think
Thinking and intelligence are separate.

16.
17. Genuinely seek to find points of agreement – not sycophantic pretence

Other person view right – spell it out
Changing perceptions to look at
things in different way is an
important step
18. How to agree without compromising
Define your principles and openly declare them
Stay away from secret liaisons
Take turns to agree
Try to find a middle path
19.
20. Do not disagree for the sake of disagreeing
Do not disagree just to show how clever you are or to boost your ego
Do so politely and gently /= rudely and
aggressively
Point out that a fact or statement is simply wrong
Distinguish between having a different opinion and disagreeing with an
opinion
21. How to Disagree without Offending
Be a good listener. Your ears will never get
you in trouble
An open mind leaves a chance for someone to
drop a worthwhile idea in it.
Use phrases like “In my opinion,” “I believe
that,”
Speak two languages, one of them Body.
Sometimes, it’s what you don’t say that counts.
23. Listening is not just having to wait impatiently until you can yourself speak
A good listener pays attention and seeks to get the maximum value
You should use question to check on fact
You should make a habit of
repeating back to the speaker
what you think you have
understood
24. How to Listen effectively
Listening has to be learned
Listening takes time
Compose yourself physically
Listen with an open mind and an open heart
Give visual encouragement to the speaker
Don't interrupt
Don't rush to fill a silence
Ask open questions
Know when to stop listening
25.
26. There are times when only one of a different set of opinions can be right
Seek to explore and explain the reasons for the difference
Different may arise from:
- Personal preference, values, point of view
- Perception, personal experience
27. How to Be Different
It is okay to imitate a variety of people in small ways
Adopt ideas from a variety of sources
Find good, positive friends with diverse interests
Be intelligent to decide who you want to be
Respect other people's differences
self-discovery is an ongoing process
Be bold!
28.
29. Go further than just agreeing with
a point that has been made
You may wish to extend a
suggestion by enlarging it and
growing the suggestion
You may want to modify an idea to make it more acceptable to
yourself, stronger and more practical
Instead of the usual ‘battle’ of arguments there is a joint effort to
explore the subject
38. Adjectives are usually subjective and tell more about
what their user is feeling than about the matter itself.
Beware of adjectives used to make a point in place of
logic or information
Ultimately, choices and decisions are based on emotions and feelings
40. You do not need full and complete information about a
subject in order to discuss that subject
Very little information?? Imagination and speculation is the basis for discussion
