About this Quote

This quote by Antonio Porchia speaks to the concept that it is difficult to please everyone. If you are good to a single person, they might believe highly of you, however if you are great to everybody, nobody will think you are unique. This is due to the fact that when everyone is treated the same, nobody sticks out. It is just when somebody is dealt with in a different way that they feel special. This quote is a tip that it is difficult to make everybody pleased, and that it is better to focus on making a couple of individuals delighted than attempting to please everyone. It is likewise a pointer that it is necessary to be kind to everybody, even if it doesn't constantly result in recognition.
