We always think that we will try our best to make everyone happy! Whether they are our parents, our loved ones or our friends. यह बातें सुनने में अच्छी लगती है लेकिन यह प्रैक्टिकली पॉसिबल नहीं होता। 😂 (Translation: These things seem good to hear but it is not practically possible.)
Let me narrate you a small story: A small child was crying near the sea shore. On asking he told that, this sea is a thief. He has taken my favorite shoes with him. And then he wrote on shore- समुद्र चोर है! (The sea is theif) A few steps ahead one fisherman was crying because his boat along with his fishes sank in the sea. When moving ahead again a few steps, a mother was crying because his son was swallowed by the sea. He was playing with his friends and suddenly he got drowned in the sea.
Cloud, who was the best friend of the sea, was listening to all this. He told the sea why you bring waves on the shore frequently? Don't you feel depressed after hearing all these negatives about yourself. Sea being calm told him that we will talk about this on the next day.
On the next day when the cloud reached, he saw that a small boy was very happy. The child told his mother that today he received a ball which came along with the waves. He was thanking समुद्र चाचा (Uncle sea!) for this beautiful gift. At some distance a fisherman was thanking the sea for nurturing his family by providing ample fishes from his treasure. Again at a few distances a peanut seller was dancing in joy. He just got a box from the waves which carries the precious pearl inside.
On seeing two different aspects, cloud was in dilemma what to say to sea. But sea with a smile on his face said that his daily work is to come on the shore. One who gets favored by me is happy and one who does not is sad. But by listening to them , should I leave my daily work?
Our lives are also very much similar to this. We all want to chase our dreams. In this process some will appreciate us while some criticize us. Whenever we will try to achieve our big dreams, there will be someone who will always put a question mark on our abilities. It's human psychology that some will make fun of yours, some will make you remind about your last failures while some will really help you out. The funniest thing is that the one who doesn't know about your capabilities will also give you their suggestions. You can really relate to which segment of society I am speaking.
As Kishore Da said- "कुछ तो लोग कहेंगे, लोगों का काम है कहना " in one of his famous song from Amar Prem. But you know you have one power. You cannot stop all the people from gossiping about yourself. But whom will you listen to, should be decided by you only. We cannot make everyone feel happy. If we try also then it will end up feeling sad and lonely from inside. Sometimes you have to steadily say big "NO" to the people.
So viewers, by just saying NO at required places you can sometimes avoid unnecessary troubles and problems. And many of you can relate to it as well. Many times we say to ourselves that if I said, No at that time only, this wouldn't have happened. After getting so many unavoidable and unnecessary problems, I realized that it is very keen to say No at proper places; which is also the main message conveyed through this article.
So lastly don't waste your time in making everyone happy. All you can do is to make yourself happy and that's the most important thing in life!!
Just remember you can't make everyone happy! You are not alcohol, coffee, tea or nutella (take example of whatever you like 😂)
