Quote by Plutarch
Nothing is harder to direct than a man in prosperity; nothing more easily managed than one in adversity.
Summary

In these situations, individuals may become more self-assured, independent, or dismissive of others' advice or direction. On the other hand, individuals facing adversity tend to be more receptive to guidance and support, making them easier to lead or manage. It highlights the importance of recognizing the dynamics of different situations and understanding how individuals respond to various circumstances.
