Summary

Law Nine: Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument

Analysis

A form of win that a person may get from an argument is normally misleading. A person is, therefore, likely to generate a high level of resentment from the specific individual that he might be arguing with (Greene 69). The other party may also fail to change the perception that he has regarding the person. It is, therefore, more desirable, to influence other people to agree through actions. Where actions are used as opposed to words, they are likely to generate a lasting impression. A demonstration is more effective compared to an explanation. An instance is provided where an engineer made a smaller mast than the one that the Roman consul Publius Crassus Dives Mucianus had ordered (Greene 70). On delivery, the engineer was summoned to explain. He provided a thorough explanation of why the smaller mast was the most important. After his explanation, he was stripped thoroughly and whipped. Thus, he needed to make the mast as ordered by the king and provide an explanation why it would not work properly, however.
