Other | | English term or phrase: practice on his subjects | Hello everyone,
You should learn to give suggestions in an earnest , firm, positive manner, your voice showing that you expect them to be acted upon, and your mind assuming the belief that such will be the case. If you have not this desirable quality you should take a few lessons from some good suggestor, and ****practice on
his subjects****. The experience thus gained will be most useful. It is almost impossible to convey in a written lesson the manner and tone of voice best adapted for this purpose, which information I always impart to my personal classes by means of actual experiments, under my supervision. If you will form a mental picture of what is implied by the two words Confident Earnestness , you will be able to grasp the idea I intend to convey
when I tell you to make your suggestions “in the proper manner.”
What does "practice on his subjects" imply? Is it a synonym for "take lessons from a suggestor" (i.e. subjects in the sense areas of knowledge)?
Or does it mean practice on students/clients of the suggestor?
Thank you. |
