Look with your own eyes

Once live an old man who had difficulty with his vision. He visited a doctor who told him that his eyes need replacement.

The old man refused and replied, "Doctor, i have a wife, 4 sons and 4 daughters-in-law. So this put together 9 pairs of eyes. When i have 9 such pairs why should i replace my eyes?"

The doctor obliged.

This went on well till one day suddenly their house caught fire. All those with eyes who could see the fire escaped. As per the nature of law, they tried to protect themselves first. However, by the time the old man realized that his house is under fire, the fire has spread all over.

All those who came out now screamed stating that their beloved old man is still inside and some one has to help him out. But none had the guts to enter the house with fire and save him.

The old man in search of a door, ran from one place to another but got hit against the walls. Alas! he died.

This shows that only eyes of your own will come to your rescue whenever there is an emergency.

Moral: One can listen to n number of suggestions but the decision has to be yours.
