We’re not going to tell you money can’t buy you happiness. But you can be just as happy with a lot less than you have now. Really.
You can win an argument fair and square if you have a few facts and these techniques.

You Will NeedThe focus of an attack dog
A good memory
Humility
The will to exaggerate

Step 1: Don't back off（不要后退）
Don’t back down. Calmly document your points with objective facts.

Step 2: Disarm opponent（引用对方的话反驳对方）
Disarm your opponent by asking clarifying questions and using their answers against them.

Step 3: Cross-examine（盘问）
Cross-examine the other person and let them tie themselves up in their own logic. Once you threaten their ego, you have them on the ropes.

Step 4: Keep track of failed points（把对方无法讲清楚的点用来支持自己）
Keep track of your opponent’s failure to rebut certain points and state these at the end as proof of their agreement with your position.

Make mental notes during the argument of points your opponent can’t refute.

Step 5: Show humility（谦逊）
Admit your own mistakes and keep an open mind if you want to be taken seriously. Let them save face so you find commonalities that make them think your point was their idea.

It’s best not to try to bring up something you cannot prove, or it could undermine all your other points.

Step 6: Use one weak position to discredit all positions(找到对方的弱点)
Refute their weakest point, and declare this as proof that all their opinions on this topic are faulty.
