"Quand vous essayez de vivre pour plaire à tout le monde, vous finissez par ne plaire à personne, y compris à vous-même"

Simplified Meaning:

Trying to make everyone happy usually means you won't make anyone happy, not even yourself. Imagine you have three friends who all like different movies. One likes action movies, another likes comedies, and the third likes dramas. If you try to pick a movie to make all of them happy, you might end up choosing a boring movie that none of them enjoy. In the end, no one is pleased, and you might feel frustrated too. In life, if you always try to do what others want, you can lose sight of your own needs and desires. For example, if you constantly say yes to your boss, friends, and family, you might get overwhelmed and stressed. It's important to set boundaries and sometimes say no. This way, you can take care of yourself and be happier. By focusing on what truly matters to you, you might even inspire others to do the same.
