Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) - It is one of the best Part of Motivation. Mainly, NLP is programming your brain using the language and other types of communication. Below two stories will explain you, how exactly works in real life.
A boy asked his mother, 'what's NLP?'
His mother said,' I will tell you in a moment, but first you have to do something so you can understand. see your grandfather over there in his chair?'
' Yes ' said the boy.
'Go and ask him how his arthritis today?'
The boy went over to his grandfather '. Grandpa replied, ' it's always worse in damp weather. I can hardly move my finger today.' A look of pain crossed his face.
The boy went back to his mother. 'He said it was bad. I think it hurts him. Are you going to tell me what NLP is now?
'In a minute, I promise,' replied his mother. 'Now go over and ask grandpa what the funniest thing that you did when you were very young.'
The boy went over to his grandfather. 'Grandpa,' he began,' what's the funniest thing I ever did when I was very young?'
The old man's face lit up. 'oh' he smiled, ' there were lots of things. There was the time when you and your friend played Father Christmas and sprinkled talcum powder all over the bathroom stared into the distance with a smile.
Then there was the time I took you out for a walk. It was a Lovely day and you were singing a nursery rhyme you had just learned. Loudly, A man went past and gave you a nasty look. He thought you were brought too noisy. He asked me to tell you to be quite.
You turned round and said to him, "If you don't like me singing, you can go and boil your head." And carried on even louder..." the old man chuckled.
The boy went back to his mother.' Did you hear what grandpa said?' he asked.
'Yes,' his mother replied. 'You changed how he felt with a few words. That's NLP.'
A wise man rode into a desert village one evening as the sun was setting. Dismounting from his camel, he asked one the villagers for a drink of water. 'Of course,' said the villager & gave him a cup of water.
The traveller drank the whole cupful. 'Thank you,' he said. 'Can I help you at all before I travel on?'
'Yes,' said the young man. 'We have a dispute in our family. I am the youngest of three brothers. Our father died recently, god rest his soul, and all he possessed was a small herd of camels. Seventeen, to be exact. He decreed in his will that one-half of the herd was to go to my oldest brother, one-third to the middle brother and one-ninth to me. But how can we divide a herd of 17? We do not want to chop up any camels; they are worth far more alive.'
'Take me to your house; said the sage.
When he entered the house he saw the other two brothers and the man's widow sitting around the fire arguing. The youngest brother interrupted them and introduced the traveller.
'Wait,' said the wise man,' I think I can help you. Here, I give you my camel as a gift. Now you have 18 camels. One-half goes to the eldest, that's nine camels. One-third goes to the middle son, that's six camels & six camels & one-ninth goes to my friend here, the youngest son.
That's two;
'That's only 17 together,' said the youngest son.
' yes. By a happy coincidence, the camel left over is the one I gave to you. If you could possibly give it back to me I will continue on my journey.'
And he did.
How is NLP like the Eighteenth camel? It could be that it is brought into the situation by a wise man, solves the problem quickly and then disappears as if it had never been there.
I guess you have got an idea about how exactly NLP works. Let me know how much it is useful to you.... through your comments.

Excellent way of communicating about NLP to a beginner, that too in the form of a story.
