Does everyone like you?

everyone...?! Here is a related question. Have you ever been in a position where you have to make decisions for or on behalf of others? Here is an explanation.

'Leading' is making decisions.
Making decisions is choosing between difference choices.
Choosing is rejecting some choices.
Rejection affect people who stand to gain from those choices.
People who lose by your decision usually don't like you! :-)

In an ideal world where everyone is equally smart and appreciate the rational behind decision making, everyone will like everyone else in spite of any loss to their income, prestige, fame, etc. Our world is far from ideal.

So if you are a leader, not everyone likes you. That is guaranteed.

Very true! Life is all about choices and making these choices are inevitable irrespective of whether you are a leader or a follower or a just another common man. The choices we make not only affect the path we travel but also alter and affect our state of mind which in turn decides happiness or sorrow.
