WHY YOU ALWAYS LOSE WHEN ARGUING?
The most anti-seductive form for language is argument. How many silent enemies do we create by arguing? People do not listen. They feel. They sense. They dream. To persuade anyone, you cannot rely on logic. When arguing, you are certain to create enemies with your momentary victories. When you argue, you force yourself. You misuse your power of words. You become hostile and better knowing.
We rarely think before we talk. We are self-absorbed and insensitive. This is unavoidable as our minds are concerned of ourselves. Our survival and well-being. In First Impressions however this is the last thing you want to do. To be self-absorbed and argumentative.
"The argumentation is noise, - discord, creating not only dislike, but also hostility against you." -Max Noble
The key to successful First Impression is to step outside your own skin and inside another’s, sensing their state of mind. You are not here for yourself. You are here for the others’ well-being. You are a servant of others. At least momentarily. This is a radical shift of perspective. You will stop saying the first things you think of. You will become considerate and more balanced. Less self-absorbed. And surprisingly, - you’ll become stronger and wiser as you learn the other’s mind and their workings.
Truth of First Impression. The argumentation is noise, - discord, creating not only dislike, but also hostility against you. Your goal is the make friends, - not enemies. Learn to give space to others. Give them the right to be right. Anyway, you cannot in them truly to your side with your logic. You’ll win by taking the higher road. You’ll show the way in your actions, mannerism, public appearances, but never in direct, logical words. You enter to their minds by letting them enter yours.
Final Note. Some are able to send others to dream world with their words in most subtle way. By insinuating. They are the true masters of words who uplift, sadden, awake fear or stir anger without referring to anything real. This trait of eloquence can be learned and it is one of the most wanted and admired skills of all. Eloquent people can argue and they will win. Not because they use logic, but because they master the emotions of others.

8 年I like the depth of thought in this piece. Like you said... when we argue we put ourselves first. We do not grow by putting ourselves first, how can you learn & grow if your always first?
