"There is only one way . . . to get anybody to do anything. And that is by making the other person want to do it."
- Dale Carnegie

Do you usually make your own decisions and determine what is best for you? Do other people influence and persuade you?

Is love different?

From the song 'I Can't Make You Love Me' by Bonnie Raitt:

Turn down the lights,
Turn down the bed,
Turn down these voices inside my head.
Lay down with me,
Tell me no lies,
Just hold me close, don't patronize.
Don't patronize me,
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't.
You can't make your heart feel something it won't.
Here in the dark, in these final hours,
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power,
But you won't, no you won't,
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't.

Suddenly I see,
This is what I wanna be,
Suddenly I see,
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see...

Very persuasive.....

Song 'I Believe In You And Me' by Whitney Houston:

I Believe In You and Me
I Believe That we will be
In love eternally
Well as far as I can see
You Will Always be the one
For me (Oh yes, you will)

And I believe in dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I'm free
Cuz I believe In you and me

I will never leave your side
I will never hurt your pride
When all the chips are down, baby
Then I will always be around
Just to be right where you are
My love, you know I love you, boy

I will never leave you out
I will always let you in, boy
To places no-one's ever been
Deep inside, can't you see?
That I believe in you and me

Maybe I'm a fool
To feel the way I do
I will play the fool forever
Just to be with you forever

I believe in miracles
And love is the miracle
And yes, baby you're my dream come true
I was lost, now I'm free,
Oh, baby cuz i believe, i do believe, in you and me
See, I was lost, now I'm free
Cuz I believe in you and me.

“The problem with breaking up with someone, if you are a little unsure — and so often, people are unsure — is that breaking up involves persuasion. You have to persuade your ex that it is better this way for everyone. And this is difficult if you have not entirely persuaded yourself. It is especially tricky to do this if you are also naked, and making two cups of coffee.”
- Adam Thirlwell, Politics

Peer pressure that persuades.....

"But how much quicker would your attitude have adjusted if your best friend had dared you to eat them? Or if eating broccoli had suddenly become the newest craze in your fifth-grade class?
A new form of social data that harnesses the power of peer pressure is emerging as a potentially powerful way to change behavior and spur the growth of new categories of products. It works because peer pressure data goes beyond demonstrating the functions of a product to satisfy deeply powerful emotional or social needs we may not even realize we have."
- Robyn Bolton, The Persuasive Pressure of Peer Rankings, https://hbr.org/2014/05/the-persuasive-pressure-of-peer-rankings/

"The first time I saw my wife, Marjorie, I was doing stand-up in Memphis, and she was sitting in the front row. Afterward, I walked up and said, 'Ma'am, I'm going to marry you one day.' And 15 years later, I did."
- Steve Harvey

A man persuading a woman to marry him.....

"My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me."

Persuasion and job interviewing

"As I am preparing for the interview, I am recalling the quotes on persuasion I reviewed for the LessonsProject. After all, an interview is about making a good impression and persuading the employer to hire you."

Persuasion in TV, billboard, magazine and other ads

"The goal of advertising is to persuade. First described by Aristotle 2,500 years ago, the three primary rhetorical principles or strategies of persuasion employed by advertisers today are ethos -- persuasion appeals to credibility or trust, logos -- appeals to logic, and pathos -- appeals to emotions."
- George Boykin, Examples of Different Kinds of Persuasion in Advertising

Packaging to persuade (in supermarkets and other stores)

"In a recent BrandSpark International study, we found that only one third of consumers knew exactly which brands they were going to buy on their next visit to the grocery store. A product’s packaging is the last opportunity a marketer has to convince the shopper that their product is superior and worth buying compared to the many options stocked right beside it."

PERSUASION EVERYDAY........

From the song 'Eye To Eye' by Sheryl Crow (feat. Keith Richards)

Don't lay your worries on me,
I got my own to keep me company,
Talk is like a worn out suit,
Comes unraveled when it turns cheap.

If we don't see eye to eye,
That doesn't mean that we can't try,
To get along.

#SongLesson:

From the song 'The Living Years' by MIKE & THE MECHANICS:

You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defense

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts

So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different date
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be O.K.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
