Host: Wisely Topic: “Pregnancy and Abortion” Introduction of the Meeting: Who is the boss of your body? Abortion, the most dangerous progress for pregnant woman, also is a disputant issue for a long time. Do you agree that some people say it is a life- killing, a murderer’s behavior?

After a short introduction, we went on the trip to “How to Persuade People in Words Concisely?” Main Ideas of “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW 1. physical beauty fades with time 2. death will come to us all of sudden 3. time is running out little by little 4. life is full of uncertainty 5. life is precious, so it needs to be nourished, cherished, protected, and fulfilled. Extended Ideas of “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW “Carpe Diem”, a Latin phrase means “seize the day while you may.” It urges the target reader not to waste time pondering but take actions immediately. Application of “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW In Business: (Life insurance) Treat everyone better because future is hard to predict. (Negotiation) Chances wait for no men. (Market) Take it or regret later. (Nike) Just Do It! In Work: (Manager) Work smart—enjoy working In Daily Lives: (Proposal) Marry me while we are young (Decision) “To be or not to be is not a question but a decision” Before the Application of “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW Love your target reader first before they love you. Always have them in mind while writing. Know your target--Specific ones such as your buyer, lover or Non-specific ones like general public. Skill 1 while Applying “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW Write down each word on a piece of paper and brainstorm things that you can associate with your goal and find images as the following examples: 1. a hollow skull could represent death 2. a blossoming trees could express life 3. a winged clock could represent time Skill 2 while Applying “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW~~ Words, Words Example: “anger” Distinguish the gradual difference of its “synonyms” like wrath, irritation, and indignation while its “antonyms” are calm, self-control, forbearance, patience. Then choose the right words which can exactly convey your ideas!!! Skill 3 while Applying “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW~~ Sharp Senses Call for all five senses from your target reader such as sight, sound, smell, touch,and taste into your description. Say it indirectly and skillfully to “trap” them to be your followers Skill 4 while Applying “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW~~ Forms Any forms can serve the purpose in “visual art” like painting, movies, “ written form” in prose, poetry, or “vocal art” like opera, and so on. Most poems sound melodiously because of rhymes. Rhymes: regular sound patterns in the stanzas of each poem. Non-rhymed: non- rhymed poems sometimes are marvelous if elaborately written, which is named “Free Verse.” Skill 5 while Applying “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW~~ Describe by “ Event? Object? Moving Object (Person or Animal)”? Choose the one best to serve your purpose Classic Examples of “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW~~ Lesson 1: Different Approaches of the same goal, “Carpe Diem”—Tombs & Proposal--- 1. ---Death is longer than life: Tombs “古詩十九首之十三” ~ 驅車上東門, 遙望郭北墓,白楊何蕭蕭,松柏夾廣路,下有陳死人,杳杳即長暮,潛寐黃泉下,千載永不寤, 浩浩陰陽移,年命如朝露,人生忽如寄,壽無金石固~ ---Life is short :( Proposal) ”To His Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvell, Had we but world enough and time; This coyness, lady, was no crime. ~ Lesson 2: Image of “Cat”—an Animal-- In “Fog” by Carl Sandburg, he choose “cat” to describe “Fog” because they both are mysterious, soundless, moving on and he carefully chose the words to sound soft while reading. Lesson 3 Bridal Couch, Narrow bed, Any Bed? –An event of “Wedding Night”- In “Bridal Couch” by Donald J. Lloyd, he successfully associated them together in an event of “wedding night” to covey “Life” and “Death” and how to “Live to the most of it.” Lesson 4 “Eternity” or “Life”—an Event--- In Greek Mythology, Sibyl, a witch, was granted with “Longevity.” Long time later, a child asked what wish she wanted. She replied, “I want to die.” Truly, “Long existence” is completely meaningless without “life.” However, we all agree “Youth is not a time of time; it is a state of mind” by Samuel Ullman. Lesson 5 Images of “Morning Dew”---Poets’ Choice-- Both Chinese and English poets like to use “morning dew” to indicate life can be finished soon as the dew vanished in the morning. ---Chinese: “短歌行”by 曹操, “對酒當歌，人生幾何？譬如朝露，去日苦多。 ~” ----English: “To Daffodils” by Robert Herrick, ”~ We die ;As your hours do, and dry Away, Like to the summer's rain; Or as the pearls of morning's dew, Ne'er to be found again.” Avoid using the “cliché” as your descriptive tools and always find fresh word or images to illustrate your ideas!!! Blissers’ Application of “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW~~ "Poetry" by Nania Come, my inspiration. Let us prove While we can, the sports of love Delicious cook is not from the book Good wine is not vented in one night Wonderful pretties are well cared and rare. "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle" by Kevin Huang As a little bird's wing Sneaking into the blue, not wet Murmuring stream is eyeing Grain of rice it needs Longer ride Little cost “Caterpillar” by Ellen One little crawling caterpillar Is asking the flowers: Why no one sees me? Then asking the grass: Why no one cares about me? No single word he gets And he never gets "Faith" by Cara The pure heart is like water The observing eyes are crystal The listening ears are eternal The recording pen invigorated The thinking paper revolts And natural as I is a fighter. “Rush-rush?” By Berkeley Eager first, anger last forever "Lie" down for a rest Or it's a waste? "Lie" to make it? Line up to" waste" is no "waste"! "Sleeping Pills" by Johnson Last but not the least Once you get used to it You will fall in love with it So gentle and mild Order it now Call me now Once you take it You will have a sound sleep Once you don't have it You will become a zombie Once you take it You will be fantastic Once you have a good quality Your life will be full of energy. “Tranquility” by Tina Still at eight o'clock Several cows wondering the green landscape Just enjoy the complete silence alone Surely big sounds arouse The nature is quiet and full of lives From the bugs and the winds **Reflections: We appreciated the efforts of Annie, assistant Cara and all the other participants. We seized the moment which was never called back but left the poems to trace our steps. Applying “Persuasive Art”--Seize it NOW~~ After leaving “Persuasive Art” in poem, some Blissers joined an activity in Taipei Fine Arts Museum, in which they danced to paraphrase poems, or enjoy the lives in any form of “Carpe Diem”!!!
