00:00One day a father and his son bought a donkey. After buying it they had to travel a long distance
00:05to return home. After walking for a while the father said, son climb onto the donkey and ride.
00:10I'll walk. The boy did as his father said and they continued their journey. Soon they passed
00:16a group of people. The people shook their heads and said, what a selfish son. His old father is
00:22struggling to walk while he rides the donkey comfortably. The boy felt ashamed. He immediately
00:27got down and said, father you ride the donkey instead. The father climbed onto the donkey and
00:33they continued their journey. After some time they met another group of people. They looked at the
00:38father and said, what a selfish father. The poor little boy is walking while he sits comfortably
00:43on the donkey. The father felt embarrassed so he got down. Then they decided that both of them would
00:48ride the donkey together. They had not gone very far when another group of people saw them and said,
00:53how cruel. Both the father and the son are riding on the back of that poor innocent donkey.
00:59The father and son didn't know what to do anymore. They wanted to avoid everyone's criticism.
01:04Finally they came up with a strange idea. They tied the donkey's legs to a strong pole and carried it
01:10together on their shoulders. When they reached a bridge, people saw the unusual sight and burst into
01:15laughter. They pointed at them, shouted and mocked them. The loud noise frightened the donkey.
01:20It began to panic and struggle wildly. Suddenly the rope slipped from their hands. The donkey fell off
01:26the bridge into the river below. Unable to escape, the donkey drowned. Many people make the mistake of
01:32living according to other people's opinions instead of following their own goals. The truth is you can
01:37never make everyone happy. It is impossible. If you keep changing your decisions to please others,
01:43you may lose the life you truly want. For example, imagine you want to become a teacher because it is
01:48your dream. One person tells you, don't do it. You're not good enough. Another says, choose a
01:55different career instead. If you keep listening to everyone you may never choose the path you really
01:59wanted. If you try to satisfy everyone you may end up losing everything. Listen to advice, but make your
02:06own wise decisions instead of living by other people's opinions.
