Impressing someone?

The other day, I was reading an inspirational quote (I suppose that's what they call it).

"You don't have to change to impress others; they should be impressed that you don't change to please others."

Yes, true to a big extent. If a person is trying to change to impress someone, the entire effort, as per me, is not worth it. As I've said earlier too, anyone wanting to change, must have a will supporting it. (Not the legal will - DUH! However, yes, an internal will to change)

Maintaining one's individuality is an important trait in a person. However, at times it gets difficult to maintain it in a relationship. I've seen friends whose elders have given unnecessary examples about their lifetime, which may not be valid in today's scenario. How those elders managed their life was their decision. And my friends/acquaintences had to put up with it. And tried to change their lifestyle valid in today's scenario to an old world scenario.

So, are you trying to change something in you to impress someone? If yes, stop and think - will it make you happy? If yes, go ahead & 'impress' that someone. If it won't make you happy, chuck the idea of impressing anyone. Life will be much easier. And much more happier.
