Tip of the Month: DIY Self-Fulfilling Prophecies

I found that I can beg for sushi from this guy more effectively by creating a self-fulfilling prophecy instead of asking.

Instead of:

Please can you give me some sushi? Please?!!!

Try:

I won’t ask you for sushi because I know you’ll give one to me anyway. I do, after all, write the Word of the Day

They feel more obliged to fulfill the prophecy.
