Discuss Don't Argue. 

 

Most of the relationships, whether at work or in life, get strained and instead of maintaining discussion we generally end up in having an argument, even on small and unimportant issues. Discussion clarifies things whereas argument always ends up with fight. 

 

Every person is right from his point of view. Actually, person is guided by his thoughts, experiences, knowledge and circumstances. It is not that always other person is against you; it is mostly because he thinks differently. 

 

In discussion, there is a scope to listen others point of view. But when argument starts, person doesn’t want to listen anything else. If we listen attentively and empathetically, it would lead to better ideas and solutions. Be cautious, on discussion drifting towards an argument, pull it back and keep it within the limits of discussion only. 

5 Tips to avoid argument:

1. Plan your discussion

2. Listen empathetically.

3. When you are about to lose control, stop immediately.

4. Learn to avoid discussion on small matters.

5. Give more weightage to relationship.
