The best thing you can do to avoid fights.

This is one of the best things that happened to me as I read "How to win friends and influence people" and discovered one of the best advises in avoiding fights and maintaining better relations and that advice is.....

    "Putting yourself in other's shoes"

So, next time you presume that someone is behaving strange or unconventional to you then put yourself in their shoes and try to see their point of view.


The above-mentioned illustration is the perfect example of the difference in perspective. You may be right but if you haven't analyzed the situation from other's point of view then there is no point in arguing or debating.

While in an argument or debate always remember that there is no such thing as winning an argument. Because theoretically if we assume you have won an argument but in the process, you have bruised(if not severely) the ego of your opponent which in most case will be your acquaintance, family, etc and this way you will only spoil your relations with them. So, never argue but discuss. 
Try this. It will do wonders for you.

Empathy holds a lot of power it not only enables you to understand others but also helps you to appreciate others and different perspectives. This way by appreciation and realization you will become a better person, a communicator, and a better manager. This is one of the qualities which makes us human and has helped many to grow.

Rise and Shine
