sometime when you're feeling important;
sometime when your ego's in bloom,
sometime when you take for granted,
you're the best qualified in the room.
sometime when you feel that your going;
would leave an unfillable hole;
just follow the simple instruction;
and see how it humbles your soul.
take a bucket and fill it with water;
put your hand in it up to the wrist;
pull it out and the hole remaining;
is a measure of how you'll be missed.
you may splash all you please as you enter;
you can stir up the water galore;
but stop and you'll find in a minute;
that it looks quite the same as before.
the moral in this quait example;
is to do just the best that you can;
be proud of yourself, but remember
there's no indispensable man

Is the person judging you accepting that you are doing the best you can with the available resources, however good or mediocre these resources are?
Is the person judging you taking a step back to analyse the limitations of an individual on what he / she has in control in order to do the best he /she can?
You are right...there are no indispensable men...or women. Even Prophet Muhammad PBUH was taken away by God Almighty when time was up...
Sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down,
Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham (Sometimes Happy…Sometimes Sad…)
That is Life…….that makes it interesting
Yes, nobody is indispensable….I agree with that
However, as a person that is still alive and needed by many…at the very moment …..
We must do the best that we can
