Day 9 of 365 new ways to a new you. Congratulations, you have made it this far. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you ready for tomorrow? This is part of a series that is going to span 365 days. Some things will be subtle other activities will be more involved. At the end of the 365 days even if you do only 20 of these things you will be a new person, for better or for worse.

Before I begin with day nine, I must defer you to our Terms and Conditions .

Sometimes fiction is more interesting than non-fiction. People often walk around unaware of their surroundings and unaware of their own movements. To convince someone of something you know not to be true, is both a challenge and a reward when you succeed. It shows one their own ability to interact and control others.

Day 9: Convince someone of something that’s not true

When I say convince someone of something that is not true; I mean something obviously not true. Chances are though the more subtle the better. Use your talents to your advantage. I knew a graphic designer that once made fake coupons to distribute at a major coffee chain. He placed these professional quality coupons in the chain stores. Then he waited there sipping on his latte watching people redeem the coupons. The company was forced to validate the coupons out of fear of the customer’s reaction.

You need not do something so elaborate or devious; but please do try to convince someone that you lost your talking dog. You may even try to convince someone that you can’t read an analog clock. The choice is up to you, so start small and end big.
