Raise your hand

 The raise your hand strategy is well-known and practiced widely by people who do talking from any field. It is a simple and a call to action strategy. What it does is helps to engage people, more precisely, the audience with whoever giving the talk. We can call him the controller. He controls the crowd and their emotions. A well-practiced and experienced man can make people laugh or cry when he wants. That’s why they often let people laugh at the beginning by cracking some old jokes and making them emotionally attached to the end.

 To actively engage a group of people is difficult than an individual. Because attention diversifies and an individual in the audience gets a fraction of it. So, here the possibility is to make them concentrated, fully engaged. Everyone knows that when the number of people increases, the effect of it which it reaches fades. As a result, the core intention of spreading the notion becomes vain. Only vagueness exists. So what successful entrepreneurs and speakers do is that they apply call to action strategy. Raise your hand is one of them.

How they begin is they ask few questions which they know the majority will show up their hand and finally to a question which most people hesitantly pull their hands inside further. This is a good engaging mechanism and powerful too.

There are various types of practices that makes up to a perfect finishing time. But whenever we look at it, the core always lies in the amount of we focused. We can even say that focus is solely responsible for completion. Without focus nothing cannot be completed. It may stay unsolved forever. People try to make their lives better by doing several things, in the end we could say that they were indirectly trying to improve their focus.

Pitching an idea

Pitching an Idea to the investors when we desperately need money is quite challenging. Convincing investors is not an easy job. We have to go multiple time to receive first round investment. Investors care more the enthusiasm and mentality of the founder than the idea that they are pitching. In order to show the driven passion, we must have a very good communication skill. Most of the founders keeps their skill at convincing investors at its peak. When they see the opportunity along with it, they tend to invest.

Society can be a trap

There are lot of traps out there. Only after falling or getting out of that trap we realize that we were bondaged for a very long time. We were born into the society trap where everything is predefined. Everything is written and all we have to do is to obey them. We are not allowed to wander with our will and certainly not with any other rules. Predefined are the prime ones. When we look at those cultural scribings of activism, we could see that everything is limiting and designed to refrain is from our true potential. The hardest thing is not being unaware of this trap, it is being in the trap even after knowing you are in a trap. This makes us to think differently. Because we found something, probably, no one around found. It would be game changer for everyone. It could transform the society and culture, paving a more promising future for the generations to come. But what happen when we introduce this theory to those blind people is quite depressing. They mock and joke you, laugh a...
