The art of convincing people

Know your numbers.

Whenever you talk about anything always quote the numbers.

Say 2 out of 20 people have this or that…, 60% of children are this or that…, et cetera.


Have your facts right.

Know what you really know, what you just have a clue about and what you don’t know.

In connection to that, treat all unconfirmed information as rumors and take an effort to research and confirm that bits of knowledge that interest’s you.

Be fast to acknowledge what you don’t know or just shut up.


Tell a story.

If the discussion is about a relative topic, package your point in a story.

Tell it so well that even if someone doesn’t agree with your point, they at least agree with your story; and trust me, you have convinced them already.

Knowledge is Power

God made the universe, made animal, made plants, and created the humans. He then made humans in charge of everything. He made human a god on earth. That is biblically true since during creation of Humans, God said, “Let Us create an image with our own likeness”. The likeness of God is being God, so we are gods…
Our intelligence helps us keep all other creatures under control. We don’t have to be as strong as elephants, or brave as lions, or fast as cheetahs… We are automatically in control of nature.
But there is something we can’t control even if we were given the means to. Its Evolution. Trying or even thinking to control Evolution is like being a cannibal, and starting to feed on your own body. There is a line separating what we know, what we can know, and what no one will ever know, like the details of life, soul, and spirit…
Any being with a slightly higher knowledge than humans on earth has us in control. The being can do whatever it wishes with us, all because we would never comprehend. Knowledge directly determines the level of control we have. That is why there are ranks at work to grade employees according to experience, and skills.
