Flattery That Works 🌟
The information a person receives about themselves impacts their self-perception. 🤔
An experiment was conducted. Participants were seated in front of a computer and asked to fill out a survey. At the end, a bell would ring, and they were told that they were more responsive than the other participants. 🛎️👏
As the participant walked down the corridor to the next room, the experimenter "accidentally" dropped some cards in front of them. In the end, 71% of those labeled as responsive ended up helping pick up the cards. 🃏🤲
A simple compliment can indeed lead to a positive change in behavior! 😊✨

Technique: Personal Expereince 📖
Use personal experience or a well-known case as an argument in a debate, especially to refute statistics. 📈
For example: "What are you telling me about the dangers of smoking? My grandpa smoked two packs a day and lived to be 97." 🚬👴
To counter this technique, it's recommended to point out to your opponent that a single example cannot disprove an entire set of statistics. 📊👩⚖️

👁️🗨️ Clear Perception.
In China, there once lived a Dharma teacher named Master Foin. This teacher had a friend named Su Dongpo (1037–1101 CE) — a poet with a bad reputation due to his rude and nonsensical behavior.
Once, the poet sat down, pretending to be Buddha. He asked the Dharma teacher:
"Who do I resemble?"
"You resemble Buddha," Master Foin replied.
The poet then said:
"Do you know who you resemble? You resemble a pile of excrement!"
The Dharma master remained completely unfazed by this. He continued to smile. The poet, losing his audacity, asked:
"How come you're not angered?"
The monk replied:
"One who has realized the nature of Buddha within oneself sees the same Buddha nature in every person. Similarly, one who is full of excrement sees everyone else as a pile of excrement." 🕊️🙏

🚶♂️Just follow your path.
One of the disciples asked Buddha:
"If someone hits me, what should I do?"
Buddha replied:
"If a dry branch falls from a tree and hits you, what should you do?"
The disciple said:
"Well, what can I do? It's just a simple accident, a mere coincidence that I happened to be under the tree when the branch fell."
Buddha said:
"Then do the same. Someone was foolish, was angry, and hit you. It's like a branch falling from a tree. Let it not disturb you. Just continue on your path as if nothing happened." 🌳🙏

🌟 Every person is someone's solution. 🌍
"Every person on Earth is a solution to someone's problem," my wise grandmother once said.
I was truly amazed by her words.
"You are someone's solution," she reiterated.
And she explained:
"The gift bestowed upon you may not be needed by everyone, but undoubtedly, it is essential to someone – your smile, your love, your strength." 💖🤝

😕 Unhappy People.
A man found himself in heaven. He looked around and saw everyone walking joyfully, happy, open, and friendly. But everything around looked just like in ordinary life. He walked around, enjoyed it, and then said to the archangel:
"Can I see what hell is like? Just a quick glimpse!"
"Alright, let's go, I'll show you."
They arrived in hell. The man looked, and at first glance, everything seemed similar to heaven: the same daily life, but people were all angry and resentful. It was clear they were not doing well there. He asked the archangel:
"Here, it seems everything is the same as in heaven! Why are they all so unhappy?"
"Well, it's because they believe that heaven is better." 😔🔥

How a Tornado Is Born: A Mesmerizing and Dangerous Spectacle 🌪️
A tornado is a powerful whirlwind that connects a storm cloud to the Earth's surface. The process of its formation starts with an unstable atmosphere, suitable temperatures, and humidity. Here's how it usually happens:
🌧️ Formation of a Storm Cloud: Under suitable atmospheric conditions, a storm cloud begins to form (usually of the "cumulonimbus" type).
🌬️ Wind Currents: Within the storm cloud, various wind currents and temperature differences begin to create rotational movement.
🌀 Formation of a Mesocyclone: As a result of the interaction of wind currents, a mesocyclone is formed—a large rotating air mass inside the storm cloud.
👀 "Trunk" or "Funnel": From the mesocyclone region, a narrow air funnel begins to descend towards the Earth's surface. Initially, this may only be visible as a "dangling trunk" from the cloud.
🌪️ Contact with Ground: When the funnel touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. At this time, it is most dangerous as it acquires the ability to cause destruction.
🏚️ Destructive Phase: The tornado brings destruction, lifting and moving objects, including cars, houses, and even large structures.
🕒 Dissipation: After its energy is exhausted or meteorological conditions change, the tornado begins to weaken and eventually disappears.
This entire process can happen very quickly, sometimes within a matter of minutes, making tornadoes one of the most dangerous and unpredictable natural phenomena.

What to see on the weekend? 📺
"Selma" is a dramatic look at the 1965 civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery, led by Martin Luther King Jr. Director Ava DuVernay and actor David Oyelowo (King) skillfully portray the arduous journey toward equality. The film combines historical accuracy with emotional depth, highlighting the complexities and sacrifices behind each step toward progress. "Selma" remains relevant today, touching on issues of racism and social justice. 🇺🇸✊🏾🎥

Manipulation: Ignorance and Silence 🤐
How to react to this manipulation? Don't fall for it. You'll make a mistake if you start giving extra attention to the person, reacting to their silence, or apologizing. 🚫
Your reaction to the silence is the main goal of the manipulator. They want to provoke feelings of guilt, anger, loss of control, etc. in you. 🎯 If they succeed in doing this once, expect the manipulation to occur regularly. 🔄

Discard the Guilt Feeling 😇
Sly manipulators know how to instill a sense of guilt in their victims to squeeze the maximum benefit out of a situation for themselves. Did you hurt someone? Offended another person's feelings? Well, now the "aggrieved victim" will try to milk the situation for all it's worth. 🎭
Analyze the consequences of your actions and address them specifically. Any other tasks for "restoring emotional balance" are simply the audacity of the person trying to capitalize on a favorable moment. 🕵️♀️💡

Manipulating Anger 😡
There are people who lose their temper to force you to give in to them. These are manipulators using what's known as tactical anger.
Antidote: The worst thing to do is to succumb to such a person 👎. If their tactic works, they will continue to act this way towards you and others in the future. Initially, what you need is resolve: you should not give in or allow them to yell at you 😤. If the manipulator continues to shout, walk away 🚶♂️
Maintain this stance in any future confrontations when they get angry 😠
