in Forcing Others to Do What They Don’t Want on Sui Generis
hey derrick interesting post. do you think that there are some situations where forcing people to do something they dont want to do actually works out well?
i often whether manchester united would have won the champions league had sir alex ferguson not forced ronaldo to stay at manchester united after euro 2004. ronaldo looked hell bent on leaving manchester united as he became public enemy number 1 after getting rooney sent off in the portugal england game. but because of SAF's intervention, ronaldo has gone on to become the best player in the world.
oh well thats just my 2 cents worth, thanks for the link previously!

No problem, =). Glad you asked the question, it was a really good discussion.
And well, I dont' think Sir Alex forced him to stay. I think it was more a case of persuading him to stay. There's a subtle, but really important difference there. Trying to persuade someone to do something they don't want to can work out well. But if you try to persuade them and fail to do so, forcing them isn't a good idea, in my opinion.
Of course, that's just my thoughts. =). You're free to disagree. And as for the example of Ronaldo, it's all speculation, I don't think either of us know exactly what happened, what was going through his mind, etc (unless you have some connections I don't know about?)
Anyway, thanks for your comment, and you're more than welcome with regards to the link. =). Keep creating.
