on how to controls your temper.

Press Release Body = When two people argue? Are there really a winner?

A person forced to submit against his will stays firm in his belief. So what's the
best advice to a situation that seems to lead to an impending argument?

Welcome an opinion even though it is the opposite of your own. When two people go
into a partnership, let's say in business, it is normal that disagreements arise.
Actually, it is healthy for business.

Disagreements don't mean that the partnership will go sour. It's the exchange of
ideas that gives businesses more competitive edges and improvements. Use
disagreements to your advantage. This is especially true to married couples.
Husbands and wives may disagree but they ultimately find a common ground to make
their relationship stronger. It's like exploring each other, getting to know your
partner better.

If you are the temperamental type, learn to control it. Make every effort to
gradually reduce the intensity until you see substantial improvement. Temper that is
out of control is fueled by anger like a forest wildfire. This is entirely different
from controlled temper that is like the fire in the fireplace giving warmth at
wintertime.

One of the most important character you can develop to avoid arguments is to be a
good listener. Give your ear a chance to listen first before you let words come out
of your mouth. And when you do have a word or two to say, try your best to align
them in a non-argumentative direction. Be tactful. Dwell on areas where you think
you and the other party will agree. Be sincere. If you made a mistake, acknowledge
and apologize accordingly. Apologizing for mistakes does not make you a lesser
person in terms of importance. On the contrary, people feel humbled when apologized
to. Apologies bring out the gentle person in you.

Give the other party the benefit of the doubt in his opinion especially when you
doubt your own opinion as well. Tell the other party you will think over his ideas.
This is better than being told later " I told you so but you wouldn't listen." This
will also give you and him the chance to evaluate the problem or issue.

When someone takes the time and the effort to engage in a debate or argument with
you, it only shows that he is also interested in the same things as you do. That
alone is sufficient reason for you to thank him.

Arguments are raised not to be a source of losing one's face. Arguments are raised
so that we may learn a lesson and get better in acquiring added knowledge.
