About This Quote

When you ask a person to do something that they would not normally do, and then they agree to it, that means that they still have their own personal pride. They don't always follow the rules. When you want someone to do something for you, and they agree to it, they are making a compromise between what is right and what will work out. If they agree to do something for you, they will feel like it is their choice even if you tell them what to do, and will be more willing to work with you in the future.
