art of convincing.. hurm... my first thought that came into my mind when i read this.. have no idea what its mean, haha!
but then i started to think, to me there are many way of to convince ppl, and there are many reasons why we want to convince them..
myself in convincing people is really not one of my experties, i think.. i said this because i sometimes had a hard time to convince myself, how can i convince people if i cant convince myself well.. hehe! But just to be clear that is the person is important in my life and he or she mean the world to me, i will give my all to make them believe in me..
Next is the external and internal matter that effect my believe in someone..
Erm, to me this one is quite easy to understand, we just have to follow our heart. Physically is hard, because we tend to give a wrong impression of someone when we meet them at first time. That is why the phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” is made up. And then emotionally, actually this one is depends on the person, we usually can feel it in our heart if that person is really sincere to us or not. People cannot explain why and how it is happen but this is how it goes. No matter what, just believe in your heart and what your minds tell you..
It is the best solution after all..
This is my opinion..

Thank you

Convincing... Is an adjective words.
To convince in something we must be confident... To be confident we must do convincing thing that can convince us to do the convincing thing... It sounds complex... But that is how I described it... Heheh I am technical person... To make it simple convincing is hard to do... The faith in ourselves(our God too) is really important element in this thing.

To make people believe in my words, I have to make my own backup for my own statement. It is like playing chess which we have to have strong strategy to win the game. We must understood well to convince others. The characteristics that we show also have to be honest. Obviously, how can we trust a criminal?? That is just an opinion..

art is very beauty,mystery and difficult to understand sometimes.The art of convincing? This public question.

I specific art to drawing.
yes!!the art of convincing..it's my opinion. we know that the artist draw something they need internal convincing.The convincing they express in their drawing. their drawing have many colour where colour make anybody get convincing. everyone have favorite colour.For me.when I see red colour I very convincing to do something. I get internal motivation from that to avoid me feel down in study.

How good are you in convincing people to believe in you?

I convincing people to believe me enough with good attitude, determination to do any work, kind for everyone, and be yourself!!!

For me first impression is important but it for a while. For a long time, internal and external is very important. I consider both.
Also in my life to choose friends. So, don't judge book by it's cover and not judge someone before we really know them.

Convince people huh??Its ridicilous...haha Why i think like that??ok let see,as everyone know,our life is full of doubt..actually its hard for us to make people believe us.maybe if we tell he or she about something,he or she act likes they interested,but who know,they talk something uncomfortable at our back..if this matter comes to us,maybe we do the same things.we cannot blame people if they cannot believe us bcoz sometimes we do the same things too.I dont know if I'm good in convince people.for me if i want to convince them i will give my all to make them believe in me but its up to them to believe or not.
there is a category of people that we can trust more and trust less...
if we talk about family,is there someone that do not believe her/his family?maybe a little but mostly they do.its simple right?family is people we need to trust more,bcoz we live with them.how about frenz?its not a mistake if we trust them but plz not too trust.for me friend is friend,bcoz not all our friend is kind and understand us.there is some kind of friend who will leave us when we got into trouble..in this case who will help us??of course our family right?? hehe honestly i do trust my friend..but not too much..

hamdya said...

convincing people is hard when you don't have any confident..for me if we have a higher confident level the more people will convince in you..once its logical..i gave the example on art of convincing where me and my mother go to mall and suddenly a 'ogawa man' appear out of no where and try to convince my mother that the thing that their company sell was the best and reasonable..he use many kind tactics to convince my mother and at the end my mother bought it but actually before this my mother does not interested in the product that she bought..i guess after all it is one of the art of convincing..thats is what popped in my head after i read your 'art of convincing', my mother and her's ogawa set..hahaha..
i rather to say i more look in internal matter rather than external matter if i want to believe in someone..i believe in people that really close to me..the people who close to me tend to know more about me..for me how can i know he or she if i can trust them by looking their external matter like he or she is beautiful or smart..and also i will not trusted people whether he or she closed to me or not once she had deceive me..if once they had done to me, i will be more carefull with he or she next time and my trust on he or she is 'decreasing'..decreasing haha..

hamdya said...

hahah...i miss my point there..
how good that i can convince people is by my atitude..i'm cheerful and happy go lucky and with this atitude i get more confident to convince people but whether being accepted or not its another matter...hopefully i can convince mr.sheffy in my final project..

[diyana] said...

CONVINCING?????? hurmmm....

we'll feel pretty bad if we cant convince people, rite? even worse, they are skeptics.....i dont really like skeptics... doooohhh...

SkEPTICS? people that always doubt bout everything and everyone... this kind of people will make you broke into goosebumps..hehehehe

for me, the most crucial thing is we've to believe in ourselves before we convince others....
we've to belive in ourselves even when people putting us down...

KNOWLEDGE=CONFIDENCE=PATIENCE -->
THE TICKET FOR US TO CONVINCE PEOPLE....

i'm trying so hard to make people believe in me...but, it's depends on others to believe or not...

HOW ABOUT ME???? i'll get to know more bout someone then i'll know whether she/he can be trusted or not... knowing others first,yaa... do not giving comments based solely on their appearance...but sometimes,i also directly comment bout others even it's a first time i meet them..hummmm...that's something to be avoided.. i'Allah...

lastly, it’s you who define whom you are , not others.............

The art of convincing...
hurmm...
I have no idea whatsoever...
huhu...
I did not know much about arts and definitely don't have any clue in convincing people..
hehe...
I'm really, really bad at convincing people...
I did not consider myself as a convincing type of person..
to be frank, I'm pretty much the type of person who is easily being convinced...
just say anything nice and I'll going to trust you...
then,people will take me for granted...
when I started to trust them, they betrayed me...
I'm sicked of this...
It is frustrating!
then again, this is the circle of life...
When we trust someone, they stabbed us from the back..
So i keep reminding myself not to trust people so much but it is REALLY REALLY hard!
I don't know why...
But I still trying though (in progress~~)

well, did you guys believe my story?
hehe..
but what i just said is true...
it happens...
n still happen...

I easily convinced by others externally...
i don't know...
maybe they seems nice or otherwise from the outside...
Well, I should not judge a book by its cover right??
but that is what i tend to do...
So I guess I have to change so that people won't judge me from the outside too..
which i don't like!

We must have self-confidence if we want to convince others...
if we did not have any confidence, do you expect others will going to believe you??
absolutely not!
So i admit,I'm not confident with myself and maybe,just maybe that's why others did not have a faith in me..

whatever it is, if anything happen,just believe in yourself and take a leap of faith...
that's all from me, Munira a.k.a Yaya...

zarina_e02_syawal said...

convincing are like eat "nasi kerabu" write??hehe just joke..=)

art of convincing..
i think that i terror in convince people...i know you are agree with me..you know why?
first, i think that i can convince people around me because when i got a job, i will do that job seriously and give the best result.
it's very important!!

sometimes..when we do the presentation, thats give some effect to ourself. it's can increase and improve in convince ourself..

thats all my opinion about convincing...
as conclusion, convince is very important...if all people around you not convince with you,your life become difficult..

ram_lalala said...

convincing people???????
quite hard to comment....
i think it's such a complicated thing...
there are a lot of things to do to convince people...
need to be confident enough right???
i think that is the point!!!
how could people accept what we say if the way we deliver it is truly not appropriate..
and it's also about the situation...to convince children is quite easier than adults right???
why it goes like that???
i think that is the way others think and how they accept what we said!!!
for people to convince me...
hmm....i think i will believe in something that not sounds too good..
don't try to convince me with something that you say it's absolutely correct or right cause i will not believe on that...
i don't know why....
i think...it's good to convince me in a soft way.........
explain in a good word...
influence me with some facts may be..hehehe...
so...i think that is how it goes..
i don't truly understand this topic...
so..what i said is just the way i think about it...

Cornelia Chin said...

Basically, in my opinion, the art of convincing simply means being persuasive and having the ability to make someone believe and trust in you completely.

I think I am a pretty convincing person as a whole. This would be because I think and act very quickly most of the time. I used to be very active in school fund-raiser programmes such as charity foodsale, collecting donations and selling charity tickets. These kind of activities require a great amount of persuasiveness and patience to convince people that it is all done for a good cause.

On the contrary, I am not a person who is very easily convinced. It takes quite an amount of persuasiveness to get a thought into my head. Therefore, I do not get innfluenced by anyone or anything that easily. Usually, I will exercise my own right judgement when I choose whether or not I want to trust a person completely. Hence, other people's opinion will only serve as an advice for me but they will not influence my final decision. I do not normally bear grudges towards others because I feel that it is nonsensical to do so and only God has the final say to everything. So my past feelings will not keep me from believing in a person if the scenario seems logical to me.

Those are basically my opinions for these few questions.

about the convincing people..
i think you should convince yourself before you want to convince people actually..how people can trust you if you are not convincing at all?..
i'm not good in convince myself in certain things..like example when i was taking my examination i have to convince myself that my answers will be correct..haha..although i'm not pretty sure about that..(lack of study)huhu..as long as i try to answer all the questions confidently..and i try my best to do it..

Jin Hui said...

In my opinion, the art of convincing is an ability that can make people trust in you. It needs a lot of talent that not anybody can do that including me. I am not a person who can really make the people to believe what I said. I don't know why but I have try my best to convincing people. However, I am the person not easily to be convinced. I will just believe in people that always tell me the truth and having the same thought. I will also doubt when I find somebody simply talk about the things without observing.

Hello,
The art of convincing is a very unique talent.Im very sure not everyone possess this talent.First of all,we must be clear with what is the meaning of convincing? Convincing can be best defined as persuing or making someone to agree with what we are saying.Usually,we tend to convince others to achieve what we wanted for or expected.It is always a tough time when convincing others because there are various kind of people with different mindset.Thus,we must be wise enough when it comes to convincing others.We must use different tactics to approach these people.As in my personal life,the way i used to convince my parents is by behaving as a good child until they agree to fulfill my wishes.As a conclusion,the art of convincing is something which is not very hard to learn if we realy can read the mind of that specific person.Good luck..!

Aishah Alkhushairi said...

Art of convincing,
well, all people need to learn how to convince people on what we wanna say. For me, i'm not good enough to convince people because of my weakness in using words. But sometimes i try harder to convince people. Before i convince people, i need to convince myself in what to do. From that, people will see our effort to convince them.
The internal and external matter that effect my believe in someone are:
1. try understand what they wanna say and think it deeply, it is true or not.
2. believe in your heart and mind. If think is no convince you, don't pretend you are.
3. their effort in what they wanna say

e02sallynna said...

At first, i'm not quite sure what this topisc is all about but then my understanding becomes better when i read my friends comments. And from my point of view,convincing someone to believe what you say is to make someone to either accept a new idea or update his knowledge or belief about an existing idea. However, not all people will accept your ideas with the same degree as you are,hence there are rules that every person is subject to and if used correctly, will increase your chance of convincing other people to believe in what you say.If the person you want to convince already has prior knowledge or experience of what you're trying to convince them with, then your primary goal is to shake his beliefs and proving them false and only after that you can present them with your own idea. If the person does not have a previous idea about that thing, you can just start by presenting your own view right away.The greater a person’s knowledge about something, the harder will it be to convince him of something different. What do you think will happen if you tried to convince an expert about the things that they are masters in? I'm sure it will be extremely hard unless you can provede them with a strong evidence. Thus the obstacle to convincing people are their level of knowledge about what you're going to say. Contrary to common belief, skeptics can be made to believe in something new and also you need to have clear evidence to prove your idea. The more clues you can provide to strengthen your argument, the less skeptic the other person will be and so the easier they will be convinced. As a conclussion that is my opinion about this art of convincing and please fell free to correct me if i'm wrong.

This particular post might change some people's minds about how things are going with me... but that is not its intention. I just want to express my feelings and this is how I am feeling right now.

I wish I could sit here and tell you that I feel that radiation is the logical and best next path for me. Unfortunately, I can not do this. Yes, I am doing it and I will continue the therapy but I can not honestly say that I feel it is the right path for me at this time. I believe I need to just trust the doctors and 100% of everyone else but in my heart I am not yet convinced. Will I ever be convinced? I wish I could answer that right now. So why am I doing it if I am not convinced it is the right path? For once, I just have to trust the doctors. Do I trust the doctors? I trust very few in the medical field. Is it important that I eventually convince myself this is the right path? Yes, it is very important for my mental health. Why? If radiation doesn't work or the side effects get severe, I will always question why I didn't follow my instincts. It's not like you can undo it once it begins.

So why am I not convinced? I really wish I could answer this. I'm typically a very logical person and this is good and bad sometimes. It's good because I weigh out all the options. It's bad because sometimes I pick up on things and ask questions that have no answer. I believe this is where the current problem lies. I have questions that just can not be answered and because of this, I can not convince myself that this is the right choice. This is just one of the many things I feel are working against me in convincing myself of this being the right path. Others include the fact I am still not having any symptoms, this tumor has not showed change in the past year, I have not received "my" sign that this is the right path (I have every other time prior), I had less time to contemplate this decision, and I'm not sure the benefits can truly outweigh the side effects.

So you see, I'm in a very confused mental state right now and this will probably be even more affected by the fact that I will probably never get myself convinced of this choice. Unfortunately, if I come to the conclusion that this definitely isn't the right choice... it's a bit too late.

salam..hye!!For me I would say that convincing peoples is an advantage if ones can practice it in their life.This good value should be apply as it teach us how to make some one else confident with us.Actually, it is not an 'easy game' to play.We ourself need the value of self esteem first before we want to make someone else as what we want.But nowadays,peoples are hardly beleive in some one especially the perso that do not know as there are so many cases involving the trust of someone.As for me,before we wiling to trust somebody, we need to investigate who is he,and all information about what he want to say before u make a step to believe in him.

convince people is one of the diffcult thing to do because not all people trust what we talking about....

mieda said...

Assalammualaikum..
First of all,I think that's a good topic that we need to know that convincing people not easy to do...Especially for me..huhu
To convince my self actually I need to a long time to convince other people to believe what I talking about...But a little bit people that who I can convince which most of people that more important for me..So I' not shy to talking with them..
For convince other people,I need to prepare my self with good impression when infront other people..Also,I must have a good value like good attitude,have more knowledge,experience,a good behaviour,trust to my self and have a good idea to developed thing like issue what I talking about..Actually I have not believe more and ever than other people if there have a bad value from their heart like lie other peole and also not have intelligence to self and so on...So that's my idea and comment that I can given.That's all..

NOOR said...

alowaa......
this is my first time i post the comment in this blog...
i not too sure about this topic...but i try my best to give the opinion based on my experiences...
actually to convince people is hard to do..especially to the person whose not too friendly enough...they usually don't like having a conversation and prefer to be alone. so its depend on us to attract them...if we don't have the talent in convince people,so its become more difficult...for me
i always remind myself that i need to believe in myself before making others to believe in me because we know what we really are...so i think that i have a little bit talent on convincing people...
i not too sure that i have the internal n external matter the effect my believe in someone for this time..maybe someday i will know it...bye......

in order to convincing people..i think that we should be sincere and show our sincerity towards them.and we also should behave properly as behaviours makes people's impression.

for a matters that make me hard to believes people is an experience that i had with them..their background also will affected my trust to them..

amme said...

im not used to convince people because i myself have never mastered that thing.seriously it's rather peculiar for me because my friends have that feeling that i don't have that power words to convince them in certain amount of things.for me,i was not born for that.it is hard to please someone when they are in complex situation.whether to make a choice in their lives or to find a better decision,i just have no complete idea to straighten the tangled string of problems.naturally,people tend to stand on their opinion.so,it is very hard to offer people that certain degree of expectation in convincing them.maybe for some people they can actually sort of the problem.but what matters most is that,how we can actually manage to choose the right words so that they can actually see the reality.and that's is

Nasir Ali said...

Hmm i think when someone i trust talk to me i trust him back...

Sometime I need to follow my instinct
and the person that I trust the most is myself..

I have seen a lot of my friends who happen to have an excellent ability of convincing people, all the while they don't even believe the matter themselves. So, based on this, i can safely assume that we don't have to believe it, in order to convince people into it. As for me, i am easily convinced when my friends that are dear to me proposed something to me. So, having people to like you, i guess do make a great impact on the outcome of the 'game'. Sometimes people just need that one person to tell them to do it, so that in case it did not work out, they can always shrug it off by saying, "I told you so.." I guess we all do.
O-O
