  1. I agree to this logic. I agree because if you live your life doing what everybody else waqnts you to do, you wont enjoy it and will fail. You should live life trying to please yourself and live up to your own expectations.

  2. I agree with his quote because if you end up trying to please everyone then you will never reach your own goals and expectations. People will always see you as a nice person which is nice but you yourself will never get anything done.
    "If you spend all your life pleasing others you will be remembered as a nice person, but your accomplishments for yourself will not."

    I am currently publishing both my pieces.

  4. I agree because if you try to please everybody, then you wont please yourself, which means you wont be yourself and that wont take you anywhere. "If you dont be yourself, you wont do what you can do and are good at, and you won't be successful."

  6. Bill Cosby is right I totally agree with him. Basicly he is saying you cant worry about pleasing a bunch of people you have to focus on the people who are most important to you like your friends and family.

  8. I do agree with his logic because if you are busy trying to please others you wont be concentrated on sucess for youself. "if you try to please every body you will please nobody," said Mr trainor. i think that is true.

  13. i totally agree because if you want to please every one you may please every one except your self because by doing that you aren't being true to your self therefore hurting your happieness.

  14. I partly agree to his logic because success as a kid or teenager is to please your parents and family, but how could you succeed as an indevidual if your are constantly trying to please others. "There are many ways to achieve happiness,but even more ways make that happiness disapear"

  15. done with one artical starting the beginning of next artical..

  16. I do with his logic, because as we all know; not every is in harmony with everyone else. By trying to please a friend, you dissapiont the enemy of that friend. So, as you can see...you can't always get what you want, which is setting off your goals; so you can please everyone else in the world but you.

    my quote: Can't spend all your time on everyone else; make time for you so you can sucseed as well.

    plan: to concentrate and finish writing it, and then put in pictures and captions.

  17. I do agree with Bill Cosbey because you can never please everybody.Also because if you do try to please everybody you will never succeed because everyone never sees eye to eye."If you want every one to be happy you need to do what you think is right".

  18. i do agree with his logic because most people are not trying to succeed and they dont want to try. they just all want to be failures, but they need to at least try. everybody just thinks that being a failure is funny and cool,but he is right with his logic."dont try and please one because you wont please any".
    i am going to try and finish the rest of my researching and get started on my rough draft.

  22. I think that quote is true because there is a wide range of people in this world and ther is no way on Gods green earth that you can please all of them. And my quote is i dont know anything about the key of success but the key of failure is trying to make everboby happy.

  23. i agree with this logic because if you try to please everyone you WILL end up failing. pleasing everyone will only cause you to lose sight of your goals and what YOU want.

  24. I agree with Bill Cosby because its very hard to please everyone that you can think of and you cant make anyone happy by just pleasing them. Pleasing people is something I think you should not do just to make them and yourself happy. My quote is I have no clue about the key of success but the key of failure is something that can make someone else happy, but not you personally.

  25. i agree with this quote because, if you live your life impressing everyone else. you wont accomplish your future goals and dreams. youre life will actually turn you into a failure.
    "Life isnt always about impressing others, just focus on your dreams and youll go far."
    im half way finished with my two article drafts and ready to finalize them.

  26. yes i aggree with his philosophy because when we just live to please everyone not everyone is going to be happy with wat u have. so when it comes down to this not every one will be happy with wat they see so. If you dont want to be a failure dont spend a ll ur time trying to please everyone because you will be dissappointed with the outcome. =]

  27. He is trying to say that by trying to please everyone else u are just waisting your time. You need to just be yourself. If you are not doing what you like but rather something that someone else wants it is a waist because you most likely you do not enjoy it. So yes i agree with this logic.
    If you spend your life pleasing others it has already gone by.

  28. Yes, I agree with this quote because if you spend all your life trying to please everybody else are you really pleasing your own self ?
    "Don't please anybody except yourself because its more important for you to please yourself then anybody else"

  32. I agree with what bill cosby was saying because it you waste all of your time trying to please everyone then you will do nothing to be successful in pleasing your self and in the end you please nobody.

  33. no i dont because i dont feel like i should please anybody just for there sake.also i dont think kissing but will get you anywhere anyways. my quote would be if they dont want to be pleased then dont please them at all.

  34. I think what Bill Cobsy said has a lot of truth to it. To have success you have to have the dedication and respect yourself enough not worry about everyone else. Yet the tricky part of this is its easy to get caught up with your life and become selfish. where the only thing that matters to you is yourself. To every thing in life there is balance. Not to selfish yet to care for others without letting them takeover your life. Always take a step back and see if your life is order.

  38. Todays writing prompt, i agree to it because if you do something someone elce wants you to do then you wont want to do something you would like to do. In Miss.Aldea's class the movie Gift of Love this girl didnt do what she wanted to do but she did what was expected of herself by everyone elce. She was then told by the person she was going to marry go and be with the person you love. She did what she was told and she became happy. So do things you are told but also do what you would like to do.

    I definitely agree with this statement. After all it is very true. You can't please everybody it's a fact of life. And if you spend all your time trying to defeat what is impossible to defeat then you won't ever move forward in life or get any closer to the goal you were once very focused on. I feel that these words are wise because it helps you realize not to be offended if you can't impress everyone because in all reality nobody can. Someone might admire you for your qualities but because not everyone is interested in the same topics someone else might not and that is ok. You must learn to accept that. "Don't try to grasp at something that isn't there. If you do, you will end up on the ground feeling hopeless and defeated."

    {Right now I am finished with my first article and working on drafting the second as well as trying to complete the extra task I need to earn an A on this project.} :)
