Situation 1 - The minister is seated on his comfortable couch in his living room, gorgeous girlfriend by his side and close friends around applauding his humor. He is in pleasant mood because with his political party in power and supporters on his side, he feels like a King. Just about as he was cracking a joke with everyone, you approach with your application with a warm smile.
Situation 2 - The minister is at his opponent's house surrounded by opponent's sidekicks, who are cracking jokes 'at' him rather than with him. His political party is no more in power and his supporters left him in distress. For you, your work can only be approved by this local minister, so you left with no option but to approach him with your application. You can wear a warm smile but don't count on it
Which situations of the two do you think the outcome will be in your favor. In second situation, even if the local minister wants to help, he may not be in the condition to deliver it.
