Somehow she can make you do the things that you don't want to do. All you can do is, just sit alone and keep wondering how she made you perform something in which you see no value, no interest. Whether it is your mother or your wife or your girl friend or your daughter, they seem to know the trick. You may not find any persuading technique that doesn't have its root in their way of making things happening. I might be wrong in this observation but I am very sure on the other thing - that is, it is never an easy job to convince someone to do something.
At times, multiple sources can create an image which itself could persuade you to do something. For example, you hear few random people talking about a movie in a coffee shop. You hear the same movie mentioned by your colleagues in their conversation. You check the movie review and possibly watch the trailer of the movie. And now when you get a chance to watch a movie, you might go for this movie which no one actually suggested. There is enough chance that this could disappoint you too since you are persuaded by parts and not the whole.
You pick things easily from the people who you admire a lot. This could be your friends, elders at home, good leaders from the past and now. I mean, you get convinced without much pondering over it and try to do things that they do or they tell you to do. Like doing exercise, visiting places, eating vegetarian food, etc. Usually, I select the books I read this way. If few people who I admire mention about the book, especially repeatedly, I may prefer reading it. Of course, one of the hardest things could be making someone to read books who got natural aversion to books. No matter how good the book is, it is not going to be of any help.
I was reading one of Sheldon B.Kopp's books and found a reference to "Walden; Or, Life in the Woods" and started reading it. Maybe just the momentary spark that let me decide to read it without any real conviction. Answer to 'who/what persuaded me to read Walden?' could be meaningless.
