To Not Win an Argument

To Not Win an Argument

Humanity lives with different upbringing, mindset, and exposure. Inevitably, one must face opposing arguments all the times.

It is tempting to ceaselessly contest against antagonistic points of view. Winning one gives a good boost to your ego. But at what cost? Your willpower juice, friendship, family, or partner.

Even if other’s argument is absurd and outright senseless, take the courage to leave it be if prevailing the argument does not yield any real value to your life or work. Save your energy for something productive.

Don’t win the unprofitable battle but lose your precious time.
