“If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.”

 

– Margaret Thatcher, British stateswoman

That is a no brainer! We must pass along our beliefs to others, but it is important to make friends too!

Here's one of my favorite quotes...from me: 

"I'm not here to be liked, I'm just here because my parents got cozy a long time ago!"

Hello Bogdan,

An Interesting quote from a much debated  political figure .

If one's only objective is to be popular - yes that can make anyone inconsistent and they will never achive their objectives. 

However, it also quite a good excuse/quote  for a politician,  a businessmen, or anyone whose decisions affect other peoples' lives to justify their actions - when they want  to introduce unpopular measures, or act in a way that is against the interests of those people.

this quote is a very debatable "truism"

Not worried about being liked, ha, ha! I just want to know the world is a better place for my being here. By the way I treat others, concern for the environment, animals, and good things I accomplish! If everyone thinks and acts on ONE random act of kindness a day, and a smile when you do it..... hmmmmmm Linda
