Hello friends, happy weekend to you! I was unable to come online due to the faultiness of my writing Device (phone), sorry for missing your well composed Articles, don't worry i will read them. More so, there isn't electricity at my side since morning, the electricity distribution company haven't been faithful to their commission, so i had to leave home to a place where i could get my Device (phone) charged. As I was charging it, this Topic came to my mind, so, i began to type.

If you go about trying to please everyone, there's going to be endless struggles.

Quote from Sonny Bill Williams.

You cannot please everyone who comes your ways, yes you can't! Some people tried it but what they met at end was Waterloo. They wanted to meet everyone's expectations and demands, forgot that no matter how hard they try, all humans can't be pleased.

No matter the amount of efforts you put, you still can't make everyone pleased. If you try to do that you may end up struggling, and it might even lead to confusion.

There was a song my dad loves playing, it was sang by Ebenezer Obey, a musician in Yoruba land, the western part of my country, the song was in form of story to buttress how you can't please Everybody. It was about a man who wanted to please Everybody he met on his way as he was traveling with his Son via the Donkey they had.

Story of a Man, his Son, and his Donkey.

The Man had a son, and also had a Donkey he had been nurturing since when it was very small. Now the Donkey had grown up very well, the Father and his son wanted to use it for traveling purpose for the first time, they wanted to travel to another village.  Having taken all they needed to take along, they climbed the Donkey and began their journey. As they moved a short distance, somebody came across them, and said:

" Father and son, both of you on one Donkey?!! ahhh!!!! Do you want to kill it?!!!!!" Don't you consider your weight? You're both merciless ooh!!!!! You couldn't even show a single mercy to this Donkey, instead you are both sitting on it. 

Having heard such, the Father remained on the Donkey, and told his Son to come down, his son came down and began to follow him using leg, they've not gone very far, another human being encountered them again, and said to the father:

"Man! How can you be sitting on the Donkey and your child is trekking?!  This is bad!!!! Your son deserves to sit on the Donkey, You need to change now".

The Father obeyed, came down and put his child on the Donkey, now his son was sitting on the Donkey while his father was trekking after him. They haven't moved too far, somebody meet them again, and said to him:

Man you're a fool, you're walking on leg and your child is on the Donkey. Don't you see that is foolishness?! A whole you "father"!!!

The father now said to himself that no matter what it takes him that he would please every human he would meet on this journey".

At this point, both the father and the son came down, and started legging the journey, they were going at the front, the Donkey was following them at the back without carrying anybody. As they moved a short distance again, they were met by another person, and said to them:

" what!!!! Father and son, you are trekking and your Donkey is going after you freely, without you climbing it?! And without carrying anything".

You need get on your Donkey now!

At this point, the father became confused, and didn't know what he would do again, he didn't want to displease any of people he had meet.   But finally came to conclusions and said: No matter what you do, no matter how you try, you can't please every human being. 

Final thought

No matter how you try, some people will still complain. So, don't try to please everyone. Do things that are good to your Life and right before the almighty God .

Thanks for reading. 💖💖
