I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time.

I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. – Bill Cosby

There is no formula for success, but there are two formulas for failure: not trying and not persisting.

Não posso oferecer a você uma fórmula infalível para o sucesso, mas posso oferecer uma fórmula para o fracasso:
tentar agradar a todos o tempo todo.

It is a very hard undertaking to seek to please everybody.

Trying to please everyone, in every way, is a race you’ll never win. You can spend all day measuring what people like and don’t like, but don’t let it change who you are. You are unique for a reason. Every single person is not going to vibe with everything, and that's ok.

Trying to please everybody is impossible - if you did that, you'd end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You've just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it.

you can’t please everyone. If you do please everyone, you aren’t making enough progress. Mark was right.

We must give up the idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes.

If you try to please everyone you'll please no one.

To succeed is always to fail-in the sense that the more one succeeds in anything, the greater is the need to go on succeeding. To eat is to survive to be hungry.

I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. – Bill Cosby Success does not mean being liked and accepted by everyone. There are some groups I would not want to be accepted by, out of choice. I would rather be criticised by fools than appreciated by cheats and crooks. I see success as a manifestation of good luck that results from aspiration, inspiration and perspiration — generally in that sequence.
