Lailah Gifty AkitaYou can never please people enough. But you can only be yourself.
About This Quote
You can never please people enough. This means that you can’t always do something that will be pleasing to everyone. You can’t always do what is expected of you. This is the same idea in the quote, “Always be yourself, no matter what.” If being yourself means being stubborn or blunt or wild, then be yourself.
Be true to your own nature and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You can therefore never please people enough because it is up to you to decide what kind of person you are going to be. But you can only be yourself.
