We are always eager to explain to others why they are wrong, but what we should actually do is show interest in other people’s viewpoints, and this also serves our own interests.
When others reject one of your proposals, you first need to show interest in the reasons behind it, and your attitude must be as sincere as possible. You can ask, “Why do you disagree?” and then listen attentively to their answer. Their answer is like a gold mine, containing many pieces of information worth considering and leveraging. That is the secret.
