DON'T LIVE YOUR LIFE PLEASING OTHERS.

You can't please everybody, no matter how hard you try. No tailor is good enough to sew a dress to meet everybody expectations.

Those who try to please everybody end up in misery. Choose rather to be admired and respected for the genuineness of things you stand for and the greatness of things you work for. Be true to your beliefs and convictions and no matter what happens don't compromise it.

If you are living your life on purpose, heading towards the right direction, being satisfied with the results you are getting and what you are becoming, then do not mind who is going in the opposite direction.

There will always be people going in the opposite direction. Some will rather prefer that you abandon your project and follow them. That is suicide.
Never let go your dreams in order to please someone. Don't be caught standing still. It is not easy sometimes standing alone, but if you persevere, you will win. The joy of holding the baby far supersedes the pain of labour.
Believing in your future is what gives you staying power. Pay the price for what you want. I learnt a lesson from Abraham Lincoln.

He said :

I do the best I know how the very best I can, and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, then angels swearing I was right would make no difference.

This is aan living his life on purpose. He was not a men pleased. He was simply engaged in doing what he knows best. In the end, history found a good space for him.

Don't live your life, trying to please others. It can only slow your progress and eventually cancel your destiny.

History has no place for men please, it only recalls the accomplishment of achievers.
