I personally don't like convincing others to do things that they don't want to do. 

I would only do that to a kid, assuming that he or she is just being stubborn or unwilling to try new things. In this case, I would either try to bribe the kid with a treat or do the thing that they don't want to do with them, so they won't have to be afraid. 

As for adults, I would let them be. They're adults. They should know better. If they don't want to try something, it's probably for a reason. I would like to believe that they are smart enough to know what they like and be aware of the reasons why they refuse to try something. Insisting could just annoy them. And being manipulative and coercive will just anger them. So, to keep the peace, I'll leave them be.

If I want to convince someone to do something, I would do the following:-

First of all I will explain the benefits of doing that 

Then will explain the drawbacks to not doing that

I can also offer some incentives to doing that work.

List all the Pros and Benefits he will likely get for doing that something. People at times don't do things out of fear that the risks might far outweigh the benefits he will likely get. 

A very good common example for this would be: Someone who doesn't want to leave his family for an opportunity to work at a good company but is outside the country. 

While it is very understandable why someone won't do that, they must also consider the benefits that he and his family will likely get. Working at a good company ensures his families future and is likely to give them a good chance of living a good life. 

I can convince someone to do what they never wanted to do by using something called reverse psychology,the

reverse psychology which i will use for such person is that i will command them to do a certain thing which is

an opposite of what i actually really wanted them to do,many humans will naturally want to resist my

commandments and would not want to do exactly what i asked them to do but instead they might do the

opposite just to prove a point but unknowingly to the person the opposite thing they are trying to do was

exactly what i really wanted them to do....i have used this trick severally and it works 80% of the time...:

By asking them to do the opposite 😹

In other to convince someone to do what they didn't want to do you must make sure what you are convincing them for is something that really worth it. Making sure that enough reasons are given and explaining and elaborating why they need to change their mind is very key. Some people are very adamant and they might have concluded already.This will make it very difficult to sneak into their heart and doing the changing things.

We must also put into consideration that we are trying to make someone change his mind so we mustn't be harsh about how we present it. Showing more liniency will add to the success of the game.

Also if there is any instances that can be given to buttress the points,it will be of advantage.

I was convinced by a friend to keep trying contributing on projects on Steem block chain after series of failure and I yielded due to how he approached the matter. I gave my excuse but what rendered me powerless was one statement. He said okay don't use your precious time,only contribute at your leisure. I was moved and that's what got me answering this question.
