I got to have this.

I have seen people yelling and screaming to get what they want in community settings, but is it the right way to do it. How can you manipulate someone this way ? They will actually be offended and up their guard higher instead of giving you what you want.

You want something at home , work , community , family . What do you do to get what you want ? Argue, manipulate, hypnotize, threaten , butter up ?

Something I read regarding good parenting

"Yelling and screaming at a child to make the child behave is like trying to drive a car by honking its horn."

Those words of wisdom apply to adults too! In any debate, emotion and anger do nothing but detract from the desired goal. You dont even have to "butter up", you just have to leave emotion out of it all. IMHO.

^ yeah I second that. The more emotionally and eccentrically invested one is equates to: the more vulnerable and close to not getting what u want. When u're niether, its amazing that you end up getting it, as long u make it clear initially in bold that 'u r interested'..hmm... I do :)
