[Paddlewise] How and when to speak up

"My luck at getting through to people using any technique at all has
been remarkably poor, over a long lifetime of trying to get people to stop
smoking, reduce alcohol intake, lose weight, exercise - even when they were
actually suffering in terms of *pain* etc because they needed to make those
lifestyle changes. Seems about half of them resented me, the other half
patronized me, and pretty much everybody ignored me.

Not a good record at all. So what do I know? - Bill"

Hmm, Bill, based on the information above, I'd say you know EVERYTHING!

(Running away now, to avoid the well-deserved kick. And note that I am also occasionally found
telling people what's good for them.)
