Danged if you do, and Danged if you don't~

Do what you feel in your heart to be right,  for you will be criticized anyway.  ~ Eleanor Roosevelt


You can't make all of the people happy all of the time, and last night all those people were at my show.  ~ Mitch Hedberg


People love to criticize.  Have you ever noticed that ?  They will find something to say about everything no matter how trivial.  Example....when I worked as a waitress, we had a very picky customer.  She was never happy with her food , no matter what.  She would bring it back to the counter at least once every time with a complaint.  We finally realized all she wanted was the attention, because one night, she brought back her cheeseburger and said it wasn't right, for the cook to fix it.  We gave it to the cook , who took it apart , and put it back together, the EXACT same way, and gave it back to her.  She was happy!  You have to be able to look back on your life and see that you did things because of how you felt in your heart, and not because of someone else's opinion.  Other people are never going to be happy with all of your choices.  It's just not going to happen.  If you get flustered about how people react to your decisions in life, you will have a hard row to hoe.  I guess that is why I never wanted to be in public office.  If you are the president , people are going to be unhappy no matter where you go.  I guess you have to respect a person in that office, because they do have to follow how they feel in their own heart, and then just suck it up, because they know somewhere, someone is going to be critical about what they have chosen to do.  So , next time you have a decision to make, and someone has something to say,  just let it roll right off of you.  You are the one who has to live with the consequences, and at the end you can say,  I followed my heart.
