The old adage 'Winners don't do different things, they do things differently' holds true in today's world also.
Successful people are different from others because they learn to turn around things in their favor.
Generally, people overlook a lot of stuff but some things can really be potential hacks and mantras for success, only if we know how to use them.
Here are a few psychological hacks collated from a thread on Reddit, where different people responded to advice sought by a user on psychological hacks to success. Read on to know more.
1. Silence is golden
If you want someone to accept what you just said, be silent. This one can do wonders for people in sales and marketing, because if you keep on speaking after finishing your presentation, there are chances of losing the client. Instead, be silent and let the other person come to an awkward silence, in which he will most likely approve of what you said.
2. Mirror, mirror on the wall
If you want to stick to a job that sucks because people around keep shouting at you, try this hack. Place a mirror behind your workstation. People won't shout at you or pick on you if they can see themselves doing this in the mirror behind you.
3. Come first or last
If you are going for a mass interview, try to be either the first person to be interviewed or the last, because of the concepts of "Primacy Effect" and "Recency Effect". People tend to remember the first or the last thing (or person, for that matter) more than they remember the middle order.
4. Ask, ask and ask
If you want to impress someone, ask a lot of questions about them. Who doesn't like attention? If you ask people about themselves, they will love it and your job would be done. However, don't try this trick at an interview; it's you who has to answer questions, not the interviewer
5. Hola!
If you are going to appear for an interview or give a presentation and are nervous, trick your brain in thinking that you have known the interviewer for years and that you are as close as one can get. Visualize the time when you met your friends after a long time, this would not only decrease the tension but also give you a nice smile to start your presentation or interview with.
