NOTE

Transform Knowledge into Action

Language can serve two distinct purposes: informing and persuading. Informing simply expands knowledge by allowing individuals to find their own paths, while persuading seeks to instigate action or change in thinking and behavior.

This transformation shifts the focus from mere instruction to influencing actions and outcomes, highlighting the profound impact that effective persuasion can have on an individual's understanding and behavior.
