You have been there, in a room where there is as person you could not seem to agree with. As much as you would like to fight and argue, it will not do you any good. Keep in mind that your opinion, his opinion or her opinion differ a great deal. You think your opinions are correct, but others also believe that their opinions are correct. Fortunately, there are several ways on how to respect opinions of others without jeopardizing your own.

Realize that you aren’t alone in the world and it is indeed ridiculous to assume that others have the same ideas as you. Before arguing, understand that maybe their views are influenced by their society and culture. Putting up barriers will only worsen the situation and you are also preventing yourself from opening to new perspectives and ideas. Listening to one’s opinion does not guarantee that you will change your views but could be beneficial to both of you.

Others opinions could open up new doors for you. Remember that when one shares his or her points of view, he or she shares about themselves, their country and   culture. You could learn so much from listening to the ideas of others. Think positive instead of thinking negative. Allow conflicting opinions give you the opportunity to express your own thoughts.
