I find myself being that George all the time. Once I apparently convinced a friend of a friend of a friend (ie a stranger) to make another baby.
I only know this because when I saw these people two years later they had an extra kid in tow and thanked me for convincing them to make a plunge. I have no idea what I said, but they were adamant that I shoved them over the fence.
Another time I got a kid in undergrad admit to me that he wasn't going to the job fairs because he was expected to go to grad school.
I pointed out to him that applying to a job is a skill, and a hard one at that. I also told him that just because you apply for a job doesn't mean you'll take it. His jaw dropped at that realization (he's first gen Korean-American).
If you want to be George all you need to do is say basic, obvious, truths everyone pretends to ignore.
