How to Argue and Win Every Time

Prepare. Prepare until we have become the argument. Prepare until you know every scale on the hide of the fish. Having prepared, next understand that good preparation is like writing a script for a screenplay. Proper preparation requires one to tell the story and to assign roles to the parties. Cast your side as the good guys, as the side chat is unjustly accused, wrongly despised, gravely misunderstood. Cast your side as the underdog. And, when those for whom we argue cannot wear the white hat, argue their case from inside their hides.

1. Open the Other to receive your argument. You have already learned how: empower the other to receive or reject your argument.


2. Give the argument in the form of story. As we have seen, we are genetic storytellers and listeners to stories. Remember, fables, allegories, and parables are the traditional tools of successful argument. Every movie, every soap, every sitcom, most lyrics in popular songs, all operas and plays, most successful television commercials are in story form. So do not forget what you have learned already: jurors, the boss, the family, theOther are conditioned to listen to stories.


3. Tell the truth. With ordinary words you have learned the incredible power of credibility. Being who you are is powerful. Saying how you feel is powerful. To be open and real and afraid, if you are afraid, is powerful. The power argument begins and ends by telling the truth. Truth is power.


4. Tell the Other what you want. If you are arguing before a jury for money, ask for money. If you leave the Other to guess what you want, their guessing may be wrong, and guessing spoils your credibility. Remember the power of justice. Jurors will circumvent the law to mete out justice. People will break the law to obtain justice. People will die in wars to win it. People can live without food or shelter or love. This is a species that can bear every kind and character of pain except one pain--the pain of injustice. Discover the natural justice of your argument and ask for it--demand it.


5. Avoid sarcasm, scorn, and ridicule. Use humor cautiously. Hold back insult. No one admires the cynic, the scoffer, the mocker, the small, and the petty. Giving respect to one’s opponent elevates us. Those who insult and slight do so from low places. Remember: Respect is reciprocal. The employment of humor can be the most devastating of all weapons in an argument. Humor is omnipotent when it reveals the truth. But beware: attempting to be funny and failing is one of the most dangerous of all strategies.


6. Logic is power. If logic is on your side, ride it--ride it all the way. If logic is not on your side, if logic leads to an unjust result, it will have no power. As Samuel Butler said, "Logic is like the sword--those who appeal to it shall perish by it." Logic does not always lead to truth or justice. Logic defeats spontaneity. Logic is often dull and is more comfortable with the dead, for it is often without spirit. Do not give up creativity for logic. However, the creative mind will soon see that creativity is often served by logic.


7. Action and winning are brothers. The worst of head-on attacks is often better than the most sophisticated defense. Never permit your opponent to take control. Do not defend when you can attack. Counterpunching is for boxers, and counterpunchers most often lose. The great champions of the world take control. The great generals attack first, and attack again. Take the initiative. Do something. But with those we love, the best attack is often to attack with love, and, as we shall see, winning is often accomplished by the art of losing.


8. Admit at the outset the weak points in your argument. You can expose your weaknesses in a better light than your opponent, who will expose them in the darkest possible way. An honest admission, having come from you, not only endows you with credibility, it also leaves your opponent with nothing to say except what you have already admitted.


9. Understand your power. Give yourself permission--only to win. But remember, arrogance, insolence, and stupidity are close relatives.

"It is not enough to know what to say. One must know how to say it."
--Aristotle

An example argument:

• "A" says: Cat is Crow.


• "B" doesnot agree in the above statement.


• "B" can argue in two different way:


• Option 1: Cat is not Crow.


• Option 2: Crow cannot be Cat.


• Option 1: This option, 'B' has to attack 'A' gruelly with words. But, 'A' could think that you are enemy to him and not his friend.Most important thing here, 'A' should think that 'B' is a friend and respects his words, which is more important.


• Option 2: "B" can say "Crow cannot be Cat" but "Cow can be Cat". This looks more interesting unless "C" argues "Cow cannot be Cat".


• Option 2: This provides a platform for intrepreting statement of "A" and "B" will use more facts about "Cat" which in turn keeps him entertaining and listening.

Guidelines for arguments:

• Try to avoid personal attacks. They can turn friends into enemies,which is not good.


• Use more facts,figures to prove your point.


• Provide examples whenever necessary.


• Arguments should be productive and shouldnot end in some inconclusive,confused,chaotic end. If it so, next time person who counter argues will think, anyway it is waste of time, why we should argue.


• Be truthfull.

Happy Arguing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haiku !!!!

Haiku, plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 morae (or on), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7 and 5 morae respectively. Haiku typically contain a kigo, or seasonal reference, and a kireji or verbal caesura.

• In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to parallel the three metrical phrases of Japanese haiku. Previously called hokku, haiku was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of the 19th century.


• In Japanese haiku a kireji, or cutting word, typically appears at the end of one of the verse's three metrical phrases. In English, since kireji has no direct equivalent, poets sometimes use punctuation such as a dash or ellipse, or an implied break, to divide a haiku into two grammatical and imagistic parts.

Some Interesting Haikus:

1) " I kill an ant
and realize my three children
have been watching."

2) "Silence--a strangled
Telephone has forgotten
That it should ring"

3) "A whale!
Down it goes, and more and more
up goes its tail!"

SciFaiku

• SciFaiku is a form of poetry inspired by the Japanese haiku, also sometimes known as scifi-ku or scifiku. SciFaiku poems are short, minimal poems about science and science-fiction topics.For one example of scifaiku:

"Next time you hear
crickets fiddling, watch out
for tiny spaceships. "

My Haiku:

"Searched for the,

meaning of beauty

got it now !!!"

Men vs. Women

Nowadays, there is lot of discussion that women are equal to men.Before, starting this discussion, I want to say that this blog is just taking the above statement and an analysis of it. Women are always equal to men and men are equal to women.

"The equality of men and women while highlighting their unique and complimentary roles."

Population

Population: 6,602,224,175 (July 2007 est.)

Age structure: 0-14 years: 27.4% (male 931,551,498/female 875,646,416)

15-64 years: 65.1% (male 2,174,605,518/female 2,124,494,703)

65 years and over: 7.5% (male 217,451,123/female 278,474,917) (2007 est.)

From the above statistics, we can come to conclusion that men outnumber women in world, except above 65 years and above.This means women live for more age.

Sports:

Event - Men's record - Women's record - Percent difference

100 meters - 9.84 seconds - 10.49 seconds - 6.61%

200 meters - 19.32 seconds - 21.34 seconds - 10.46%

400 meters - 43.29 seconds - 47.60 seconds - 9.96%

800 meters - 1:41.73 minutes - 1:53.28 minutes - 11.35%

1,500 meters - 3:27.37 minutes - 3:50.46 minutes - 11.13%

5,000 meters - 12:44.39 minutes - 14:36.45 minutes - 14.66%

10,000 meters - 26:38.08 minutes - 29:31.78 minutes - 10.87%

Marathon - 2:06:50 hours - 2:21:06 hours - 11.25%

From the above statistics, we can easily say men are more stronger than women. Also, I didn't see any womens football team/baseball team/rugby/boxing that much famous like the mens team.Also, in tennis men play 5 sets,while women play only 3 sets.Can women play a 5 set game.Can women play same number of test matches as much as men play in cricket?.

Logically, mens strengths are different,weakness are different,same applies for women.

Strengths

Men: Stronger,Risk taking,Hard worker

Women: Patience,warmth(Friendliness, kindness, or affection),caring,Smart worker

That's why say "Men are from mars, women are from venus" as they are completely different and need to compliment that strenghts for a better world.

Men need women and women need men to survive in this world.
