About this Quote

This quote by Bill Cosby speaks to the concept that it is impossible to please everybody. Attempting to please everyone is a recipe for failure due to the fact that it is impossible to fulfill the expectations of everyone. It is better to focus on what you can do and what you are enthusiastic about, instead of trying to please everybody. This quote likewise speaks to the concept that success is not a one-size-fits-all idea. Everyone has their own definition of success and it is important to concentrate on what you wish to accomplish, rather than trying to please everyone else.
