58 / 365 Learn How to Disagree
Honest disagreement is
often a good sign of progress.
Do
you disagree with others when necessary? Or, are you a ‘yes’ man? The ability to analyze and to come to an
independent decision is an important life skill to be developed. Everyone has a
right to have their own views and express the same. Their decisions and views
may also affect us. But we also have the right to think independently and form
our own views. The problem is that some of us may not know how to express our
views assertively. You have to train yourself to express your own point of view
if needed. Like you learnt cycling or typing, you need to learn this skill
also.
One
way to do this is to keenly observe people who express a contradictory view and
tactfully model them. Start expressing your views on small issues. On major
issues, you may take time and reflect on the choices you have. You may jot down
your reasons, why you don’t agree on the view expressed by others before
expressing your point of view.
Start
developing this trait in you from this week and notice your assertive
personality growing!
