Can't you see there's another side to the coin?

Many a times we come across people who just will not listen to another person's point of view. What they think is right and what they do is perfect. How do we deal with such people? Simple...Dont try to deal with them. Coz there's no point trying to. They will only drag the point(which itself may be of no value) till they make you give up and agree with them. The best thing is to avoid such situations as far as possible and in the worst case that you do get into such situations, get out of them as fast as possible. No point having tiffs. They are never going to listen to your point of view and even you actually manage to make them listen to your view, all they will do is argue against it even if they see sense in it. Their ego wont allow them to accept that they were wrong and even that there is another way of looking at the issue.

What if going by their ideas can have disastrous consequences? What do we do then? The best thing to do in such unfortunate circumstances is to try other means, such as postponing the decision-making, or trying to get some others who are also invloved in the decision-making to see the flaw in the idea and listen to your point of view. Ofcourse, these techniques may not always be feasible or successful. Then simply admit to the fact that there are certain things you cannot change, certain things that just need to happen, however disastrous they may be. Why worry about things that are beyond you?

There are two sides to every coin. Each side has its own beauty. But people who have too much ego ingrained into them stongly believe that there is only one side to it and thats the side they are seeing. They will eventually see the other side even if they dont tell you. Things will turn out all well in the end.
