One of the most difficult things to do in life is trying to please people. The economist had already stated and explained that human needs and wants are insatiable. So why then do we go above and beyond to try to please people?

My father has always taught me to never put all my trust in people, and I had always thought he was talking about people who are unrelated to me. There are so many times my mum and I would work tirelessly just to be able to provide for my siblings. I would work and work till I had nothing up my sleeve and pockets empty, but despite all this, the people I am trying to help are not helping themselves.

So I have now decided to roll my sleeves up, fold my arms, and help only those who are willing and ready to work. No food for a lazy man, and every man has an untapped potential that could solve an issue somewhere. Keep on trying until you have nothing up your sleeve, and then you continue trying till you make it.
