Setting out to please everyone is a recipe for getting shat upon.
The good Doktor summarizes my adolescence, ITT.
...my WHOLE existence. *now has something to put in the SHAME thread*
So stop.
I have one of those cliche signs by my desk, but it's one I take very seriously.
"I can't please everyone every day. Today isn't your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good, either."
Which, when translated, means:
"I am here to make the plant run safely and smoothly. All other considerations, including your bloated ego, are secondary and will have to wait until I have time to listen to you bloviate to prove how smart you are."
