When you need to make a request of someone who will not be receptive you could trying taking an indirect route to getting a message across. Ask a carefully chosen person to intervene on your behalf. Not only is this effective in getting what you want but this plan also has two positive side effects. First, you flatter the person by placing them in your confidence and making them feel as if they have influence. Second, you have created the illusion that you are not involved in the decision. Thus, you have avoided risk if the request backfires.
Know who your friends are and keep them happy. Share your good fortunes. Don't profit from their losses.
Sometimes we project onto others characteristics that seem to be missing from our loved ones. Thus, we think these people possess attributes that they really don't have.
