Trying to Please

Amber sends this great quote.

'I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is: Try to please everybody.' Herbert Bayard Swope

This resonates with comments made by an ex employer of mine - Alan Boyd. It was just after an irate customer had called him complaining on something I'd said or done.

More recently I failed in the parking warden department too, no new friends made there either.

How about you? Who didn't you please lately?

And the mob forms!

Seth just brought this to my attention. Rock on Seth!


Anyone recognise the beats? I want some!

Praise



Why is it that most people would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism?
