Summary

This quote implies that although we might offer advice and guidance to others, ultimately it is up to them to use their own judgement and wisdom to benefit from it. We can provide knowledge and suggestions, but we cannot force someone to see the value in our advice or understand how to apply it effectively in their lives. Ultimately, the responsibility to make wise decisions and take action rests with the individual receiving the advice.
