Beauty See, Beauty Do

"If you want your girlfriend to be fit, don't badger her into the gym or act as her personal trainer. That's pushy. Instead, maintain your commitment to fitness and, if she's interested, say yes when she asks to tag along." - Anonymous

Sounds like this guy's read some Ben Franklin. What we do can be more effective then what we say (that is, if what we're saying is for good). No one likes to be "should" on. Ghandi said "Be the change you wish to see in the world." The Roman empire was broad and powerful for a while. Nazism too. But regimes built on force don't endure. Whether it's fitness, work ethic, spirituality, or college choice, any lasting venture comes from the heart, not in through the ears.
