1. Get Them To Love Your Message

2. I watched this interesting
documentary the other day on Netflix.

3. Kind of positive but sad at the same
time.

4. About an American family that wanted
kids, but couldn't have them, so they
adopted a couple from Russia.

5. These kids were already speaking, so
they could speak Russian but not
English.

6. Positive because the parents were
trying to improve all of their lives
(theirs and the kids).

7. But sad because they had troubles
communicating.

8. They kept trying to lecture the kids in
English, but you could tell the kids
didn't really know what the parents
were saying.

9. Once I was in Thailand, haggling over
the price of some tourist knick-knack
from a street vendor.

10. Not only did she not speak English, but
she didn't speak.

11. Deaf-mute.

12. But we communicated perfectly.

13. In fact, I enjoyed the conversation very
much.

14. One thing I get a kick out of is haggling
over prices, especially if the other guy
or girl likes haggling as well, as this
lady clearly did.

15. But even though we could only use
gestures, we got our messages across
perfectly.

16. They say in NLP that the purpose of
your communication is the outcome
you get.

17. Meaning it doesn't matter WHAT your
intention is, it ONLY matters how the
other person will perceive your
message.

18. In a tragic case showing this, a
Japanese student was in Texas looking
for a Halloween party.

19. He was dressed up, and went into the
wrong house.

20. The owner pointed a gun at him and
told him to FREEZE.

21. But the Japanese guy misunderstood,
kept moving forward, and was killed.

22. If it's really important for you to get
your message across, it may be a good
idea to take a little time to make sure
it's heard.

23. The adoptive parents didn't, and it
cause problems.

24. The sidewalk vendor did, and made a
sale.

25. I was HAPPY to give her my money, if
only for the experience.

26. So, how do you know how to best
present your message?

27. How do you know it will be heard, and
understood?

28. Ask!

29. If you ask other people what they
want, BEFORE you throw a random
jumble of word salad at their brains,
you'll have a much better chance of
your message getting across.

30. And them taking your advice, or
buying your product, or giving you
their phone number.

31. The truth about us humans is we are a
walking, talking collection of unmet
needs and desires.

32. Once we get them satisfied, we want
something else.

33. Even where you are right now, as you
read this, it will be hard to sit or stand
very long before you shift your
position.

34. We are ALWAYS on the lookout to
improve our state.

35. Sometimes subconsciously, in the
second to second short term.

36. Sometimes consciously, in the year to
year long term.

37. If you KNOW what they want, and
frame YOUR message in terms of
THEIR desires, they'll LOVE listening to
you.
