When you want to influence someone to do something, always try to motivate them with an approach that will be based on their needs, wants and personality. Ask yourself, "Why should this person want to do what I want them to do?" Some basic motivations are: a desire to do what is right, duty, approval and status, money, security, excitement, pleasure and fun. By knowing what is important to any individual you will be able to show them how what you want them to do will enable them to get something they want. (The Power of Words by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin) In the merit of this learning may Schneor Zalman ben Chava be blessed with complete health, happiness, and only revealed good.
