It's important to maintain clear personal boundaries — whether at work, at home, or in any other space. Many confrontations and arguments, especially with children or students, can be avoided when elders refrain from imposing their own goals under the pretext of "it's for your good." Respecting individual choices and not intruding into their lives leads to healthier, more harmonious relationships.
We must also learn to untangle complicated situations with fresh thinking, just as the Gordian Knot was resolved with a new approach. And perhaps the most valuable lesson of all: don't fall into the trap of trying to please everyone — because in the end, the only person who ends up unhappy is YOU!!.
