Welcome to Darin Daily On Demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better

every day.

Here's your success mentor, Darin Hardy.

This morning I have a fable to remind you of an important life lesson.

One that we have forgotten in our constantly outraged and increasingly polarized culture

these days, pimped by the financial agenda of our news and social media purveyors.

The donkey said to the tiger, the grass is blue.

The tiger replied, no, the grass is green.

They argued back and forth trying to convince each other.

The discussion got nasty, so the two decided to submit the case to the highest judge in

the land, the king of the jungle, the lion.

As they reached the forest clearing, still arguing, they saw the lion sitting on his throne,

and the donkey began to shout, your highness, is it true that the grass is blue?

The lion replied, is that how you see it?

Yes, it's blue, said the donkey, then it is true for you, said the lion.

The tiger disagrees with me, yelled the donkey, he contradicts me, he annoys me, please

punish him.

The king then declared the tiger will be punished with three days of silence.

The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating, the grass is

blue, the grass is blue.

When the donkey had left, the tiger asked the lion, your majesty, why have you punished

me?
