Principle 1 - Avoid Arguments At All Costs.

Always avoid the acute angle. Always avoid arguments like you avoid rattlesnakes and earthquakes. You can’t win an argument. You can’t because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it. You will feel fine. But what about him? You have made him feel inferior. You have hurt his pride.

Principle 2 - Show Respect For Other Person's Opinions.

Always Say - “I may be wrong. I frequently am. Let’s examine the facts.” You will never get into trouble by admitting that you may be wrong. That will stop all argument and inspire your opponent to be just as fair and open and broad-minded.
