy walks'

So, then they decided they'd both walk so people would stop making bad remark! Soon, they passed some more people along the way who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride on. So, they both got on the donkey and continued with their travel. 

As they passed through a village, they came across some people who began to shame them by saying how awful for both of them to put such a heavy load on a poor donkey.

The boy and the old man figured the villagers were probably right, so they finally decided to carry the donkey. 

As they were crossing a bridge, suddenly they both lost their grip on the animal and it fell into the river and drowned.

What's the moral of the story?

If you ever try to please everyone, you might as well...Kiss Your A** Goodbye!
