HOW TO INFLUENCE PEOPLE
Public sentiment is like a field of reeds. You never know how it will change when the wind blows. Therefore always use your steady wisdom when dealing with people, make sure the people's hearts do not sway and hold them firm. In so doing, though they have developed or may develop other thoughts against you, they wouldn't be able to abandon you. Their hearts will always be yours even if their minds are against you.
The art of influencing people have no regard or probably no affiliation to mystic things. Understanding the emotions of people, their own ideologies will give you a better understanding of the their hearts, so in your quest to influence people you could be subtle yet cunning in a sense that, you do not appear as one who wants to have influence on them but then by understanding their emotions and their point of views, you gain an upper hand over them of which you can use to gain their trust and in attaining their trust, you have their hearts as well.. This is how influence begins or proceeds.
