ideas. These futuristic ideas guarantee future

INCUBATION
This is a smart thinking process whereby an idea at
an embryonic stage is protected from hostile
elements known as ideas killers and gradually
exposed to friendly elements known as ideasstimulants.
The mind is the womb from where ideas are
conceived, nurtured and groomed to maturity before
they are given birth to.

Unfortunately, persuasive words in this scripture
are used in a negative connotation. Of course,
what do you expect, if bad people use persuasive
words, it is done with a wrong motive. However,
smart Leaders use persuasive words to get peopleto understand and accept their points of view
without trying to be imposing.
