Paulo CoelhoDon't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.
About This Quote
Someone who is constantly explaining their actions or behavior can be considered as wasting their time. This person has given up on understanding people and instead has decided to only pick up on what they want to hear. People should not be forced to change through explanations, but rather through action. Actions speak louder than words. The best thing that someone can do is ignore the person who constantly needs to explain themselves, rather than constantly listening to them.
