The sweet Art

The sweet Art of, Make others understand - (smile)
It is more excellent than making them remember,
for intelligence is much greater than memory Sometimes you should remind other people, and other
times counsel them about the future. Some people
failed to do things that were ripe for doing simply
because it never occurred to them... Let friendly advice
point out the advantages. One of the greatest of gifts is
to size up quickly what matters. When this is lacking, many
successes go undone. Let the person who has light give
it to others, and let those who lack it ask for it the former with prudence,and the latter with discretion,
merely dropping a hint. This delicacy is especially
necessary when the person giving advice has something
at stake. It is best to show good taste and to be more
explicit only when insinuation is not enough A"no"
has already been given, and you can now search skillfully for
a "yes". Most of the time things are not obtained because
they were not attempted.
