There are so many people in our life. Some of them may have different liking and different thinking. You have to play different role as parents, partner, son/daughter, friends etc. Everybody said that it is impossible to please everyone. If you try to do this you ultimately make yourself. What do you think about that? Do you ever try to please ever one around you?

"You can please all of the people some of the time or some of the people all of the time," as they say.
Of course, some people you just can't please at all! I always just try to please the important people and ignore the others.

You point of view is very clear and right also. Just try to please those people who are important to you and rest the all. In my life the most important people are my kids, my hubby and my parents. i try to make them happy.

As you grow older you realize that it is only important to please yourself. Trying to please others is a waste of energy. If you are happy within yourself others will be happy with you.

Hi savypat
It is easy to please yourself because we exactly know what we need. A happy person only keeps others happy.

I will try my best to accomodate every one around me, and i will also want to please everyone especially my friends if that is possible and it is not too difficult for me to do so. Yes, life is not that easy like you want to believe in reality, but i think i can live up to my expectation.

That is why there is a saying "we cannot please everybody"
And it's true,no matter how we tried we can never please everyone.
Not even our family and relatives,we can never please them all.
As long as we never do anything wrong,to displease them then it's fine.
Do not force yourself to please them,just show them good deeds and love,the rest will be added.
have a good day

No, I don't try to please everyone. In fact, I normally don't even try to please anyone. To please everyone is impossible. Moreover, if you live your life trying to please everyone, you will end up either miserable or not truly happy.

Oh, yes indeed I did. THen I learned about boundaries and co dependency and how it hurts people and wastes lives. You can't please everyone! And you shouldn't have to. You need for people to know who you are and what they can expect from you and what they can't. If you say no you mean it and you aren't their crutch.

It is not only difficult to please everyone - it is impossible! I used to be one of those people who always wanted to please everyone, and I would get upset if I was not able to do so. Now I have learnt that it is not possible! You have to learn to please yourself first and foremost, otherwise you will burn yourself out. try your best to be the best person you can be, but you definitely cannot try to please everyone.

Not only difficult, it is totally impossible to please everyone. It is totally impossible to make everyone in our life happy and satisfied with our acts.
So, I think we just have to give our best, do things that our heart say right. And also give a best effort to make most people happy. :)
