Socrates , " The Gadfly Of Athens " , was one of the greatest philosophers the world has witnessed . 24 Centuries after his death the world still remembers him as a most honored persuaders who ever influenced this wrangling world

His secret of persuading people now called as " Socratic method " , was based upon getting 'yes , yes ' response .He asked gentle and subtle questions the his opponents has to agree . He knew on winning admission after another until he had an armful of yeses. He kept on until they themselves has convinced towards what they have bitterly denying few minutes before

The next moment you're tempted to tell he or she is wrong , Let's remember old Socrates method of subtleness and ask an gentle question , a question that will definitely yield the ' yes , yes ' response. The Chinese have a proverb which perfectly apt ' He who treads softly goes far '

Develop success from failure. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
