| [Quote No.43067] Need Area: Work > Sell
"[In discussions with others] The language of needs [and these days entitlements] is the [often well-intentioned but unfortunately inaccurately overused, dependency reinforcing] native tongue of [salespeople,] socialists, therapists, and paternalists of all sorts and is addressed to needy dependents. The [usually more truthful, as in descriptively accurate, and freedom empowering] language of wants is spoken by self-respecting adults and is addressed to other self-respecting adults. [Salespeople often use the word 'needs' in its broadest, colloquial sense, when in fact 'needs' really refers to the absolute minimum requirements that someone 'must' have rather than what they would freely 'want', 'prefer' or 'choose' between the available alternatives that meet or exceed their 'needs'.]" - Thomas Szasz
