A Novel Journey


I remember when I was in 9th grade I’d a friend in my class who used to read so many novels. Once I saw a thick old looking book with her so I asked her what that book was about & she told me that it was Tom Swayer, an interesting book about a boy, that she'd borrowed from the school library. She insisted that I too should read it as its a very good book.

How to win an argument?!

We all have been part of some heated discussions/arguments in our lives. Do you remember the last time when you got into an argument with somebody? May be with your mother, friend, sibling or just any random person, huh?! Today when I got into one such argument I realised that winning an argument is in fact an art! So I decided to do some research on this topic. When I googled I found some really interesting & insightful articles about it. One article that I found was-'How to win an argument when you're wrong". But I've no intention of winning an argument when I'm wrong. What is the point of arguing when you know you're wrong? It's just a huge wastage of the time & energy. It creates a scene like Big Boss house where people argue like mad! Moreover you can never make a good impression on anyone when you argue like Samvhavna Seth.

"Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn't measured by how many times you stood up to fight. It's not winning battles that makes you happy, but it's how many times you turned away and chose to look into a better direction. Life is too short to spend it on warring. Fight only the most, most, most important ones, let the rest go.”

First & foremost it is very important to decide where to pursue an argument & where to let it slide. Golden rules of any argument are-Don't lose temper.  Remember point no.1. Because if you lose temper you lose! Also it is very important to stick to the point. It becomes even more crucial to keep your mind cool when someone starts personal attacks. Defeat the opponent with facts & logic.
