Do You Have Strong Views?

Do you have strong views? That might seem like a silly question as most of us have strong views on many different topics.

But if you are trying to persuade others to accept your ideas be ready to have tomatoes (not literally of course) thrown  at you in the form of objects, sometimes quite hostile, thrown back at you.

This is bound to happen from time to no matter as there is no way  how pleasant a person or how highly you are respected by other that you will succeed in pleasing everyone all the time.

Still, you can minimize such strong objections in two ways: either through good, reasoned arguments that take into account others ideas or through dramatically rendered stories that prove your point of view through the experiences of yourself or other persons.

Keep a notebook (or recorder ) and take the time once in a while to think about what objections somebody might throw at you  as well as counter- arguments or experiences which help to prove your case.
