What if I softened my approach when I am communicating with another person whose ideas I feel are incorrect?

What if instead of saying, “You are wrong, that will never work,” I said, “That is an interesting way of seeing it and we could also try this as well,” and then really listened to them?

What if improving my communication skills made my life much easier and we both got what we wanted?

What if their way really was the better way?
