“Look at all the women in my stories. They’re very independent; they create their own universes; they are very unorthodox. They aren’t held down by rules and regulations.”
Estela Portillo Trambley

“The first key point of persuasion is instantly catching attention. Why unorthodox methods frequently work? Because the doer exactly doesn’t know what and when is enough. So, the conscious efforts to improvise and attract the subject’s attention continues and the subject keeps getting hooked to something which is unexpected but unique at the same time.

When the established routine doesn’t work, try unorthodox.”
Shahenshah Hafeez Khan
