Law 9

It is said that “any momentary triumph you think you have gained through argument is really a pyrrhic victory”, through personal experience I couldn’t agree more; as I’m sure you will too.

Anyone who knows this law will be familiar with its origins and keys to gaining control of it, if you are unfamiliar then listen closely.

Lets have a think together, on your journey to your own personal goals im sure you have encountered times where the situation has turned into an argument whilst parties have been trying to get their points/reasoning across; yes? Of course it happens. Have you left the argument annoyed and felling unaccomplished? Of course!.....Now here is the difference, the people who are successful at gaining this power have a different strategy, they have a different ability, one in which you must learn and must learn immediately.

Firstly, these successful men and women of this amazing power use the word ‘persuasion’ rather to describe the ‘event’ than ‘argument’. A person can only stop and think about why this is, to then discover how to attain this remarkable ability.

The use of the word persuasion automatically entails there is a long term goal rather than short term, and that’s the basic foundation of law 9. It is this ability to see further into the future, to have the imagination/logic to foresee the effect your persuasion will have over time rather than the now.

We all know the saying “words are a dime a dozen” and most weak people will say anything to gain the temporary perceived ‘advantage’, learn how to control the context anddirection of your purpose, the more you practice this art the better you will be at handling situations in the future where it will be imperative to WIN in order to reach your goals.

Learn how control and persuade people by words, but even this is very primitive. “The master wins by action” (Goodman 1985). YES that’s the first real step in learning how to control the art of persuasion; ACTION, ACTION, ACTION!!!.

We are not talking here about ‘violence’ but the art of doing by demonstration and over time you WIN. Lets be honest there will be people who may appear to agree with you, to be polite but inside may resent you; the only way a MASTER truly wins is by proving them wrong or asserting your opinions and feelings through action. It is called LEARNING, which is like water in the world of success!

“Drink lots of water to quench that thirst for success” (T R Bentley-Woode 1985)

Have a persuasive week!
