HOW TO WIN IN ARGUMENTS ?

The argument starts when the subject under discussion is not properly understood or structured.The best option is therefore to listen the argument patiently and score a winning point by well structured argument.

Listen to what other has to say and put across your view point, cogently!

If you argue it si boudn to make the matter worse, sensible and intelligent people avoid arguments and pratcise silence and move out of that place

Please do not confuse this with a debate in office or public on any topic, argumnet is when it is turning mroe into a fight at perosnal level whereas debate and discussion are more sober in nature

Arguments at best should be seen as an opportunity to present your part of the perception and logic, as also patiently listen and understand the viewpoint of others.

Reaching a solution and not "Winning or loosing" is of any importance. 

Amazing debate Manoj......

There is not much point in having brilliant ideas if we cannot persuade people of their value. So know their strengths, weaknesses, beliefs and values. You can appeal to their higher values. You can exploit their weaknesses by turning their arguments back on them......

No need to get in an arguments if you don't have correct facts/evidence to support. My believe is if you don't know then you don't speak.

Manoj i am taking example of too step itself :- We are here, not to make only arguments. I have seen many experienced & professional people connected here & I think we are here to clear our views in some area where we are feel less awareness or confidence. Sometime we feel that "WE ARE PERFECT"  But the fact is that "NOBODY IS PERFECT" It also creates arguments. Because we usually see two minded person. (1) A Person who feel that he knows all things & no other in universe as like as him. (2) A person havn't knowledge in particular field but he also admitted the true. In both of cases arguments are required. Because arguments clear the picture about the knowledge of person. & also helpful to gain knowledge.

Here we start any debate or Idea to gain knowledge & to provide our few experience to others. AND CLARITY OF QUESTIONS, FACTS & TOPICS to all is a real win in true manner.......

For winning an argument,one should follow/have the following attributes

1.He/She must be a good listener

2.He/She should have in depth knowledge about the topic

3.One should put factual and to the point statement

4.He/She should have qualified communication skill

5.He/She should look into other's intended approach to the topic

6.One should not  interrupt other in mid way and should not take one's side as a matter of prestige

7.Never oppose other's veiws abruptly ie that is should put ideas in a articulated manner.

Yes try and read the psychology of the person who is arguing. First of all let him speak as much as he can. Listen to him patiently. Ask him to add further to his arguments. Let him finish first. Let him speak as much as he can till the point that he has the feeling of satisfaction. Than try very softly with your arguments. Ask him to keep patience and listen as you had also listened when he was speaking. If he is arguing only for the sake of arguing than give up. If you find he is ready to listen than argue accordingly. If the case is stubborn than also give up. There is no use wasting your energies. Always speak to your strength and not generally.

Try to keep the emotions and be cool, so the other one will try to follow the same. Also maintain your tone of voice a steady, low tone and volume, not fluctuating to much in speed and sound. Try to be as relaxed as possible and avoid high-pitched sounds.

Basic principle in Sales is to avoid arguments.As the caption suggests by winning an argument we lose a customer /friend,since the ego of the individual who lost will not allow him to continue the same kind of relationship.

I feel if u know the opposite person in argument well u hv half way won the battle.... remaining depends on ur ability to tackle the situation!!

Cheers!!

As mentioned above the very powerful tool of handling any argument is how one reacts in his behavior the first impression, an up to date knowledge should be there before entering any argument and then it depends how one dominates the situation and others' and then winding the argument with leadership aptitude is must with everyone’s' win-win situation in the end...

I believe in most of the arguments the most important factor is "Knowledge"

which plays a role of pillars in an Argument...Meaning if there is no knowledge in the arguer a baseless argument will produce nthng but a useless results...

for Explanation there is a causal effect of knowledge...meaning without proper explanation the knowledge is useless as well....

The Best way hence is Explaining your Knowledge with the help of Common sense.....

...be ready to loose if your arguing partner is making a correct point.

Since we are talking about arguments and not discussions/debates, I personally feel discussions/debates may turn into an argument if atleast one of the participant is riding his ego while participating.

A sure win win is to keep ego aside and counter argument with facts and data. It will be a good idea to break, collects facts and return to the table

Look for any sub-points which you agree with your opponent. Site them first and then bring out the points which you disagree. Do not try to come to a conclusion of who is right and who is wrong. Try to project that you have a difference in opinion against your opponent but you respect opponent's viewpoint.

Argument is bad, but discussion is good.

Argument is to find out who is right or wrong?

Discussion is a way to find out what is right?
