Thanks, Auntie. You accidentally taught me strategy. đź§ 

The first mind trick isn’t magic. It’s making someone believe your agenda was their idea.

Auntie looked at my half-eaten plate and said: “You don’t like my cooking?” I panicked and ate everything.

Years later, I see it everywhere—not just with aunties. In meetings. In relationships. In marketing.

“Eat more, you’re too thin.” “Don’t eat that, you’ll get fat.” Somehow, both from the same auntie. Same five minutes. Same loving smile.
