Baboons sometimes steal puppies. They feed and tame them. The dogs then grow up, become the protectors of the pack, and often guard the little baboons.

The Chinese invasion of Vietnam (1979)

After WW2, the French fought the Vietnamese (1946-1955), Vietnam was then invaded by the USA (1955-1975). Lastly in 1979 Communist China invaded Vietnam. By then the Vietnamese had 3 decades of war experience. China was numerically the strongest army in the world with over 4.3 million soldiers - Vietnam had a strength of 700,000 men. The Chinese advanced aiming to capture the Vietnamese capital - but on entering Vietnam, the first Chinese wave was stopped in a depth of about 5-10km. Heavy losses from mines, artillery barrage and counterattacks from only the Vietnamese border forces, ended China's ambitions. Stasi (BStU) Records (1979) mention, "one can assess the Vietnamese People’s Army is superior vis-a-vis the Chinese aggressor units in combat experience and in equipment with modern fighting technology," the reason for victory partly attributed to "the superior tactical brilliance by the commander pool of the armed forces of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam."

How to influence your audience?

🔘 CREATE URGENCY.

You have to create urgency to ensure that the person makes the decision you want right away.
If the person isn't motivated to do it now, they probably won't be motivated to do it later.

Urgency is the strongest ally.

Convince him that time is extremely short, and your proposal is a great one, so it has to be decided now.
