Agree to Disagree

To agree to disagree refers to a situation where people resolve conflict by reaching an agreement whereby both sides tolerate but do not accept the opinions of the other side. This means if I say 'Yes' and you say 'No', and I can't get you to say 'Yes', you can't get me to say 'No', we can just leave it as that. You may agree with me or disagree with me, it doesn't matter who wins in the end of an argument. It also doesn't matter who's right or who's wrong. What is most important, is that we share our views, you say what you want, I say what I want, and we learn from each other.
So you can continue to believe in what you believe in and I continue to believe in what I believe in, but we must keep an open mind about what we believe in and ready to accept that we might be wrong and learn from our mistakes: How to do it?
* Say 'Let's Agree to Disagree" with a smile
* First say what you agree with, then say what you think
Remember that smiling while agreeing to disagree is important. It's not just the words you use, but also your tone of voice, your facial expression, your body language, they must all say that you are really okey with it, not just saying it. Remember, whatever someone look good, it makes you look even better!!!
It's also good manners when you agree to disagree, you show politeness to others, and you show respect towards other people's opinions. You could maintain a civil dialogue and not waste time trying to convince each other when you recognise that these efforts won't work: Don't use it too early!!!
* State your agreements
* State your disagreements
* Decide what you agree and disagree with
* Agree to disagree
We should state both our agreements and disagreements, and only towards the end do we decide what we agree on what we do not agree on. If we cannot find common ground to agree on, we just agree to disagree!
