Once I read an article about " Friends and Best Friends " by Myra Gormley. She said that there are different types of friends. Our true friends we can count the number of on the fingers of one hand. Other friends are like our coallegues in school or work, our neighbours and our acquaintances. In my point of view, each type needs particular diplomacy to win and influence them.
If you're considering to win true friends, you have to understand their characters and behaviuors. Your true and best friend is nothing more than a mirror you can see yourself at. About the second type, they become our friends directly. You find yourself usually in touch with them and with time they become friends although your relationship with them isn't too deep. If you want to win them, try to understand their outstanding conducts. It isn't necessary to overlap your behaviour. Try to talk with others about what they like and select relevant and exciting subjects to talk about. Don't forget to respect them, respect their opinions, be a good listener and smile. Make them feel they're important for you.
Last but not least, it also depends on yourself if you can influence people or not. Winning friends and influencing people is an art. You can't live without contact with people st you have to (...unfinished! EB)
Interesting image that you have! I totally agree with your opinion. If we know what people like or dislike, we'll know how to influence them. Unfortunately, you didn't finish it. I want to know the last words because I believe it's the most important part :) .
