"لا تضيّع وقتك في الشرح: الناس يسمعون فقط"
— Haruki Murakami
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, trying to explain yourself to others is not worth the effort. Often, people already have their own opinions and won't really listen to what you're saying. Imagine you made a mistake at work, and even though you have a good reason for it, your boss has already decided that you were careless. No matter how much you try to explain, your boss might not change their mind. Instead of spending all your energy on convincing them, focus on improving your work and showing your skills. Actions speak louder than words, and proving yourself through what you do can sometimes be more effective than explaining. This way, you can use your time and effort more productively.
