Persuasion

The most recent situation where I can remember myself persuading someone was actually a few days ago. It was pretty late at night and a few of my friends wanted to go get a snack. As a snack I thought they meant something of a small portion. A few of my friends suggest Dennys! Don't get me wrong, Dennys is an alright place to go for a late night snack, but I wasn't feeling Dennys that night. So I suggested to go get some yogurt at Yogurt Delight. Most of them said that they wanted to go to Dennys, because some people wanted real food. Some people agreed with me, because yogurt is good, and plus it's cheap! So my friends and I actually sat there and began to list the good things from eating at the yogurt place. I remember there being a sign at little shop telling us how yogurt is actually good for your digestive system. So I started to list that and I told him that it's good and healthy for you! Dennys is just greasy and fattening. Plus, we're not going to go work out after this, we're going to go home and sleep! By then, a few had changed their minds. Eventually, we all headed to go eat yogurt. It was pretty late, so Yogurt Delight was closed, but there was another shop called whimsical. They are opened until midnight. So for my reasonings, I used causal reasoning and inductive reasoning. So I would say that my persuasive skill works pretty well.
