One of my favorite quotes from Dale Carnegie is “The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it”. This is the approach that I’ve been taking with all of my interactions with people. I know that arguments are never won and even if you prove your point, you will mot have gained anything.
Every argument that I do not partake in is a personal win to me. It shows my self-control. Instead of engaging in arguments, try to understand the other person’s point of view, show empathy, and look for common ground. If that’s not possible, change the subject, or just end the conversation. Some people want you to stoop down to their level and argue with them. Don’t do it.
Remember, the only way to win an argument is to avoid it entirely. By following these simple tips, you can improve your relationships and lead a more peaceful and conflict-free life.
