We always can hear this" we can't please everybody"

No way. If you go on thinking like this then you will not have convictions of your own. Everybody has their own personal beliefs and I think no one should be obligated to change his just to please others. No one should be afraid to listen to negative comments, no matter how harsh it may sound. Everyone should try to do the best that they can without fear or prejudice and be ready to face the consequenses

We truly can't please everyone because not everyone thinks alike or has the same personality types. I don't see it as not doing the best we can. How I see it is this, if we go around trying to get everyone's approval then we won't be sticking with our own convictions and what is important to us. If we try to please everyone then we get pulled in so many directions that we lose touch with who we really are.

I think we have to do what is right for us. What makes keeps our vibration inline. I like the first comment from Tibzay (?). We attract into our lives through our thoughts and feelings, we need to stay true to that. If someone doesn't agree with it, that's there issue not ours. I have people agree to disagree with me all the time, that doesn't mean we can't still be friends or that I don't value their opinion. It just means I won't always listen to it.

Not really those reasons you have given. We try our best to please everybody, but we also see what effects would it have to us and our dear ones. By the meaning "we can't please everybody" it does not mean, we should not. It means it is impossible to, even if you try your best. It takes all sorts to make this world and if something pleases someone, it puts off some other. And if we go out of our way to please everyone, then it is not good, for we must please ourselves before trying to please someone else.

If you go for success just because you want to please or impress, what are you doing with your life? Your just making yourself susceptible to frustration and depression when the universe fails to conspire with your plans. Worst, you'll get bombarded with negative comments about what you just did. You and I must go for success just for the heck of it. Read Soren Kierkegard and you'll see why.

Well, to start with, the phrase itself is true. You will never be able to please everyone with any decision you make. But when I hear it, it's mostly being used as an excuse for something. It's used as an excuse when I hear about certain groups being discriminated against quite often. But should we live our lives according to what others are going to think of us? Of course not. But at the same time, we shouldn't blantantly ignore the feelings of others. We should do what makes us happy, and what we what to do, but we must also be aware of those around us. Will our decisions affect others? And if so, in what way? Those are questions we should be asking ourselves.
