“Truth is always the strongest argument”
4.Begin in a friendly way.

6.Let the other person do more of the talking.
“In comedy laughter settles all arguments”
7.Let the other person have ownership of the idea.

“Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
9.Be sympathetic to the other person’s ideas and desires.
“Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves”
10.Appeal to the nobler motives.
“Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of view”
