Relationships are like a book, in that they are for learning.
Learn to trust and be trustworthy. When you treat someone as if they are being dishonest, you will train them to be. It's more powerful to treat someone as if they are being honest, and you will train them to now be honest, even if they weren't then.
More is learned in pain than in pleasure.
Laughter is a release of tension. When influencing, make the other person laugh; you'll gain rapport instantly.
