If you're going to convince people to do things a certain way, you cannot use force. Using your powers of persuasion may feel hypocritical. You'd rather be blunt than cajole others. If you continue to strong arm your audience, you will fail. Take a few moments to survey the terrain. Some people will be moved by flattery. Others will be convinced by appeals to logic. Adjust your approach to fit each situation. By the time you declare victory, you will have learned a valuable lesson about human psychology.
