convince

1520s, “to overcome in argument,” from Latin convincere “to overcome decisively,” from assimilated form of com-, here perhaps an intensive prefix, + vincere “to conquer” (from nasalized [鼻音化] form of PIE root *weik- “to fight, conquer”). Meaning “to firmly persuade or satisfy by argument or evidence” is from c. 1600.

• convinced: 坚信不移的; 有坚定信仰的 →unconvinced
• convincing: 令人信服的 →convincingly, unconvincing
• convincible: 可被说服的; 可喻之以理的

Some people call George C. Parker the most convincing American who ever lived. Once or twice a week for several years, Parker convinced people he owned the Brooklyn [布鲁克林] Bridge. After they believed him, he’d sell it to them. His buyers would usually discover the swindle when police arrested them for putting on toll barriers on “their” bridge.

While Parker definitely isn’t a good role model when it comes to honesty, there’s no doubt he knew how to bring others around to his point of view. Once you know exactly how to convince someone (the right way), you’ll be a better salesperson, entrepreneur, and/or professional.
