Same as "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."
You can provide someone with an opportunity, but you can't make them take it.
You can show people the way to do things, but you can’t force them to act.

just like leading a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink...
one can offer you help, or advice, but it is up to you to accept it or not
