You won’t achieve a thing

If you want to set somebody on the right path, to teach them and advise them, you first have to humble yourself and speak to them with great love.  They’ll accept your advice because they’ll feel that you’re giving it with love. But if you insist on what you want, come what may, you won’t get anywhere. That’s how to make children rebellious. If a child’s disobedient, the answer isn’t to give them a beating.
