The best way to win friends and influence people is to offer them unlimited amounts of hard cash.Also send them expensive food items,good wine and diamond jewellery.If the object of your overtures is a man introduce him to the sort of women he likes.But seriously,the only way you can actually convince someone to do something is by being useful to him/her.Probe his weakness and on finding it work at it.If the guy is good,being polite helps some.Really I am still joking.I firmly and sincerely believe that even the worst of sinners can be won over by goodness.Human beings are essentially good.If they do think seriously that your goodness,your talent can be of use they will be all over you.Even if you do not respond they will probably fear and respect you.In the end sheer niceness,sheer goodwill generally wins the day.Those blessed people who think that being devious can force submission are probably,probably quite off the mark.
