A Father, His Son, and A Donkey
A father and his son once went to the market with a donkey. The father sat on the donkey and the boy walked. Onlookers said, "What a terrible thing, a big strong man sitting on the donkey's back, and the poor boy has to walk."
So the father got off the donkey, and the boy got on. People said, "How terrible, this poor man walking and the boy sitting on the donkey."
So both the father and son got on the donkey's back, but people said, "The poor donkey! Two people sitting on his back--that's terrible."
Then the father and son got off the donkey. People said, "How crazy, the donkey has nothing on his back, and two people are walking."
Sometime later, people at the market were astonished at what they saw as the father and son approached.
What did they see? The father and son were both carrying the donkey!
this story is one of those classic stories. i always like this story because it emphasize how to be firm with your own belief and your own will. two people can say two different things about something, and somehow, they both can be correct at the same time. be confident with the decision you pick, just don't be stupid.
you can’t please everyone. and mostly, ignorance is a bliss
