Arguments — pick your battles

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

I saw the funny (albeit rude) quote above today and recalled how I have learned (from a person wiser than myself) about life in the corporate world — that it’s not always about constantly topping the other person in an argument. People have feelings, and you pick your battles. Letting the other person win gives them a boost of confidence, and we can all use that once in a while. Give and take. No need to be a jerk over why the toilet scrub brush should be red instead of blue (even if blue is better).

Take a step back and look at the big picture, I’m sure the corporation has bigger problems to worry about.
