Here are some hot tips to effectively influence and persuade anyone you desire.

1) Enter their world.

You must understand situation according to their point of view. Set aside your personal interests and concentrate on them.

Just pretend that if you are them, what would you do? What would be your opinion? Then take appropriate action that would be beneficial to them.

Copy them. Observe how they act, how they speak, and how they think. If they rub their forehead while they think, act like them. If they speak at a clear and slow pace, try to do same thing. This is called mirroring.

In due time, people you're mirroring will subconsciously feel more comfortable with you. It's as if they see themselves in you.

However, you must proceed with caution. Do not let them be aware that you are copying them. They might interpret it as mockery and you'll just get into trouble.

2) Be Friendly and Nice.

Smile to brighten up day. Make a sincere compliment to raise their spirits. Little things like these count a lot.

Unspun fleece is a lovely and fundamental thing, unprocessed and in its natural state. The sort of thing that, like character, adds body to something else. Unspun fleece joined to your thread of acrylic, cotton or wool yarn add body to finished product, much as character adds body to personality of a person.

To thrum something, you work these wisps of fleece into your project, and result is a mitten, let’s say, that’s very soft on inside, and far warmer than it would’ve been without thrumming. In other words, it’s insulation!

So how can you “thrum” your life? And why would you want to?

Well we all need insulation from slings and arrows of fortune. We know that going it alone – isolation – is one of worst things we can do to ourselves. And “isolation” isn’t about being around other bodies or things.

We know we can be in a room full of people (or material possessions) and still feel isolated.

We can work in an office all day long, surrounded by tens to hundreds of other people, and feel more alone than we would sitting at home by ourselves.

It’s not physical presence of others that eases isolation and gives comfort; it’s having an emotional connection with them. And this is a two-way connection. We need to be able to give this as well as receive it.

When we develop our emotional intelligence, we’re thrumming out lives.

One of best reasons for developing emotional intelligence is that it contributes to your wellness. It gives you that insulation, that protection that you need. When we can connect with others, everything goes better. We live longer, healthier and happier lives. We survive illness better, and are more resilient. We find meaning and hope in our lives.
