The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
If we lose the argument, we lose; if we win the argument, we have made the other person feel inferior, hurt his pride, and made him resent us. In other words, we still lose.
The best way to win an argument is to avoid it. Two egos are head-to-head in an argument, and both are trying to defend their turf.
The result, even if you win the argument, is resentment and negativity from the other person.
