It's Not Every Time You Know What's Good For You

It is difficult to understand why the community, by and large, complain and balk at the thought that anyone should tell them what is good or what is not good for them. 

We are fortunate to be living in a country where there's freedom to say and do as we please.  BUT, there are times when we need to heed the advice of those who are qualified and know best.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear that ideas and decisions are put forward with a bit of hesitancy on the part of those who are in a position to see the end result, for fear of the backlash they would endure.

Nobody wants to take responsibility for himself/herself, but when something detrimental to their well-being arises, they look to someone else to fix it.

We should stop looking for instant gratification and quick fixes, and ponder awhile about future consequences, for that is what those in authority are thinking.

Understanding The Function Of A Radio DJ

I don't envy a radio DJ's job. It seems simple enough, but it's quite the opposite, if one took the time to think about it.

 I'm just thinking of the many times we've had regular DJs performing at private functions - the most of which guests numbered two hundred - and the flack they endured from guests..."the music sucked", "why couldn't he play the song we requested", "we needed to hear more of...", "too many slow songs", and so on, and so on.

 Now, just imagine being a radio DJ and having to satisy literally thousands of people day after day, night after night! What is the possibility he would be able to satisfy 100% of listeners? Would a DJ - at times with limited resources - be able to please each and every person all the time? Quite impossible!

Please have some consideration and don't take it personally, when a DJ isn't able at times to play a song requested. He doesn't own the resources - he is working with what is available, and what is provided.

 We're not fortunate to see radio DJs at their jobs, as we do for hired DJs. They are required at all times to convey to listeners exuberance and joviality, notwithstanding the criticisms they endure. I now have a brand new respect and appreciation for what you do.

Thank you, Mr Radio DJ!
