“My grandfather used to say that most people don’t want to hear the thing that will make it work better,” I said. “They want to hear what will make it easier.”
Have you ever found yourself calling someone for advice, knowing that the advice will reaffirm your desire to take the easy way out? I certainly have. But Hannah’s grandfather is a truth-teller, so she knows (even if she doesn’t want to know) that the easy road is often not the road that you need to take.
