What is your best personal strategy to convince people!!?

Answer 1

Reason with strong evidence (Analytical or Anecdotal, as needed), Courtesy both in acknowledging opposing positions and speech itself, Admitting weaknesses, but Offering possible solutions, and a clear Passion for what I am arguing.

Also, you need to persistance to exhaust your opposition's arguments.

Answer 2

Mostly I find that when people are hell bent on doing something stupid- there is nothing I can say or do to stop them.

Leading by example is better than lectures. It gives people the opportunity to see what works.

Sometimes a really loud yelling, or scaring the crap out of someone may do the trick but, it's usually only temporary because the desire for those who want to remain stupid is very strong.

Answer 3

Giving people options and not having an investment in the outcome. You can't convince anyone of anything without their permission.
