Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view
<p>Seeing the world from the perspective of the person we want to convince is very powerful, but it is also very hard. [<a class="litnote tooltip" href="/literature/@carnegie2010">@carnegie2010<span class="tooltiptext">How to win friends & influence people</span></a>] gives some examples, for example of convincing teenagers not to make a fire close to a tree. Instead of confronting them with the rules, we can acknowledge they want to have fun, and persuade them to move to a different spot, where the risk of burning a forest is lower. It is not dissimilar to <a class="wikilink" href="/talk_in_terms_of_the_other_person's_interests/">Talk in terms of the other person's interests</a>. We first make them like us, them we push our own agenda. </p>
