“Competition is easier to accept if you realize it is not an act of aggression or abrasion. I’ve worked with my best friends in direct competition. Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it”.

Diane Sawyer : In a speech.

When you let someone else win an argument, often you both end up winners. If one of my children says, “you never spend any time with me,” my impulse might be responds, “but I spends lots of time with you. Don’t you remember just yesterday we went out to lunch?” what I have found, however is that my willing participation in the argument does nothing more than keep it alive by feeding with attention. Sometimes a better response is, “you’re right. I hope we’ll start spending more time together. I love you so much.”
