Hi dear friend @shortsegments.

When we think about asking or requesting what we want, perhaps our first thought leads us to a passive and submissive attitude. But in these fast times that we are living this attitude must change, it must evolve.

These tips you give us are totally valid, but I think we should add a touch of topicality and modernity to get the recipe we need.

What do I mean?

Taking these tips into account, we must add a proactive attitude and total positivism, where we must ask ourselves that "we will not accept a NO as an answer".
In this sense it would be worth knowing a little about the interlocutor's psyche and taking a step forward.

Sounds like a hoax? I may have a bit of that, but the end would justify the means.

Your friend, Juan.
