Mind: Persuasion 4

Persuasion --> Influence --> Attention (interests)

Why justification on failures is imperative?

FEAR!

Yes. Fear is the root. It is the ultimate consequence. And, as a teacher, we don't want our students to fear of failures.

But, again it is not about being scared of something. Here we are focusing on how to influence our students by prevailing them with authentic and time saving suggestions. Their attention is what matter the most for us now.

So, how are we going to utilize this realm?

Allay their FEARS!

No, it is not to TELL them to not to be afraid!

We simply BE there for them until their fear subsides. We present evidence. We offer support.

Tell them stories. And, again we are not telling them how to feel and expect them to feel that way...

Ask ourselves this such a realization...

When we are afraid, which type of person do we prefer to be with?

Mind: Persuasion 3

Persuasion --> Influence --> Attention (Interest)

Persuading is not an easy and simple task!

From a nobody to any somebody, when it comes to convincing others for any reasons...

the requirements and outcomes that maybe somehow in anyway will be a sacrifice.

Thus, precautions in any attempt of debating, applying and manipulating persuasion knowhow is a must. If one could not find what exactly what is this means thats good. In turn, those who can see what this means will notice how imperatively the precaution mentioned.

This is really true when we know that anyone would do almost anything to people that could justify his or her failures!

The moment we know how to justify failures of our students, trust me, thats the time we will get our students' PAYMENT!

Remember, it is not about why they failed in previous exams, why they are a slow learners, why they are unhappy with our school, unhappy with their parents, unhappy with us?, unhappy with their friends, why they are simply "I m just a crap!", and among other failures that we know of as negative impression.

It is about influencing them!

Failures are experiences. Everybody experiences it, whatever it is just a matter of letting it in and stay or just let it go...

Influencing them means justification of those negative emotions upon some other imbalances or misplaces or changes or process of attaining equilibrium state or... whatever it should be, simply tell them it is not their FAULTS!

And, yes, it is nobody's FAULTS!

All of the failures in exams before maybe due to chemical imbalances in their bodies. And, it could probably due to wrongly dietary consumed.

Here's a short story.

"I am a dumb!", Ani sounds very much so down.

"Well, yea I can see part of it. :)", Teacher Atie replied.

"And, It it is not your fault. You Know that!", Teacher Atie just attempted the prevailing.

Ani starring at Teacher Atie for some time. Wondering? Confused? What do you think?

"Maybe the weather was just not so friendly at that time. You just could not focus completely in that such a unfriendly weather...", Teacher Atie continued.

What will be Ani's response?

If still starring and quiet, ahhh... Teacher Atie just in a few seconds have got influencing Ani, one of her grade four students.

If Ani reacting uncomfortably, then Teacher Atie should try with other emotionally imbalance explanations particularly due to unhealthy food consumed or some genetic codes misplacement. It is just simply not her fault at all.

What will happen to Ani next? Guess?

Ask Teacher Atie what happen to Ani, only she knows... :)

End of story.

To be continued...

Its not my fault...the beach is just not clean enough for me :)

Mind: Persuasion 1

Remember when I said about we, teachers, are not that persuasive enough in enticing our students' interest for learning. Consequently, they refuse to 'pay' us any penny of their attention!

Is persuasion really the matter?

I say it's ultimate goal really is the matter!

Our students would be willingly and happily paying their attention for what ever offerings that we make since they really have been INFLUENCED by the 'beauty' or 'temptation' exists or at least shown to be existed in the offerings (subjects). And, thats connections actually linearly correlated with themselves.

See the catch... Persuasion is nothing but influencing!

So, instead of saying persuade your students, I would rather say please do influence students to 'buy' our products (for their own sake)...please.

Persuasion --> Influence --> PAYMENT!

Allah s.w.t jua yang Maha Mengetahui segalanya.

Mind: Teachers and "PAY ATTENTION" !

As it shows. The title already explains itself.

For most teachers, getting attention and interest of the students would be a great challenge. Yet, it is still considered as normal? Well I agree in a sense that being a teacher surely that challenge is the main ingredient in education ethos itself.

Beautifully, I would suggest a different perspective. The students simply do not attracted enough to 'buy' stuffs we are offering!

And, why is that?

Well, I think it is quite similar when we ask why people buy certain products and why other products they don't?

Is there anything wrong with the teachers? The school infrastructures? PPD? or the educational system as a whole! Wow...wow... I am not going into that extreme here ok. Even though it is indeed already an issue.

As I said, and in addition to that, thats not teachers faults, nor the others. It is simply the students do not attracted enough to 'buy' stuffs (subjects taught) we are offering. Or at least they are not yet ready to willingly 'buy' anything at the moment. Nobody's faults involves! Thats the nature...

I believe we just have to understand this natural custom and act accordingly to achieve our formal and informal educational missions and vision.

One might ask if thats the case, then what is exactly happening by the time a teacher is in the class with fully equipped, motivationally driven, giving all sorts of materials needed, even the class is neatly designed, in short, " I have done everything...!", and yet the students refuse to even 'paying' a 'penny' of their attention or interest!

Thats painful! Frustrating!

I know, trust me I do. I am a teacher for almost a decade now. I know exactly what that kind of feeling is...

So, what exactly is happening?

My dear, we were actually had done the right things. I mean our engagement with all of the advance equipments, super duper teaching techniques, materially and morally supports from all others...

We are doing the right thing and with the right way...

We are just not that PERSUASIVE enough!

The answer...

Mind: Teachers, Lets sell this! 2

Oration skills for teachers never been easy. Here is the best part, there is a simple way for training. No one taught me this. Nor referring to any scientific proven suggestions. I had just been stumbling with it.

An EASY and EASE training.

A FREE training.

A SAFE training.

A LIGHT SPEED training.

A PROVEN training.

ADVERTISEMENT!

Please do not laugh at me, ok. And, yes. You heard me. It is advertisement training.

Well, of course its a kind of revolution to us here in Sabah. I don't really sure with you guys out there, somewhere...

You just have to do SEEING, LISTENING and READING advertisements for about half an hour a day. Thats it.

I have tested this training, ok. And, amazingly my way of structuring words by words and connecting to a lot of meanings... you know.. Its just amazing!

Alhamdulillah, 30 minutes a day implementing this mind training with just seeing, reading and/or listening to advertisements had just amazingly enrich my way of communicating things.

"PowerSwitchWord" immerge in my mind instantaneously!

Positivity immerse just as easy as I hope for in my consciousness.

And, this is just after 30 days of intensive training. I am wondering people with this kind of training as part of their routine life? Simply, superb!

Do all ads provide effects that we want? How exactly it will guaranty safety of thinking alignment? And,... there will be infinite questions could be raised.

See...

That is why I am putting at the very beginning all of the restrictions. Things that would make it impossible to do. A lot of conditions. Such a thing just does not exist! Guess what?

It exist! For real..

And, I have proved it by myself. Well at least I can say it even though I am actually does not have the authority in the related field. Basically, I had also that kind of sceptic at the beginning. Its normal, I know. Alhamdulillah, God's bestowing me with solid confidence. Amazing happenings come to me easily!

Allah s.w.t jua yang Maha Mengetahui segalanya.

Real school is in out there...

Mind: Teachers, Lets sell this!

Selling tangible goods synonymously for traders. No doubt. But now lets do a revolution to the word!

Selling also means anything involving offering and buying... As simple as that.

Teacher 'sell' Mathematics knowledge to students and they 'pay' (buy) with attention. Now, it is just make a sense when we say,

" Pay attention! "

to our students. Ironically, most of the time they never willing to PAY...:)

We should be changing the perception wisely. Training for improvement and enrichment in the marketing related fields are countless. But, specifically for marketing skills in teaching Bahasa Malaysia for primary schools? I doubt. Tell me if there is any...

Our main objective here is to gain the interest of the students. Interest here is the payment.

Perceiving it that way of course would change the way teachers' approach for specific subject and students. I believe whenever we start to practice the way marketers sell their products, and mold wisely the skills to suit our client requirements, we will succeed! Our school will excel!

I have been testing this approach (for Math subject). And, trust me it works. Around just for a few days  the students will be chasing you for more information, more assignments??? (astonishingly!), and asking you to replace other classes with your class...

Just feel the sparking ok..

The motivation portrayed by your student... you will tears!

And, of course, the new YOU... as you start to love being a TEACHER!

Allah s.w.t jua yang Maha Mengetahui segalanya.

The winning is emerging... Grab it quick!
