Chapter 31 Use induction to change from passive to active

Sometimes when we want the other person to do what we want him to do, the other person is not willing to do it.If you go straight to the point, you will only "can't eat hot tofu in a hurry".But if you change the way, first grasp the psychological characteristics of the other party, use the method of induction, let the other party take the initiative to do what you want him to do, and you may indirectly achieve your goal.This is "mind control". There is such a story in ancient Arabia.A man named Hassan lent 2,000 gold coins to a merchant, but he accidentally lost the IOU the next day and couldn't find it anywhere, which made him sweat profusely.His wife kept complaining about him.Hassan hurried to find his best friend Nasreddin and asked him for an idea.

"If the merchant knew that I lost the IOU, he wouldn't have given me the money back. By God, it was 2,000 gold coins!" Hassan said to Nasreddin. Evidence of the loan." "Is there no third person who knows when a businessman borrows money?" Nasreddin asked. "Only my wife knew, but I only told her after the businessman borrowed the money." "That is to say, you cast the net when the fish ran away." Nasreddin said, "How long is the term for the merchant to borrow money?" "The time is one year." Nasreddin pondered for a moment, and came up with an idea for Hassan: "You can ask the businessman for a proof of borrowing money."

"What? Ask the borrower for proof of the loan?" Hassan was puzzled and found it ridiculous. "Yes, that's the only way." Nasreddin said, "You immediately write a letter to the merchant, requesting to return the 2,500 gold coins you lent him as soon as possible." "2,500 gold coins? I only lent him 2,000 gold coins." "If you write to ask for 2,500 gold coins, he will definitely reply immediately, explaining that he only owes you 2,000 gold coins. In this way, don't you have evidence?" As soon as Hassan heard it made sense, he wrote a letter, explaining why the loan was urgently urged.Sure enough, in less than ten days, the businessman replied with a personal letter, which said: "...you have a special situation and asked me if I could repay the loan in advance. I can't do what you asked. Because we The agreed period of the loan was one year, and I arranged my business according to the date of the loan. As for the amount borrowed, you must be mistaken! I only borrowed 2,000 gold coins, not 2,500 gold coins, you have me Evidence written by yourself. Did you get someone else’s loan to me? By Allah, I borrowed 2,000 gold coins, not 2,500 gold coins..."

Hasan read the letter and happily went to thank Nasreddin. If Hassan in the story explained the situation directly to the businessman, unless the businessman was of high moral character, he would probably not recognize the loan, and would only be secretly happy in his heart because he would no longer have to repay the loan. The direct approach certainly won't work.And his friend Nasreddin must be a person who is proficient in psycho-control techniques, and he gave him an idea, which is to set up a trap for the businessman, let him dig into it himself, and write down the amount of the loan on his own initiative.In this way, Hassan has a new IOU.

Mental control is also called "mind control", and it was also called "soul control" in ancient times. It is a technique to control people's psychology, behavior, and consciousness.In ancient times, mind control (spirituality) was often combined with religion, divination, authority and medicine. In modern high-tech society, mind control is generally called "hypnotism".Mind control is also often used in psychotherapy. Psychological control includes self-control and others' control (or control over others), both self-control and other-control are realized through the transmission of certain psychological information.The most common way to transmit psychological information is language, and of course there are some non-verbal ways, such as expressions, actions, and public opinion.

Psycho-Cybernetics has a wide range of applications, and everyone encounters some situation of mind-control or "mind-control" in their daily life.Selling goods, TV commercials, political elections, doing business, negotiating business, winning the trust of others, deceiving people, and confusing people are all psycho-control techniques. What we need to beware of is the use of psychological control to commit fraud.This requires us to maintain a sober state and to have a wealth of knowledge.Because the higher the knowledge and cultural quality, the better at holding a critical attitude towards various things.For example, in ancient villages and tribes, wizards' mind-stimulating techniques were the most popular, but in the eyes of people with certain cultural literacy in modern society, it seems very ridiculous.In addition, we need to improve our self-confidence and maintain independent thinking and judgment in order to get rid of the control of others.
