Šito man vienkārši vajag piefiksēt turpmākai zināšanai un atgādnei ;). Labākie:
1.Any reason will do Did you know that people who use the word because when making a request dramatically increase their chances of getting the favor?
Social psychologist Ellen Langer performed an experiment in which she asked to cut in line to use a copy machine. She tested three different ways of asking, and recorded the results:
Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine?
60% said OK.
Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I'm in a rush?
94% said OK.
Using because I'm in a rush yielded a huge approval boost. Even more impressive was the next trial:
Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I have to make some copies?
93% said OK.
2. People who have education, money or popularity must be credible
4. You'd be happier if you were living a life of leisure
The truth is that a lack of things to do most leads to boredom and depression. Humans are industrious and creative by nature. We need challenge and accomplishment. We need to be passionately engaged in something purposeful. Leisure is important, but only in the context of a productive life.
6. You'd be happier if you had more money, recognition or fame
Actually, you'd are more likely to be less happy and sicker. A study by three University of Rochester researchers showed that reaching materialistic and image oriented goals actually fosters ill-being. 7.Someday... It may be comforting to believe you will become healthier and wealthier just because time is passing and it is nice to be optimistic.
