Some people just can’t be satisfied. Period.

In my line of work, I have clients. They and I agree via contracts regarding my services — specific or broad — and I then work for them in their best interests.

Sometimes they’re very specific about what they desire, right down to exact details.

Other times, they’re very open minded investors and I may freely make suggestions.

Most, however, are somewhere in the middle.

Here’s the DM from all this, though:
Even if you’ve got the most open-minded person or most specific, they can be absolutely, unequivocally never happy.

I don’t mean “happy” in the Barney or Blues Clues sense, but rather in the perfectionist sense.

They’re the parents who, when you bring home a C+ berate you.
“Why have you gotten a C? I saw you in your room studying incessantly…you did all your homework. How can you possibly have just a C?”

Then, when you bring home an A the next time, they don’t smile, but instead just say “Not bad. Now do it again. You only had a B+ in Course X, so do better there, as well.”

Avoid keeping “unappeasable” people in your company. Family, obviously, you cannot be rid of…
