“I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody”

Don’t you agree with the above quote?

First of all, I don’t understand why on the earth one has to go on and on pleasing each and everyone they come across, be the family members, relations, friends, superiors, companions and your besties.

The truth is you can’t please even your better half or your children on most occasions.

Is there any need to please anybody?

I know it’s a tough question.

I understand altruism.

But in most situations what do you observe?

I call it people-pleasing.

Here you want to be respected, validated, and even liked though your intentions are otherwise.

Don’t you think it amounts to cheating?

Being nice or being a people-pleaser?

Which is better my friend?

Being nice is OK.

But being a people-pleaser…are you just indulging in favours and becoming selfish.

By being a people-pleaser, is not your health getting affected?

Can you be a people-pleaser to both the warring factions?

What happens if you are a people-pleaser?

“Trying to please everyone is a recipe for stress, misery and frustration.

Be yourself.

It’ll be good to know who’s down with that”
