" Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear. "

When you find yourself giving too many reasons to validate your point or explaining it by presenting details, then don't do it. When you try to over-explain something, you lose the meaning of the words.

People only want to hear what they want to, so even if you try to change someone's perspective by explaining them, it would be futile.
