PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY





Have you ever wondered how and why people who know nothing about you, are the ones who always have something to say about everything?

well sit down and enjoy this story.

 THE KEY TO FAILURE IS TO TRY TO PLEASE EVERYONE.

        The story is told of a painter who desired to produce one work which would please the entire world. She drew a picture which required her utmost skill and took it to the public market place.

        She posted directions at the bottom of the piece for people to mark each portion of the picture that didn't meet their approval. The spectators came and, in general applauded the work. But each, eager to make a personal critique, marked a small portion of the picture. By evening, the painter was mortified to find the entire picture had become a blot.

       The next day the painter returned  with the copy of the original picture. This time she asked the spectators to mark portions of the work they admired. The spectators again complied. When the artist returned several hours later, she found every stroke that had been panned the day before she had received praise by this day's critics.

       The artist concluded, "I now believe the best way to please one-half of the world is not to mind what the other says."

      People will always have an opinion about us. That is why we must live our lives to please God. Then we will not fret over the opinion of others.
                               Matthew 6;24
no one can serve two masters; for he either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other.

The ambiance was so soft one could almost hear them talking.                                               The first candle said; i am PEACE but the world is full of anger and fighting, and nobody wants to keep me lit, and slowly it cried and went off.                                                             ...
