FTA : "Listen. Try to ascertain what the person really wants."
Funny, to me "convincing" is usually the act of making someone agree to what you have in mind. And I envy those who can do that 'cos usually I don't have the strength to do it :-(
- santoshalper 6y agoIt's a dark art for sure, but the grey area is "convincing someone to do what you think is best for them".
- brlewis 6y agoOutside of physical force, the way to make someone agree to what you have in mind is to show them how it ties into what they want.
- wiz21c 6y agoYes of course, but most of the time my ideas are somewhat "on the edge" so it's very difficult fro anybody to accept, so it's tough to convince. Example 1 : run free software, it's better. Example 2 : what about sharing a car ? Example 3 : what about not buying useless gifts ? I usually want to convince people not to do things instead of doing more or better. So the odds are against me :-)
