Persuading others....

Recently, I’ve been attempting to sell my old car because I’m getting a new one. However, I’m learning that my skills at persuading others can use some improvement. What tend I do is I don’t speak with confidence and that hampers my efforts at selling my car. I should exaggerate a little bit…..build up some hype…….and convince the other person that they are making a worthwhile deal.

Everybody wants a good condition car……..so that’s what you tell them. Nobody is looking for a car that has a lot of mechanical problems. Face it……….nobody these days are honest anymore…….especially when it comes to business. It’s funny because I read a quote from someone, in which he said “believe nothing of what you hear and half of what you see”. This is a very symbolic quote and it is very true in many ways. For example, the job of politicians is to lie in order to convince others that their way is the right way. Also, religious leaders sometimes exaggerate certain elements in order for you to submit to their cause. Last but not least, parents lie too because they believe their lie is for your own good. When you were little, you asked your parents whether Santa Claus, tooth fairy, leprechauns, etc. Of course their going to tell you yes, because they don't want to makey you feel bad or be disappointed. Obviously when you get older, they tell you the truth because they believe now you can handle it since your more mature.

Face it…….there is a lot of people out there telling you lies. You have to be careful in what or who you choose to believe. If you are conscious about these things, you will succeed not only in business, but in life in general.
