The world is an interesting place as people are not alike. The difference in
outlook and behavior is something that keeps the interest levels ticking. But
sometimes having people comply and come over to your side becomes
important. It is then that one looks for ways and means to achieve this
herculean task. Well, we have compiled a list of forty-one psychological tricks
that are sure to impress and influence people. Read on to know what these
are.
1. When you have lots to do but little or no enthusiasm to get it done, try
using the timer method. In this method, you need to set 10 minutes as
your time to complete the task on hand. This method kicks in motivation
and you may find yourself extending the first 10 minutes by much more.
2. When you need to confront someone without offending them with the
aim of getting the job done, try using passive voice. You could say, “The
meeting was not fixed” instead of “You did not fix the meeting.”

teaching the same to someone else. It is quite likely that it will begin to

other person is not quite forthcoming, just maintain eye contact and
remain silent. You may find this person relenting albeit reluctantly.

the test successfully. One way is to ask the person to repeat the jokes

earlier, instead of brushing him off by saying, ‘’ How many times will you
say the same thing?’’ you may say, ‘’I remember you having shared this
earlier as well.’’ This positive statement can save a friendship.
