			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our principle is that we do not want to get into any argument.  That’s the first thing every individual should aim for in any workplace.  However, that is not the realistic case where in any organisations, there will be fiery individuals are all out to consume you with their anger and hatred.  If there is a need to fight back, you will need to fight back and get back your reputation and dignity.  We have 10 tips for you to counter-strike and win any argument.  We hope that you can put it to good use instead of starting a fight with someone else at work<span id="more-247"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Generalize your      opponent proposition – Or even exaggerate it.  The more general your opponent’s proposition becomes, the more loop holes you can find against it.  On the other end, the more narrow the      propositions become, the more easier they can defend.</li>
<li><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-248" title="argue" src="http://www.lostincubes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/argue-300x198.jpg" alt="argue" width="300" height="198" />Use different      meanings of the words – Be attentive and focus on key words that is vulnerable      in his defense.  Play with the words      used.  Derive a different meaning of      the key word to refute his argument.</li>
<li>Ignore your      opponent’s proposition – Understand it first before refuting it.  Determine things that is out of the      current proposition and attack from there.</li>
<li>Do not reveal your conclusion until      the end – Mingle with all      your propositions and direct your opponent to agree with them.  There is no need to have a definite      order.  Till all major agreements of      your proposition are on your side, then you reveal the conclusion.</li>
<li>Use your opponent’s      beliefs to contradict him – If your opponent does not agree with what you      proposed, find loop holes in his beliefs (that contradicts to what he      proposed) to support your proposition.</li>
<li>Confuse the issue by changing      words.</li>
<li>Give facts – Show      the truth of your proposition by asking the opponent questions that they cannot      deny.  Cold hard facts does not      allow any room for discussion!</li>
<li>Drive your opponent      mad – Studies have shown that an angered individual loose his judgement      for a few seconds.  Therefore, but      angering him, his level of judgment or logical calculations may deplete      which is advantageous to you.</li>
<li>Use your opponent’s      answer to reach different conclusions – Make multiple conclusions of your      opponent’s answer.  The intend is to      confuse of what your opponent meant.</li>
<li>Confuse your      opponent by asking them to concede the opposite of your propositions.  Then work backwards on the loopholes      after he concede the opposite side of your proposition.</li>
</ol>
<p>It will the best scenario that you are not in an argument with anyone.  If you do, you can use these tips to your advantage as a preemptive measure against angered individuals at work.  Remember, do not start any argument unless really really necessary.  If you do, you might be the angered individual in your office.</p>
