To Please

To please everyone is... To climb the highest mountain. Dive to the very bottom of the sea. Hold your breath for twenty minutes. Hug the Great Wall Of China. Live for days without water. Go to Antarctica for a day in shorts and a tank-top. Swim every ocean in two days time. Bungee jumping off Mount McKinley. Run across the U.S. in two days. To please everyone is to please no one.
