"私はむしろ人を説得して一緒に行かせる方がいいです 一度説得すれば彼はついてくるからです 怖がらせれば 彼は怖がっている間だけそこにいて その後は去ってしまいます"
— Dwight D. Eisenhower
Simplified Meaning:
When you try to convince someone to do something willingly, they’re more likely to stay committed. If you frighten them into doing it, they'll only stick around as long as they're afraid. Once their fear goes away, they'll leave. Imagine a teacher who wants her students to do well. She could inspire them by showing how exciting and useful the subject is. This way, the students develop a genuine interest and keep working hard. On the other hand, if the teacher only uses threats of bad grades to get them to study, they’ll stop working hard once they aren't scared anymore. In our everyday lives, this means it's better to encourage and explain why something is worth doing. People who understand and believe in the reasons are more loyal and driven, while those who act out of fear will eventually give up. So, always aim to persuade with positive reasons rather than using fear.
