Reverse Psychology at Work

There was a group of school boys that making rustling sounds with their sticks on the metallic gate of a house as they pass by while returning home from school. The owner of the house was a 80 years Judge who had retired from court.

Old man was greatly disturbed by the noise made by these little ones especially when he was trying to catch some afternoon sleep.

These disturbances kept happening on a daily basis until the old man grew frustrated and he just had to come up with a plan.

One day, he called the children as soon as he saw them approaching from the balcony.

"Hey kids, I really Lethe noise you make everyday on my gate on your way back from school. Here's the deal. If you continue to make such lovely sounds, I would be paying you two dollars per day if you keep it up.

Boys were very excited at this proposition. So the old man started paying the kids two dollars every day for making a noise at his gate.

In the second week, he called the children again and explained to them that he was short of money. So instead of two dollars, he would only pay them one dollar. The children still agreed and continued the disturbances at the gate.

At the end if the third week, the old man revealed that he had no more money to pay them. So he wouldn't be able to continue to pay them even though they keep striking at the gates.

Well the chili weren't happy to hear this and they said " if you don't pay us, we would stop making a noise! "

And they never hit on the gate again.

This story further opens our minds on how we could handle people in various ways rather than resorting to violence. It had been proven that the psychological approach helps strengthen the communication between individuals rather than dispute and screaming. It also helps to improve your mentality about life and understand people and things a way that most people wouldn't understand.

This story shows us how to apply manipulation for a good change.

It also discribes how the power of money influences human behavior. Someone might just decide to keep adding value out of leisure but as but might later start doing it for reward. And if the rewards stops coming, they abandon it. Personally, I have missed some talented writers on this platform who had stopped writing when the reward per article started to drop.

The story also teaches us not to mess with the elderly as they would always beat you by experience 😆😆. They are have seen it all in life, so they are way wiser. Most of them even wish they could turn back the hands of time and start all over again.
