You can't tell anyone anything that they are not ready to hear.

This affects your ability to influence others and be influenced by others.

The takeaway for you receiving wisdom is to be open to things that you are not yet ready to hear, to remember them and keep them in mind as it may apply to you in the future when you are ready.

If you need to share wisdom, empathise with where the receiver is currently and tell them what they're ready to hear based on where they are today (or will shortly be).

Not only will someone not truly hear what you have to say, they will often become confrontational over it if it is anything of relevence.

Considering this and keeping my mouth shut has saved me many a fruitless argument.
