“Forcefulness is not love. Forget trying to force people into submission and instead try informing and educating as a means of gaining voluntary compliance. Never deny individual agency; it only creates resentment, defensiveness, and resistance. Education, on the other hand, creates wisdom that opens ears and hearts and minds. No one responds as favorably to demands as they do to informed requests.” — Richelle E. Goodrich
