How did Wilson win public support?
Wilson (former president of the United States) once attended a luncheon hosted by new york Nanshe when he first became governor of New Jersey. The luncheon chairman introduced, "Wilson will be the future president of the United States." Of course, it is impossible for you, Mr. President, to have such predictive ability. It's just a compliment

So Wilson stepped onto the podium amid praise. After a brief opening speech, he said to everyone, "I hope I don't like the characters in the stories that others told me before." In Canada, a group of tourists were fishing by a stream, and one of them, Qiang Sen, dared to drink some dangerous wine. He drank a lot of this wine, and then he and his companions were going to go back by train, but instead of going north by train, he went south by train. Therefore, his companions were anxious to find him back, so they sent a telegram to the conductor of CSR: "Please send a short man named Qiang Sen to CNR, he is drunk." Soon, they received a reply from the train conductor:' Please describe its characteristics in more detail. There are thirteen drunken passengers on this train. They don't know their names and destinations. And I, Wilson, although I know my name, I can't know exactly where my future destination is like you, Mr. President. "All the guests here burst into laughter, and the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became happy and active.

Most people who laugh at Wilson's stories think that funny anecdotes usually come from the jokes' self-teasing. However, few people in the audience understand that Wilson's story is actually based on their experiences.

Was Wilson's intention just to make people laugh? Of course not. In fact, he used one of the most powerful ways to gain the favor and support of others, and also eliminated the previous barriers. Wilson's strategy is to sacrifice one's "ego" to improve others' "ego".

We must know that all extraordinary talents, when they are close to the people, will deliberately make fun of themselves or criticize themselves, making the people feel relaxed and happy. At least when he speaks, people will feel superior to him, so people will generally feel sympathy, love and support.
