Everyone has a high regard for themselves and feels unselfish in their own estimation.
People can have two reasons why they do things: one that sounds good and a real one.
Most people like to think of motives that sound noble, so if I come to people with noble
motives they will probably be more attracted to them as well.
Some of these nobler motives could be: -being a man of your word -love and respect for
parents -refraining from harming children -donating to charity -the reputation of being an
honest human -being fair and patient
People can become more open to talking if you let them know that they’re the authority
of the conversation.
People are honest, but what to discharge their obligations.
But if you make them feel honest, they can probably feel it and fulfill their obligations.
Chapter 12 - Challenge

done.
It is an infallible way to appeal to people of spirit.
Even if all men have fears, they can leave them behind and become brave.
Because for men, there probably isn’t the greatest challenge than overcoming those fears.
Money and money alone won’t hold people together as the game(competition) between them
will do most likely.
The number one factor that motivates people to do work is the work itself (how interesting and
exciting it is).
Based on this, the worker is more motivated to do a better job.
Every successful person loves the game, and every person loves to prove that they can win and
excel.
To do that you want to become more diplomatic. . You can make someone else’s problem sound
more like your problem: . ”There are some things about which I’m not quite satisfied with you” .
Genuinely complimenting people and telling them why they’re superior to their competitors is
one of the best types of compliments, if not the best. . When you begin with the compliment, you
still don’t want to say the real reason why you joined the conversation (talk about problems) .
To make a genuine compliment you can try to admire something specific about how someone
works. . Beginning with praise can massively kill the pain people feel from criticism. . Begin
with praise and honest appreciation.
