How to WIN an Argument
Whenever my wife and I have an argument (defined here as a heated exchange of views), we would always end up being upset with each other - regardless of who won the argument...
In fact, there are no winners in any argument - if you win, you actually lose because you have lost the goodwill of the other party; nobody likes to lose an argument regardless of who's right or wrong!
Hence, there is only one way to win an argument: don't have one in the first place!
So when emotions are heated up, resolve never to get into any debate - do so only after both parties have cooled down.
