I Win.
I love it when I have a great idea that no one wants to listen to. Rather than convince someone that my idea is better, I usually try to let that person come to the same conclusion on their own. I slyly lead the victim down a winding logical progression, typically the same route I took. And here's where I seal the deal: bring up a few concerns I have against the new idea. The person will almost always defend their "new idea". I can rest knowing the best strategy was used to solve the problem. I Win.

Hehe! so sly! I find myself doing this sometimes :-) I love your pictures by the way!
ReplyDeleteSuch an art this is - so glad you silently win!
ReplyDeleteFun blog and photos!
for the life of me I can't understand why so many are resistant to new ideas. I'm glad to hear that you are having success with your approach, just realize that you can't possibly know best about everything and you will really be onto something. For many the most difficult part of listening is getting our own preconceptions out of the way.
