1. What do I get if I win? — RESPECT
2. What do I lose if I lose? — DIGNITY
3. What is the cost of this argument? — Possible loss of dignity.

I could be wrong on this, but it seems that this is the reason a lot of people argue (PRIDE). What do you think?

I know several people who love to argue. It's as if their first instinct is to disagree and take the other side of an issue, whatever it may be. I suppose I've done this from time to time myself. I think life would be made a lot easier if we all followed your advice. .-= Mike´s last blog ..Bronx Motels =-.

Arguing and fighting whether in the corporate world or personal life should be approached the same way. .-= Dragon Blogger´s last blog ..FireFox 4.0 Coming in Late 2010 =-.

This is pretty good advice. Usually when I argue, it's because "I'm right and I want to prove you wrong," even though it won't do any good and I will gain absolutely nothing from it. .-= bowling news´s last blog ..Johnson, Pluhowsky, Kulick Win in PBA Women’s Series =-.

you just give a great thing we all should think about before starting to argue. we would fix a lot of things if we did it that way. love your post, and like someone comment before: it is simple, short and so sweet. keep it that way!

The question I ask myself in these situations is, “What good can come of this?” All too often there is no good that can come from many of the things I want to say. And sometimes people still get upset, “You don’t talk much, do you?” )

Hilarious!

Sadly, I have often only realised I was involved in a dumb argument after the event, not during.

Good to keep in mind. I like the three questions!

This was a perfect “back to earth” post for me this morning.
Rude behavior had me wanting to argue. I decided to vent and let it go.
