_Being liked by everyone_ is not the point. The point is to be _likeable_, to be a person people wanna be around, to be the guy people wanna work with, a person they can trust, someone that is not a burden for others.

We can't pretend the opinion of others would not affect our lives, most opportunities happen due to networking, which in a sense is knowing talented people you like and they like you too, otherwise you wouldn't connect in the first place.

I couldn't give a damn if people *at large* like me or not, for why should I? I don't know 'em, and often times I won't see them again; I'll add that I'm a misanthrope.

Nonetheless, If you live your life with the pursuit of being liked by everyone, then I'd bet that you'd end up pretty miserable.
