How To Win People To Your Way Of Thinking:
1) The only way to get the best out of an argument is to avoid it
2) Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say "you're wrong"
3) If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically
4) Begin in a friendly way
5) Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately
6) Let the other person do a great deal of the talking
7) Let the other person feel like the idea is his or hers
8) Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view
9) Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires
10) Appeal to the nobler motives (ie in the absence of any fact to the contrary, assume the other person is being honest and truthful)
11) Dramatise your ideas
12) Throw down a challenge ( but not in a threatening manner!)
