Persuasion(:

Persuasion a tactic many humans have mastered, I being one of them. I happen to be very good at getting what I want. The tactics I use are very basic, but in the hands of a master they could persuade a mountain to move.

One tactic I use use is the eyes. Eyes are the key to getting what you want. My mother swears that she is immune to the eye trick. Little does she know that those eyes she is immune to are the same eyes that convinced her to get me everything I have ever ask those. Im not big into the puppy dog eyes, the type of eyes I use are the near tears so there is a glimmer. I'm also thankful for my lush eyelashes. One bat of those lovely lashes and her heart melts.



Logic is another persuasion tactic I use. If I give my mother a rational explanation on why I need something or why I need to go somewhere. This way seems to work a lot more than my other methods of persuasion. For example when I want to go to a friends house right after school, I tell mother that it would be easier on her to let me go right after school becuase it saves her an unecessary drive and gas. She then sees that she is getting a good deal and lets me do as I please.

If my other methods do not work I annoy her till I get what I want. This method is on my final lifeline because both parties do not end up happy. I may get what I want but they way I got what I wanted was not very classy. What I usually do when I use this method is ask for what I want a million times, Whine, Slam doors, yell. The usual annoying teenage girl tactics. Then my mother usally yells and says," Fine do what you want!" I try to use this tactic as little as possible.

Persuasion is probably one of the greatest tools in living life. Without persuasion most people would not have anything they wanted. For me, that would be terrible because I like to get what I want.
