A good story will beat hard evidence.. We back up the stories we believe with evidence, but the belief comes first. Think of any controversial subject, people believe their story (baby /fetus, man in dress /woman, greatest leader /litteraly Hitler ect). I think if you're able to tell good stories you'll be able to persuade folk a lot better than someone with evidence.

Questions determin our answers. If you want better answers /solutions, start with asking better questions. Eg. Let's say you'd like more friends. A bad question to ask yourself would be 'why does noone like me?' this type of question leads to a list of reasons you should be unlinked /friendless. How would that make you feel? Instead asking 'how can I be more liked?', a better question leads to a list of actions you can take in order to improve your life. We ask ourselves questions all the time. The compound effect happens quickly ask Better Questions and you'll be happier in no time.

If you want to succeed, network.

Sports, music, film, TV, a book. Whatever it is like something. This allows for easy networking. People assume that others with the same likes are like them and we all love ourselves and those like us.
