How to make own words more influential?

All of us want to be heard in the meetings and conferences, but how we can make our words influential? How to be sure, that other people would listen to those words, and they would support our opinions? If we are younger employees, we might have difficulties with that problem. How to make elder workers listen to our words? The most effective way to make power to our words is claimed, that the idea comes from the customers or some other actor.


That would give a picture or thought, that the idea is coming from somebody else. In this case, we must remember, that the persons, who we want to influent, might check that thing. They might ask, have somebody really said that thing, and that would be little embarrassing if that customer etc. will not remember that thing. Another way to make an influence is to claim, that some great scientist has said the things, what we are bringing in the discussion.


This is the way, what some persons are using in university. They would copy the ideas of great scientists and then put source under their texts. This shows that those persons can read the ideas, what somebody have brought in the own discussions maybe a hundred years ago.  When we are meeting that kind of person, they might be really vexatious. They always start their speech with the words "the great scientist said once", and this makes those persons look like a little bit silly because we all can lend that book from the library, and see those pearls of wisdom from there.


In this case, we have a problem. We should say something, what those persons, who have written everything about those things cannot find in books. We must bring something new to that table. And that is really difficult. The most difficult thing in the world is to show something really new, what comes from our own brains. Also, people should have to make listen to those ideas and the comments should take very seriously. When we are at meetings, we should put our mobile telephones away, and listen to the things, what other people say.


And in those meetings, we should be active, and write the ideas or some other interesting things on paper. And after the meeting, we can write those texts with the text editor. This shows that the person is active, and interesting about the things, what are under the handling. And in the meetings, we should follow, what other people say, but everybody is sometimes "sleeping", and when the boss asks something, is two ways to act.


Other is to say something, and hope that the answer would be even near the thing, what question handles. Or the other way is to say, "sorry, but can you repeat your question". Think about which one is better? And the third is to say, "I have nothing to say". But in this case, we should be careful, because if those words are involved in the thing, what we should do, there would be very embarrassing situations. So the best way is to confess, that we are not perfect, and ask, what the boss said. This would spend time and money.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
