What do the world's greatest leaders know about the power of persuasion that you don't?

THREAD: How you can unlock the ability to change anyone's mind.

Let's get smarter... 👇🏻

1/ As far back as the mid 300's BC, humans were fascinated by the power of persuasion.

In light of this, Aristotle developed what is known as the "Rhetorical Triangle."

A framework for persuading any audience using 3 simple appeals:

•Ethos
•Pathos
•Logos

Let's dig in...

2/ Ethos (Ethics / Character)

The first of the 3 appeals, Ethos speaks to the perceived character of the speaker.

In order to persuade anyone to do anything, they must first believe you are a credible and trustworthy source.

How do you accomplish this?

3/ Establishing Ethos: (1)

•Language: Choose verbiage that is fitting to the subject matter and audience you are trying to persuade.

•Pedigree: Do you have specific credentials or education relating to the topic being covered? If so, make it known.

👇🏻

4/ Establishing Ethos: (2)

•Rapport: Your audience must feel as though you are "in sync."

You understand and can relate to their feelings or ideas.

TL;DR

•Choose the right language
•Communicate pedigree
•Build Rapport

Trust becomes a byproduct.

Let's see an example 👇🏻

Here are 10 Things you didn't know your Mac could do (until now) 💻

Hot Corners:

Launch various actions within your computer simply by moving your mouse to one corner of the screen or another.

• System Preferences
• Mission Control
• Hot Corners
• Select the action to launch

Specific Screenshots:

SHIFT+CMD+3 will capture your entire screen.

Did you know you can also narrow your capture to a specific portion?

It's easy, & now that I know it exists, I use it every day.

Digital Signatures:

Have a PDF you need to sign?

Let's skip all the printing, physical signing, scanning, etc.

Using the "preview" app you can easily create a digital signature.

All you need is a pen, a white piece of paper, & your Mac's

File Stacks:

I'm a bit OCD when it comes to my desktop.

I like to keep things very organized and can't stand to have a bunch of different files scattered across the screen.

• Right Click
• Use Stacks
• Files are now "stacked" by type

Click a group to see the files within.

The 5-step system I use to automate my brain and never forget anything: 🧠

It's well documented that the amount of information we're bombarded with these days is unprecedented.

• Keeping track of it
• Capturing Ideas as they come
• Allowing yourself space to distill it later

None of this happens without a plan.

Here's how to get started:

We'll use a simple set of (3) software platforms to:

• Quickly Capture ideas as they come
– Google Tasks

• Automate sending them to a database
– Zapier

• Organize and categorize for action later
– Notion

All Free.

First things first.

You'll need to set up an account (if you don't have one already) with each of the platforms listed above.

Don't worry––for what we're going to build, the free plans for each should work just fine.

•Google
•Notion
•Zapier

OK, let's start building

1st––Google Tasks

• In your Gmail inbox, it's in the right-side panel

• Or download the app for quick access on your phone.

This is where I capture ideas "on the fly"

No structure, no organization, we'll worry about that later.

Just capture ideas!

Starting my 2nd thread on Sringeri Parampara. This will cover the Jagadgurus after Sri Vidyaranya to Sri Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati.

It is really very tough to match the brilliance and achievements of Vidyaranya. After whom came 15 - Chandrashekara Bharati [1386-1389].

The next Acharya was Nrisimha Bharati [1389-1408]. Harihara raya found a town for this Acharya - Narasimhapuram. Acharya helped the king by guiding him in political affairs. He also initiated the kind with mahamantras for spiritual development.

Subsequent Acharyas were
15-Puroshottama Bharati [1408 - 1448]
16-Shankara Bharati[1448 - 1455]
17-Chandrasekhara Bharati II [1455 - 1464]
18- Nrisimha Bharati II [1464 - 1479]
19-Puroshottama Bharati II [1479 - 1517]

20-Ramachandra Bharati [1517 - 1560]. Sadashiva Raya was emporer of Vijayanagara during this time.
21-Nrisimha Bharati III [1560 - 1573]
22-Nrisimha Bharati IV [1573 - 1576]
23-Nrisimha Bharati V [1576 - 1600]

24-Abhinava Nrisimha Bharati [1600-1623]. When he visited Malahanikareswara temple for first time he noticed there was no Vinayaka there so he took piece of turmeric and drew outline of Ganesha on a pillar and offered puja.

Mangottu Bhagavathi Temple
#Palakkad #Kerala
#keralatemples 🚩

Mangottu Bhagavathi Temple is situated in Athipotta near Alathur of palakkad district. Devi is kshipraprasadi here and grants relief to those who worship with full faith.
Mookken Chathen, situated on the Northern 👇

side of the temple, is guarding Devi here.
Story says that, once there lived a weaver named Kuttan who was a Devi Bhaktan. During one festival time Kuttan was so pleased by the Devi Vigraham that he requested her to come along with him. At that time wind blew heavily and Cloths

in Vigraham flew. Kuttan immediately decorated Devi with his cloth which stuck to Vigraham and returned to his village and with his Umbrella. Devi came with him in that Umbrella and stayed in his place. This place is Mangottu Bhagavathi temple now.
