"Une des choses que j'ai apprises en négociant était que jusqu'à ce que je me change moi-même, je ne pouvais pas changer les autres."
— Nelson Mandela

Simplified Meaning:
To get others to change, you need to change yourself first. Imagine trying to teach someone to be more patient while you are always in a hurry and getting angry. They won't listen to you because they see that you are not practicing patience yourself. It's like being a role model. People are more likely to follow your lead if they see you acting the way you want them to. So, if you want others to listen, be respectful, or be more kind, start by being those things yourself. When they see that change in you, they will be more open to changing themselves.
