Great Said friend… Human psycology is a very complicated subject & to understand it is to achieve Perfection in whatever we do.. & that is why many BIG companies spend millions to find out how can they convince their consumers without affecting their PROFITS…. this is how they become BIGGER by understanding their consumers & a direct war to their mindsets..
