If defeated, beg to differ. “Arguing is seeking change,” writes Mayer. “Change is a process–sometimes fast; sometimes slow.” Be patient when trying to persuade others to accept your point of view. In instances where your argument is rejected, Green recommends you ask for the opportunity to try again with new supporting information or a different desired outcome. In instances where you can’t appeal, he suggests you remain positive, confident, and “take pride in knowing that you’ve [at least] made your point.”
