At times, when you don't get or like something that you want, you try to convince someone that what you want is correct, or should be the right way. Also, it kinda depends on the situation or the circumstances upon which you are arguing or trying to convince someone. Most of the time, I am trying to convince my parents to let them do what I want, whether they actually want me to do it or not. Usually, I am wanting to hang out with friends, or go somewhere and I have to try to convince them that yes, my room is clean enough, and I will be home before curfew, and will not do anything stupid. Most of the times, I am able to convince them to let me do whatever it is that I want to do. However, trying to convince my brothers is much more difficult, as they often do not want to listen to their big sister or do what I say. Although that is really more of me asking them to do something instead of trying to convince them, per se.
As for me, I am not the greatest person to try and convince people, which is why I am most definitely not going to be a lawyer for my career, because when it comes to convincing people, I am not good at it, at all. I mean, if the issue is something that I seriously feel strongly about, then I will try and convince someone, but more times than not, it does not really work and I am not able to get them to get on my side. But then again, it is not like I am arguing serious issues right now and so my opinion will not be affecting many people. When I get older, though, I will have to be able to persuade people about issues that I feel strongly for or against. So, that is something I will have to work on as I get older.
