I can't please everyone!

Sometimes i feel that the only attempt to please anyone is an act as foolish as it can be. For how long and to what extent can we fore go our happiness for pleasing others? I don't say that one should become selfish but always listening to what others feel and think is right for you , is a sure shot formula for failure.
I am really not bothered if any reader doesn't agree with me. of course most people feel that one should listen and pay heed to what others have to say coz after all we live in a society where its very important to follow the rule of coexistence. Alright then good for you. Keep listening to the world and the world will put all hands together to ruin you and shatter your very existence. Listen to others but follow your mind and heart. Its always so very important to not to let go of your individuality. It is so very essential to be happy and take responsibility for ones actions and decisions and even of ones own failures. You may end up being wrong once but believe me we all learn from our errors and its certain that sooner or later we will get what we want, hope for or desire to get. Others have no idea what goes inside us. No one can know, no matter how much one claims to know coz its something even we need time to figure out. In our attempt to please the world we are just neglecting our own selves .even if it brings us happiness for a while we will land up becoming the dupe of every nonentity in our lives. if u still disagree then just ponder over every action u did in an attempt to please anyone. Cmon do it just now and u will find the answer.
