If everyone has to like you, what kind of person do you have to pretend to be?
If everyone has to care about you, what kind of person do you have to become exhausted? If everyone can understand you, what kind of person do you have to be? If you can accept everyone, what kind of cowardice do you have to show? If you can like everyone, what kind of hypocrisy do you have to display? If you can fulfill everyone, what kind of grievance do you have to endure? If you are doing everything, what kind of boredom do you have to suffer? If you have to do everything, what kind of panic do you have to feel? If you can do everything, what kind of mediocrity do you have to become? Therefore, in life, don't seek perfection; in doing things, don't aim for quantity. When people get one thing right, everything is right; getting one thing right is enough.
