BEING NICE DOES NOT OFTEN END WELL

Lately I have received alot of requests asking me to organise a hike, or to lead one. Of course I would try my best and always set a date for them. I remember particularly one girl who always says she can only hike on public holiday or sunday. So when I did arrange according to her need and when the day came, she had the most unacceptable excuse.saying she a run on that day or they had a holiday plan on that day. I mean you made the request, didnt you marked your calender?  So now I have to be very careful and would not go all the way just to please some people. If they wants a favour they should meet my schedule and not the other way round.
Of course not all request are unreasonable. For instances I have people asking me to take down some photos which they say did not show their best side. I could not see any flaws on the photos, but since they insisted, I complied. I even had a guy saying the photo showed him with a missing tooth. That's understandable and I removed it without question.
So from these stories you can see, I will do what is necessary if  I request such request. But if I have not been informed and you get upset and put the blame on me, then it is not been fair to me.
Don't you agreed. Sometimes what I deem right might not be to you. So let me know.  Of course I will take some care in order not to embarrasse anyone. I have the best intention in mind whenever I shared something, particulary those that are closed to my hearts and bring special memory to me.
So do let me know so that I can do what is right, I do value your friendship. Please don't cut me off.Thank you guys for the memories and all the best wishes for the coming year.
Lesson learnt: It doesnt pay to be nice. Not everyone appreciate it.
