Each of us wants to know and be able to as much as possible. It is well known that knowledge and the ability to use them greatly facilitate a person’s life. This publication will be devoted to the analysis of a small psychological trick with which you can influence people. So what is a favor?
A bit of history
There is an effect called the Benjamin Franklin effect. What does it consist of? He is simple and brilliant. Its principle is as follows: it is worth asking a person for a favor, and you can win his trust.
One day, Benjamin Franklin asked for a small favor from one person who did not really like him, to give him a rare book for a while. Having received the desired, he politely thanked. After this incident, they began to communicate and after some time became friends.
It was also noted that the effect of Benjamin Franklin was useful precisely for improving relations between work colleagues. After all, the one who has done you good will one day more willingly help you again. And it will do it faster than the person you once helped yourself.
Your assistant is a dictionary
So, having opened the explanatory dictionary of the Russian language, you can read what a favor is. This is help and service. Briefly and clearly. A completely natural question arises: help and service are related concepts, what is the difference between them? After all, assistance is rendered and accepted easily, and a service or, say, a favor is made to strain and cause resistance from one's own will.
After all, help is also a favor, but the difference is that the person helping you is interested in the success of your enterprise, and your joint work is a reward for both parties. As for the service, we note that in this case the time and labor spent entail a debt on the part of the one who receives this service. This is a kind of deal.
Life examples, or the reverse side of the coin
As they say, in order to consolidate the material we have passed, we give a simple example from our life. So what does this mean - a favor?
You need a certain amount of money to buy a car or repair an apartment. You have half of the amount, and you will take the second part of the money from the bank on credit. You buy a long-awaited car or make stylish repairs in your apartment. You get help from the bank as the missing amount of money, but debt, as you know, should be repaid. Of course, do not forget about the interest rate.
Here on a simple example from our lives you can easily understand what it means to do a favor.
