Every time you get into an argument, ask yourself this question:
“If I win this argument, what will I gain?”
If the answer is “nothing worthwhile”, you MUST agree with the other person. A simple “Hmm, that makes sense, I agree” will often suffice.
If the other person elaborates on and on, you will nod and agree (even when you KNOW they are wrong).
If you catch yourself in the middle of an argument, you will stop and say, “Hmm, Now that I think about it, I suppose you are right! I think I agree with you!” and nudge them into talking more and more.
This must not be done in a snide or sarcastic way – it must be done sincerely so that the other person feels knows that you agree and that you’re on “his side”.
You are not lying to people; you are simply just giving them the privilege of having their opinion uncontested and saving yourself time and energy.
It’s the only sensible thing to do.
Do this for 30 days, and see the difference it makes to your life and relationships.
