Q: How to do the impossible task of convincing people to change a deeply entrenched habit that unnecessarily(changing said habit does not harm the person who changed) negatively affects others, when there are no visible, legal, physical, or social repercussions to such people in continuing to remain as they are? How can I do this successfully while still remaining doing my office job(as leaving job just to convince people may not pay at all,i.e., it may pay but it is extremely risky)? Especially if I feel like the only way I can successfully convince someone is if I have a lot of time to sit around convincing every passerby(job takes up lot of time, with the little time I have left for convincing people, my efforts seem to be bearing no fruit)?
