Different strokes for different folks.

Different people have different needs and wants, and we should be respectful to them.

Example: Because people differ in their tastes and habits, I try to provide different strokes for different folks when I invite my friends to my place.

Phrasal verb: be cut out for

Be cut out for

Be suitable, have the necessary qualities.

She’s not CUT OUT FOR this kind of work.

奥，学习了。看到有人解释“不同的人有不同的画笔”。是不是萝卜白菜各有所爱的意思？

我觉得就是不同的人的手势/姿势（画画的风格，投球的风格，etc）不同。

Stroke 是笔划还是画笔？画笔沿着什么方向画多长叫stroke, 油漆刷子刷的行程也叫stroke

我的意思是笔划的意思
