WHAT are THE BEST WAYS TO CONVINCE?
107351
It really depends on who you want to convince...if it's someone you love/relative...usually the way to convince is to back off and show that you are not demanding but taking their wants into consideration (it really works in reverse).  However, if it's a professional or academic person that you want to convince, logic works best in your arguments. See to it that your logic has no flaws.  In business, you can convince people to your point of view if you let them see how the proposal/arrangement works to benefit their interest.\n\nWhen it comes to personal beliefs though, it becomes much harder to convince other people to adopt the same so you have to check on how committed they are to their beliefs or religion first.  As they say, you cannot seduce a happy man.

What do you feel strongly about, thats what the best persuasive speechs are about, if you care abotu somethign it won't be hard for you to try to persuade sombody for 5-8 minutes, do a little research to have some facts behind what you say, and you should be fine.\n\nYou may even try to check out some hot political topics - immigration is huge right now, the iraq war, and persuade for what you feel.  Death penalty has been done a million times, but thats always an idea

How to convince people to keep giving money to an organization that has BILLIONS of dollars in assets, how to convince them that the organization STILL needs more of their money, how to cover up abuse (nuns verbally and physically abusing school children, priests sexually abusing children, etc), how to brainwash people so they hang on your every word, even when common sense tells them what you are saying is wrong, etc.

You'll have to figure it out for yourself, you can't persuade people on a topic you are not 100% convinced of.  You can try picking up a newspaper or magazine and reading stories and thinking about your personal opinion and/or choices on what is going on around the world.

Don't press them as truths when you have no proof to submit them as such.  Assert them as your beliefs and let them compete in the free market of ideas.  If they are good, they'll stand up on their own.  If they're no good, they will fail.  \n\nAs a famous christian theologist put it, "Christianity is a lion, you never have to defend a lion, only release it."  \n\nIf your ideas have any merit, they will stand up to rational scrutiny on their own without your constant pressure.

If he's really your best friend.. level with him, tell him what you heard and saw, and tell him out of respect for him you thought that he should have the information to draw from.. \n\nThen let him take that info and do whatever he wants with it.. don't try to convince him... let him convince himself. \n\nThe thing is, he will either find the truth or decide to convince himself that the information was wrong...either way support his thinking.. and be relieved when he finds out that it isn't true...even if you KNOW better, he will eventually see the truth and know that you gave him a heads up long before he was able to believe it for himself.

Just tell him the truth.  I think the best way to do this is start off with a talk.  You tell him how you fell and he will tell you how he fells.  Please don't jump the gun.

Oh my gosh, I never, ever, thought I'd say this, but I agree with, with--ahem, I know I can do this, I agree with the hippe!  (man that hurt)\n\nCommunication, simple, honest, with love, is the best way to go.  You may wish to state that you are "concerned" rather than "worried".  You could even stop short of describing your concern.  Just, "Dad, I'm concerned about you, is everything all right?"  Then, LISTEN to what he says.  He may brush it right off.  If he does, leave it at that.  Sometimes it seems people don't hear us, but they do, and given a few days time, or so, he may come back to you with something.

A good strategy:\n> Place time into answering questions. You get 2 points for trying, but 10 more if it's chosen as the best.\n> If a question goes into voting, choose your answer as the best. Odds are if no one else places votes and / or the topic isn't popular, you'll earn your keep in no time.\n> Keep question asking to a minimum. Unless you are certain you can rise out of the defecit, then don't ask too many questions.\n> NEVER ask factual questions. Keep it to something that can only be truly answered through experience. Factual questions are easily answered with search engines, so don't do that.\n> Vote for answers, critique best answers. These only get one point shots, but you can do this more often than answering questions.\n> Go for questions in semi-obscure topics. If you take a question like that, and give a good answer, you'll be somewhat assured that there isn't any competition, thereby increasing your odds of getting your answer selected as the best.\n> Honor goes to the swift. Don't let the others swoop in on the question when you have a great answer. The higher up you are, the better your chances of being selected.\n> Browse about. Go to one question, answer it, then click on someone else who answered, see the questions they answered, and repeat the process. Done for a long time, this can rack up the points.

Please give us a little more detail. For example, what government are you talking about? What is your speech trying to prove? What are the criteria? As a general guideline, if you are writing this to persuade, then make sure you have some persuasive elements in you speech. Such as appeals (rational, emotive etc).

The most persuasive people do not seem to be trying to persuade anyone of anything.  I think two of the most persuasive are Mother Teresa and His Holiness, the Dalai Lama.  They persuade us by their example and their lives of dedication to their fellowman, not by their words.

Pick and choose your battles wisely.  Stand up for yourself if it is something you really believe in.  Otherwise, if it's something he really believes in, listen, be understanding, and just let it be.  It's not worth the aggravation to always argue or that you always have to win.  I think its really important to only argue when absolutely necessary.  If you are not wanting to get into a fight; let him know, and stop the conversation.  Sometimes, later I'll even get an apology for it.  I just don't make a big deal out of it.  They appreciate that.

When we put forth our answers with conviction & sincerity it helps , but remember our past impressions (record) plays a big role convince a person . also remember when you promise some thing to some one you are doubting your own capability to stand true to your word.Your words should make others take your statements on face value ( no pleading no begging) it is a long and tiresome path which you and your dear & near ones both have to walk on. for that is COMPATIBILITY in it's true & genuien form,which needs no explanation or convincing.
