The human ego is a fragile thing to be exploited - people love to be loved, people love to be praised, people love to feel important.

Confidence, it is the trademark of socialites, confidence will open doors for those who have it, closed to those who don't. Confidence lets those who have it approach life with one hand on it's writhing seemingly uncontrollable throat and the other holding a pair of binoculars to see the bright future that lays ahead. Confidence makes you desireable, confidence makes people want to know you.

Flattery is the act of ego stroking, everyone will fall victim to it given the right circumstances - make those circumstances right and you will already be ahead of the pack. Flattery by the confidant is worth 100x the flattery of an outcast, it is flattery by someone who is envied by others, it places the flatteree on a podium and makes them a god...

...a benevolent god who seeks approval of his worshippers, who will go to the ends of the world to keep the image of his holyness to his underlings. It is then, that you can see, that it is the mere peon flatterer that holds the true power through suggestion.

Confidence and flattery, a potent brew for those who can administer it with the skill of a medieval alchemist on an ailing king.

Great read, Magic Man. You're understanding of psychology is amazing. I wish I had the skills you posses in writing and making a subject understandable for even someone like me.

Just that they are alot of work to set up and care for......be careful. But they are worth it. Dan's doctor has one and it is soooo relaxing to sit in his office. Of course, he is a psychologist.....lol.

Momita, don't fall for his keyboard mastery. MM can barely strin 3 words together in real life, but he is a master of plagiarism. He really should put a bibliography at the footnote of all his posts

That is much more like the jibber he speaks in real life! I carry flash cards with me when I see Magic so instead of pointing out things likea fountain or a bird and getting the word wrong, I show his the cards with big, pretty pictures and he learns that way...I like to help
