Don’t tell someone they’re wrong – no one likes to hear that.

Don’t yell and argue with someone you believe to be wrong.

It never turns out well.

Even if you are right, how does that help?

Instead, understand why someone thinks a certain way vs. criticizing them.

Listen to their viewpoint.

Let them make their case.

You may disagree with them.

You most likely will.

But, that’s okay.

It’s not about winning or losing.

They can explain themselves and you can explain your perspective.

That’s it.

Don’t make them feel bad about the way they think – mostly, it’s what they grew up learning from those around them.

They won’t change their minds because you told them they’re wrong.

They’ll resent you.

Listen to better understand why they think that way.

That’s the only way we can come together and learn from one another.

It doesn’t have to be about right and wrong.

Can’t we have a constructive conversation where we may disagree?

That’s a better outcome than hatred for someone because they’re different.

We need to be better as a whole vs. choosing which team we’re on.

Can’t we all be on the same team with differing opinions?

Wouldn’t it be worse if we all agreed?
