HOW TO WIN ARGUMENTS WITHOUT LOSING FRIENDS

In this modern world people love to connect with one another . When we meet with our friends or relatives at get togethers or at dinner table there is always some discussion. So naturally some disagreement is inevitable  but at such times  we should remember that it's not the argument that matters but the relationship . 

Here are some points that will help you win arguments without losing friends :

1. Start with what you agree on:  It's good to start the conversation with the points which both agree upon . If you start by discarding the ideas the points of the other person you will lose from the very beginning . It's  a great way to win an argument . 

 

2.  Listen to understand – It may be hard, but the person in front of you has a point; likely a valid one in their mind. So, dismissing their idea or understanding without seeking to know their point of view is a surefire way to lose right from the start. I try to make sure I'm not just waiting until they stop talking to make my own point.

 

3. Don't throw vague facts : Don't use facts which are false or not practically possible to prove your arguments . It's very annoying . Use facts which have some relevance. 

4. Have understanding:  Try to understand their point of view  . From what background they are coming . Try to understand it from their perspective. 

5. Relationship matters more than argument: Ultimately it's the relationship which matters more than the argument . If you think if you have gone wrong somewhere it's best to apologize.
