There are many ways to handle disagreements. Winning the argument is not the only way. People are different. It is sometimes near impossible to change people's minds. People (including you and me) tend to believe they are right. Remember that sometimes the relationship and trust are more important than winning the argument. You can choose to concede. You can try the other person's idea first. You may "lose" for now, but you gain much more in the long run.
Try asking this question. So what if you win the argument? Even when you are right and have the facts to back you up. Will the other party happily do what you want? Or will they only do it grudgingly? Or maybe they simply refuse to do it out of anger? Winning an argument sometimes doesn't help your situation. You have to think of smarter ways. Be on the same side as the other party. Find common goals. Let go of any of your own biases. Perhaps you will find a more creative solution.
