Usage of solar panels---Tom Liu Entry #2

"Were you successful in convincing people to make a change in their lives in regards to your project? Why do you think they did or did not agree to make a change? What did you learn about what it takes to persuade people to make a change in their lifestyle and how can you more effectively convince people to make a change if you were to do this again?"


              Overall, I was not successful.My parents disagreed because they said it was way to expensive. I told them it will pay off after eight years, but they said NO. They said eight years was way too long. Plus, they said they said they didn't have the time or extra money to do so. I learned that it is very hard to persuade people, and you have to have ideas that others cannot argue against. It takes a long time to change how you live, and in order to really persuade people, always let them know the PROs, not the CONs. In order to persuade people more efficently, you need to have a better persuading prop and PRACTICE. Practice, practice, and practice. Practice makes Perfect.
