line between inspiring and influencing

Ok if you've been reading my blog which I doubt that there will be anyone else besides me....
You will see that I pretty much have 2 types of entry.

1. Settled entry
2. Non-settled one

This is one of the non-settled one. I just write for the sake of finding the answer. So here we go!

It seems like inspiring is just a positive word for influencing.
How can you create exposure without framing people's mind?
I doubt that there's a way going around doing that.

You might argue that one can give suggestion without adding personal opinion or assigning personal value.
I would say....
That is hard because people enjoy talking about something they like and through their thinking process they already think through that it is the best decision. We have limited time to communicate. Therefore, we tend to filter information when we communicate with others. Yet this depends on a goal of communication.

Furthermore, you can influence by not only adding within your message but also the structure of the information. You can limit what kind of information you would like to give.
And as I said before "No one could know what's best for others".

It is hard for us to understand ourselves to justify our choice. Even worse we can't even make choice sometimes.
How on earth we would know what's best for others?
Our best choice comes from OUR best/worst experience we had in the past, OUR relationship, OUR behavior, etc.

On the other had, without taking any advice we waste our time doing the same mistakes that might occurred....or not maybe not occurred who knows.
It's about taking chance, isn't it?

But screw that we don't want to get into that.
We're trying to find a line between inspiring and influencing.
How can you inspiring without influencing?

Or maybe you can't?
maybe it depends on the individual not to be so sensitive about things.
Not to get influence...

Violence

Violence can be done so many ways.

Yet today I want to express my opinion in verbal/mental violence not physical.
I'm not such an expert in that.

But after taking
Sales & persuasion/ Argumetative writing and reasoning/ and public speaking
I pretty much know or at least understand the mentality of influencing

What gives a person a right to influence others.
Right now I see none....

If different human values different things. They are from different background.
To persuade someone to believe that your point or argument is better or the ONE should be hold, is a total violence.

But it's the world of influencing,isn't it?
And the one who hunts for power tries to influence their prey.

It's not about the ends. It is about the means. That's wrong.

What's wrong with failure?

It is quite true that a person learns better through their failure.

At least that is what i hold.

But why people/i still scare of failing?

1. I rarely fail. Therefore naturally it's scary to go through something not normally occured.
2. Failing = losing and losing sucks
3. There's not that many opportunities for you to screw up.
4. It's a chance to be run over. You missed a chance. You won't catch up with others.

There are probably tons of reasons why people/i are scared.

But i guess it's not a jusifiable excuse for doing nothing.
For not taking risk...
For not moving on...to something new
some new things

I guess it's not.

Or else humanity probably goes nowhere.

Educated

The more you grow. The more you think.

The more you think. The more you learn.

The more you learn. The more you realize.

The more you realize. The more you see the constraint.

The more you see the constraint. The less you learn.

The less you learn. The less you think.

But the less you think doesn't make you younger,does it.

It just makes you an old person who doesn't have any imaginary left.

What's in its place is REALITY

Driver or Driven

It's a bless to have a drive in you.

It's great to have energy within you all the time.

A drive can make people go only so far.

Sometimes it's too far that make the person knows that he/she is driven with the full speed but no one is behind the steering wheel.

What happen when you drive fast without direction?

It's a never end competition.
It's a light speed tunnel.
And by its nature,you know it doesn't have ending point.

It's a bless to have a drive in you.
But I think people pray that they know the reason of being.

It's great to have energy within you all the time.
But it's better to have a goal as your guide.

A drive can make people go only so far.
But it's not that far when you know you're going to the wrong direction.

no one is not none.

Current mood: blessed
I'm still trying to figure out what's so great about this country.

Is it because everything is so new to me?
Is it because the people who appear to be so friendly and helpful?
Is it because their American system?
Or is it because it's the land of opportunity for real?

Why life is so enjoyable here?

4 months ago, I kept banging my head against the wall, asking myself, why the hell I'm doing this?

Why give up being someone to be no one?

And I thought all the things I carried with me all the time...
All the things I fight for was so great...
And I thought I should never give those things up...for something I don't know.

I thought being SOMEONE is the most important thing in life.
Being recognized by friends,family, and others
I carried that egoism with me all the time.

And I thought that was greatest thing.
Saddest thing, I thought that's what life is all about.

Well now I know that it's not.

This might not be final answer for "why life is so great here?"
But for now I think it's great because I'm being no one.
I do whatever I want...
No worries...

I'm here for finding who I am...before I lose my identity.
Well I'm on the way there...
