    Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh,

    That's Not My Job
    Author: Unknown

    This is a story told about four people named, Somebody, Everybody, Anybody and Nobody. There was one important job to be done.
    Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about it because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it. Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
    It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

    Something to reflect upon?

    Somebody, Everybody, Anybody and Nobody

    Three simple rules in life:

    1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
    2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
    3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place

    theres a good lesson in it, i think. stop reliying on people ot get things going. take matters into your own hands. dosnt mean you can be a control freak though.

    Re: Somebody, Everybody, Anybody and Nobody



    Ermm basically say that there is a classroom of kids, and the teacher comes in and tells them to do something, anybody can do this job, but they all think that somebody else will do it, that way nobody actually does the job, and so everybody is blamed..

    Hope that dosen't complicate things more..

    Pretty beneficial message there

    Somebody, Everybody, Anybody and Nobody


    Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.

    But it said everybody blamed somebody.. That could be understood 1) Every one of them got blamed by someone or 2), the way I thought, everybody blamed one person or a few more (i e there's always someone/some who get all the blame by the majority)... Right?

    I love that story.

    Aleykum selam,

    Haha.. I'm so sorry! I confused myself too.

    You said and I quote "and so everybody is blamed.." but I understood it as following, due to the last line in the story;

    Everybody blamed somebody, the majority blamed somebody... That there is one person who gets the blame by everybody. As it usually becomes in reality, one weak person gets all the blame.

    My thinking is too complicated lol.
