Pleasing People is NOT Service to Others

In the everyday world, we often think that if we do things to make others happy or if we do what others ask of us, we are STO oriented.  It took me a long time to realize that often you serve others better by not giving them what they want.  Like the Rolling Stones said, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes you get what you need."  On a similar note, what may serve you best may not be what you want...

What do you think?
