"La gente nunca se preocupa por cuánto sabes hasta que saben cuánto te importa"
— John C. Maxwell
Simplified Meaning:
You can have a lot of knowledge, but if you don’t show kindness and understanding, people won't listen to you. Think about a teacher who knows a lot about their subject but is strict and unapproachable. Students might not ask questions or pay attention even though the teacher is very smart. Now, imagine another teacher who is kind and supportive. Students feel comfortable asking questions because they know the teacher cares about them and wants to help. In this way, showing that you care about people’s feelings and needs makes them more likely to value what you say. So, in any relationship, whether it's at work, school, or home, showing genuine interest and compassion makes communication more effective and builds stronger connections.
