“It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce.”
— Voltaire
Simplified Meaning:
Winning alone isn't sufficient; you also need to win people over. Think about a job interview. Getting the interview is like conquering a challenge, but that's not all there is to it. During the interview, you need to connect with the interviewer, impress them, and make them believe you are the best choice for the job. This connection and charm are like seduction. Similarly, in relationships, you might initially attract someone’s attention, but to truly build and maintain a strong bond, you need to continually engage and understand the other person, showing that you care. This approach works in many areas of life, whether in business or personal interactions—it's about creating lasting impressions and connections, not just achieving immediate goals.
