“Advising a stubborn person is like trying to hold water in a sieve.”

Meaning

This proverb means that attempting to advise a stubborn, unwilling, or obstinate person is a futile and unproductive effort. It's like trying to hold water in a sieve—impossible and pointless—as such a person will not listen or accept advice, no matter how much is given.
