Thank before

Hi,

What does this sentence mean?

This suggests that if you try to please everyone, in the end you will not please anyone.

This is the same idea behind this well known expression:

You can't please all the people, all the time.

Hi Fauzibelajar,

to me "please all and you will please none" sounds like an idiomatic saying meaning: in case you try to satisfy everyone you must fail since requirements of single persons can be counter requirements of others or even opposite.

Hope I met your requirements, no matter who´s I crossed :oops:

Regards
Michael
