Instead of prioritizing your argument—in fact, instead of doing any thinking at all in the early goings about what you’re going to say—make your sole and all-encompassing focus the other person and what they have to say.
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:”
