A living example of "influence" (reproduced)

I was cheated by the monk in Suzhou, the monk must be familiar with "influence"

First of all, I have to explain that I am not a gullible person. China Mobile often calls me to say that there is no free activity, I have all refused. I never give money when I meet beggars in the street. There was a way to be smart: Two girls in fashionable fashion stood by the roadside and stopped me, and when they said the first words, I left. They said, "We are from Xinjiang ...". Another time, a middle-aged couple also called me, I stopped, they say "little brother, we from Shandong ...", I went away. Because I immediately think of these two people in other places also called me once. (I beg you, to cheat also not old in a place, strange familiar ...) ）

In addition, there are many similar experiences. I am not saying that every time I meet is a liar, I just want to say that I am a cautious, do not love greedy petty people. But in 08, I was cheated, the number is not too, but the monk's deception convinced me, unable to escape. After reading "Influence", I found a theoretical basis for the monk.

In October 08, I went to Shanghai with two classmates from Changsha, and then went to Suzhou to play. One of the sights is the temple of the Nation * (it should be), there is a wishing church in the temple (it should be called this name). Before we went in, the tour guide told us that the place was voluntary and donated money in a voluntary manner. I didn't care about it at first, and I took a look at what kind of mentality it was inside. As soon as he entered, a monk told everyone to keep quiet and serious, because this is the place where the monks chant every day. I had a few jokes with my classmates and listened to it and got serious. The monk began to tell you the right way to kneel, and then more than 30 of visitors knelt down with their hands folded. Monk began to talk about the life of the sermon, in that environment, I listen to a sentence like the Buddha directly to me, his mother is too reasonable. The monk also gave us all the holy water and other things, said this thing can bring you good luck and happiness.
(* Note: should be the Temple of gratitude)

Then, he said, today, if Buddha thinks some of you are destined for Buddha, I will leave you alone. If it is specially destined, we will receive you from the abbot. (This is not the "influence" in the "lack of" it!) What's the difference between this and the limited limit in the mall? I was excited, thought not to choose me, I should not be with the Buddha destined for the person, if I, my life will be the prosperous. Sure enough, I, my two classmates, and a man of our age are left, and a few middle-aged men were taken to see the abbot. I was very happy at that time-Lao Tzu and Buddha predestined! At this time, the monk began to speak: You are young, to strive to create their own business. But in the effort, luck is also very important, as the saying goes *￥#% .... Then he sent each of us an abbot who had metal sign the light! (Note that he's starting to send something!) He used the "principle of reciprocity"! And he said, Buddha does not seek return, as long as we in the desire to achieve, in the direction of the temple to burn three pillars incense on the line. At this time, all my doubts have been dispelled-it seems that the monk is sincere, he does not ask for return! I felt that this man was the mentor of my life! That's a lot of sense! After giving us the golden symbol, he spoke for a few more minutes, and I thought to myself that I should keep in mind every word of our mentor, and felt a special adoration for him.

Near to go, he suddenly said, I hope that a few of us to donate some money to the temple, 20,30,50 can, money is not much, to the Buddha's respect, the Temple monks live on this. (He said 20 30 50 can, so the lowest 20, we can not give a two dollars to send) more exasperating is, he said if not donate, we will leave metal sign. (We know from "influence" that losing is more of a shock to the mind) at this time, my stomach told me that we had been fooled, and that it was all about taking money out of our hands. I wanted to go, but I've liked him before--he's like my life mentor ("likes"). I took his stuff and didn't want to put it down-I had a sense of indebtedness and wanted to repay to balance (the "reciprocity principle"). I believed all his words before and thought he was a good man, and I didn't want to admit that I was wrong ("devotion and consistency").

Then I asked the classmate next to me: "How much do you give?" "(God, please note, I'm not saying" you don't give "!) ）。 He said, 20. Then we (connected to the young man of our age) gave 20 together. ("Social identity" in "influence"!) ）

After we went out, we began to dozens ...

This time, I really know what is called a snare, a ring. You know you're trapped, but (as the book says) click, beep ~ made a decision to be affected! It's horrible. I have been annoyed that I was not as sane and sober as I had imagined in this matter, until I saw "influence", and I found the power of "Why you say ' yes '". Though invisible, this power is big enough to play you in the palm of your hand. "Influence" trains us to see the tricks of the world more clearly. Of course, the book also tells some people how to play tricks.

The world is a game.
