How to sell an idea
Part 1
Your pitch needs to answer four questions: What is it? How does it work? Are you sure? And can you do it?

The exact details are going to depend on your topic and your audience, but there is a general template to follow. The essential idea is that by the end of your pitch, you need to answer four fundamental questions about the thing you’re pitching.

Focus on interdependence and cooperation, not independence and competition.
Throughout life, we're constantly compelled to compete: we worry about who's got the best grades, the best job, or who's smarter or prettier than us. This unhealthy focus on independence and competition impacts us negatively.
Trying to achieve everything alone and in competition makes us rush to get things done. People “rush to live” by getting fast food while running to an appointment, instead of taking time to eat healthily. Others “rush to love” by moving from one relationship to another – ending things when difficulty arises, rather than working through it.
