And further I give this person another example. I say:

— Listen, just imagine that you have a little sister. And we come to visit her
with you, and she is playing a computer game with friends. And we played
this game with you, let’s say, and passed it long ago. And we see that your
sister is stuck on the third level of the game and cannot pass, and makes
the same mistakes as we did before. And we remember with you that we
spent a whole month to pass this third level, because there you need to
run in the other direction, and this is not understood immediately. And
so imagine, you sincerely, from the heart, generally not with the goal to
show who is smarter, who is more successful, who is more beautiful, you
simply sincerely to your close relative, that is to your little sister, with whom
you don’t even have a thought to compete — she is a child, why should you
compete with her, understand yourself how funny this is — and so imagine,
you are an adult, give advice to your sister that she needs to run in the other
direction in this game to pass the third level. And your sister with an angry
face starts raising her voice at you and says for you to leave her alone, and is
rude to you, and says ‘get lost’. What do you think is happening with your
sister? After all, it might seem to her that you want to show her that she is
stupid, here are the thoughts she has. That you, probably, want to belittle
her. That you want to show that you are smarter, she is stupider. And it seems
so to her, if she is with an ego inside and with a demon. But you are now...
My friend, employee, you know that you are an adult, like me, that you did
not pursue the goal of offending your sister, it means these are her some kind
of psychological problems. And after all, you really simply from the fact that
you already passed the whole game, just wanted to suggest to her where not
to make mistakes and where she needs to turn correctly, just that. And she
fundamentally does not do what you say, and resists you and directly yells
at you and hates you. Why? Think about it.

And when I give this example to the employee, I say:

— And do you understand that we have the same story with you? I am not your
equal, I am an adult, old man. Why should I compete with you, with a simple
ordinary mortal person? What is the goal, what pleasure can I get, so that
