The question naively assumes that 1 (God), 2 (family), 3 (boss / teacher / co-workers) and 5 (friends) differ from 4, pleasing yourself. By setting the priority, you are, in fact, stating that this set of values and actions pleases yourself. To possibly exaggerate to make a point (and with the probable exception of parents sacrificing for the sake of their children), people do things either to provide for themselves or to protect themselves.
Who, in answering God, would do something that really caused them pain, even though God told them to do it? Like the rich man who was told to go and sell everything he owned and give it to the poor. Would you do it? Would you take a homeless man into your home until he was able to care for himself? Would you welcome a child molester into your church? Don't you think these things would please your God?
Isn't there something your friend or family could ask of you that you would refuse? Would you take in their 5 children until they were finished with college? Would you pull a trigger to kill him/her because he wanted to die?
And I doubt anyone will choose the work related choices. (If work is that important to you, then you are getting the reward you want from it.)
Sacrifice to "please" others simply reflects the values that you hold and follow in order to make sense of your world and your place in it. Consider that your sacrifice has no meaning unless it causes you no end of pain to please the other.

2 - pleasing your family..........2
3 - pleasing your boss/teacher/co-workers........0
4 - pleasing your self..........3
5 - pleasing your friends..........0
I'm my own boss, so that question doesn't really apply to me. Pleasing other people, other than my family, has NEVER been important to me. You either like me the way I am, or you don't.
