Change Management Explained Episode 49 

New York is 3 hours ahead of California,
but it does not make California slow.
Someone graduated at the age of 22,
but waited 5 years before securing a good job!
Someone became a CEO at 25, 
and died at 50.
While another became a CEO at 50,
and lived to 90 years.
Someone is still single,
while someone else got married.
Obama retires at 55,
& Trump starts at 70.
Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone.
People around you might seem to go ahead of you,
some might seem to be behind you.
But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME
Don’t envy them or mock them.
They are in their TIME ZONE, and you are in yours!
Life is about waiting for the right moment to act.
So, RELAX.
You’re not LATE.
You’re not EARLY.
You are very much ON TIME.

Le Franglish

one of my favorite poetry.

There are many techniques you can use to persuade people, one of the most powerful is repetition.

Repetition is a fundamental aspect of persuasion. It's a technique that's been used for centuries by everyone from politicians to advertisers to convince people to take a certain action or believe a certain idea. And it works because repetition helps to reinforce your message and make it stick in people's minds.

One of the ways repetition can be used effectively in business is through the use of images. Images have a powerful impact on our brains, and they can help to reinforce your message in a way that words alone cannot. For example, if you're trying to sell a product, using images of happy customers using that product can help to convince others to buy it as well. Similarly, if you're trying to negotiate a deal, using images of successful partnerships or collaborations can help to persuade the other party to agree to your terms.

Repetition is also about using the same phrases and words repeatedly to drive your point home. This can be especially effective in business, where you often need to communicate complex ideas in a clear and concise manner. By using the same phrases and words repeatedly, you can help to ensure that your message is understood and remembered by your audience.

Of course, You also need to make sure that your message is credible and compelling. This means providing evidence to support your claims, and using persuasive language to make your argument as convincing as possible.

Another important aspect of persuasion in business is understanding your audience. Different people are persuaded by different things, so it's important to tailor your message to the needs and preferences of your audience. This might mean using different images, phrases, or arguments depending on who you're trying to persuade.

By using repetition, images, phrases, and other persuasive techniques, you can increase your chances of success in business and achieve your goals.
