The next time you find yourself in an argument, stop and reflect on what you are trying to achieve. What will you get if you win?

Arguments have very little upside for the winner, and lots of downside for everyone involved. An argument suggests that people are not listening to each other, so what good will it do?

Maybe that is the answer. The only way to win an argument is to start listening and make it a conversation.

Would you rather win an argument or be understood?

    Good idea to turn the argument around
    before it starts.
    Start a conversation by listening.
    Ok!
