When dealing with someone practical, it’s wise to use a practical approach. Most people tend to act in ways that benefit themselves, so appealing to their self-interest usually makes the most sense.
Seeking power often means relying on those above you. Mastering the way you ask for help is crucial—it’s about reading the other person and making sure you don’t mix up your own interests with theirs.
No matter how influential someone is, they're still driven by their own needs. If you don't connect with their self-interest, they'll likely view you as needy or not worth their attention.
If you want to get through to someone, focus on what benefits them. Be direct: show how your insights can make them richer, healthier, and happier. That’s a message everyone gets, no matter the differences between you.
To influence someone, it’s crucial to grasp their mindset. Are they driven by vanity, reputation, or social status? Do they have rivals you could assist them against? Or are their main motivators just wealth and authority?
People are motivated by self-interest. If you show them how helping you benefits them or supports their goals, they’ll be much more willing to assist you. Their resistance often disappears when they see what’s in it for them.
To truly succeed, learn to step into someone else’s perspective—understand their needs and interests, not just your own emotions. If you master this skill, there’s no telling how far you can go.
Relying on mercy and gratitude is risky—they’re fragile and can snap under pressure. Instead, build connections on shared interests; those bonds are strong and lasting, and will support you far better in the long run.
It seems like society often admires wealth and popularity more than qualities like kindness, thoughtfulness, and bravery. Maybe we should celebrate those who show real character a bit more.
People who’ve never pushed themselves won’t appreciate the effort you put in. It’s unrealistic to expect most to understand, since many have never truly worked hard to achieve something.
