“You can't force your will on people. If you want them to act differently, you need to inspire them to change themselves.”
— Phil Jackson

Simplified Meaning:
You can't make people do what you want just by telling them to. To really change their behavior, you need to encourage and motivate them. Imagine a teacher who wants her students to study harder. She could yell at them and give them punishments, but that would just make them unhappy and resistant. Instead, if she makes her lessons interesting and shows the students how learning can be fun and useful in life, they might start to want to study more on their own. This idea can be applied in many areas, like at work or in relationships. Rather than trying to control others, finding ways to inspire them to change can lead to more lasting and positive results.
