成熟的标志-你不再好辩

The signs of maturity¹ 成熟的标志

 

You are less argumentative and more accommodating

 

你不再那么好辩

 

 

There are times when you think you are right in an argument but by winning an argument you may lose a friend.

 

So, it may be advisable to refrain from arguing too much at these times. Quite often, when things are normal, the other person with whom there was an argument may realize your point of view, or it is also possible you understand his/her perspective better.

 

For, just because someone is not agreeing to you, does not mean he/she is wrong. By arguing less, you are providing the required space and prestige to others, and at the same time you are buying more time for yourself to look at the other's argument from another angle.

 

And additionally, you command more respect from others. This shows you are now a matured individual.
