Win Any Argument!

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Ignore your opponent’s propo­si­tion – Under­stand it first before refut­ing it.  Deter­mine things that is out of the cur­rent propo­si­tion and attack from there.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Con­fuse the issue by chang­ing words.
7. 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!
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.

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.
