Many people lament by saying: “Nobody listens to me; I am repeatedly saying such and such a thing and am tired of it; but it has absolutely no effect.” According to me; the fault lies more with the person who gives instructions than with the one receiving them. The man who gives orders did not have the knowledge about the method of working. Such people should first discover their own faults by introspection. This exercise will reveal their terrible lack of knowledge. When you know how to carry out the work, your instruction will bear the ring of conviction, and hence will bear fruit. You may not speak, or speak a little, but involve yourself in the work. Your work will “speak” and in a few days, people will be attracted towards you without your invitation. Therefore speak less, work more. Because the effect of speech lasts for a second, whereas the influence of your work is everlasting.
