Pig and elephant

Pig:  I want to be acceptable by others

Elephant: You got to be kidding

Pig: From now on, I am going to lose weight
Pig: From now on, I am not playing with mud
Pig: From now on, I am going to eat little

(A few days later, pig is crying)

Elephant: My friend, it's ok to be yourself.
          You are created to be you.
          Once you tried to pretend to be acceptable by others,
          you already lose yourself.

He just wants to accept by others.
He also wants to feel good about himself.
He also wants to show that he's capable.

The truth is that he can only be true to himself.
