You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar

To me, this idom,"you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar " means that when we make someone to do or accept somethings , more gentle and lovely words or behaviors than scorld will make him or her to do or follow to the ways which I hope. I think always gentle behaviors with all of heart make good results. In my case, I was a teacher before 5 months ago. I could meet students who had unique and lovely personalities. Most students followed my words very well. But, one of them did not focus on me. After a few weeks later, I could hear the reason why she did not focus on me. She missed a lot her previous teacher. What could make her to see me? At that time I thougt like that. As I think her now, I really loved her because she resembled me. I prasied her a lot even though I knew, to her, it was hard to accept me like her previous teacher. However, at the end of our class, I heared that she told her mother that she was sad to apart with me. I was glad to get her mind. Like this , we can let someone do well with soft words and attitudes than strong voice in our life.
