Everyone has to deal with difficult people, whether they are argumentative, abusive, stubborn, or combative. The question is, how can you assert your own rights without creating an unnecessary incident?
In most cases, angry people are screaming to be heard. They want to be valued, loved, and listened to. They want to feel important but aren’t able to express themselves constructively. With the right attitude, it’s possible to get past these insecurities and reach an understanding.
These 7 strategies will help you setting disputes quickly and peacefully for the benefit of everyone involved:
1. Remain calm.
Be still and say nothing. Let the storm run its course. Often times the angry person wants to provoke you. Arguing is ineffective because it raises barriers.
2. Let the other person do the talking.
He or she will soon grow tired of it. Sometimes that’s all they want. To be heard. To feel important. Everyone wants to feel important. Some people just express it in ways that are counterproductive.
3. Genuinely consider the other person’s point of view.
Imagine yourself in his shoes. Never say “you’re wrong.” In fact, try hard to look for areas of agreement and build on them.
4. There’s power in the words “Yes, yes, I see exactly what you’re saying.
You mean…….” This shows the other person you hear him/her. That’s all they usually want — to be validated. By agreeing with them, you gradually break down the other person’s anger.
5. If the situation turns verbally abusive, put a stop to it.
Firmly but calmly state: “You’re very angry right now and you’re saying things you don’t mean (give them the benefit of the doubt). I’m going to excuse myself. We can talk again after you calm down.” Then leave the room or ask them to leave.
6. If you are wrong, quickly admit it and take responsibility.
You could say, “You’re absolutely right, it is my fault and here is what I’ll do to fix it.” Even if you’re NOT wrong, at least give them the benefit of the doubt, “I may be wrong, let’s look at the facts together.” It’s hard to argue with that! These words have tremendous power. Not only does it validate the other person’s viewpoint but it also diffuses the tension. You might be surprised by what happens afterwards. The person could end up defending you. You’d be amazed how an attacker suddenly becomes an ally.
7. Use the power of visualization.
If you’re dealing with someone you interact with on a daily basis (like a boss or co-worker), try to imagine that person as a loving spiritual being. I did this with a boss I had at a Wall Street bank several years ago. He was an absolute tyrant and gave everyone a hard time. In retrospect, he was clearly unhappy and insecure.

Petua hilang ngantuk ketika memandu
Semua orang, apabila memandu kereta terutama untuk perjalanan jauh spt
balik kampung berhariraya, travelling kerana tugas rasmi dsbnya, akan
merasa mengantuk yg teramat sangat ketika memandu. Hal ini boleh mengundang
padah kerana hanya sedetik shj anda terlelap ketika memandu, kemungkinan
untuk anda ditimpa kemalangan adalah 99% kerana ketika terlelap itu, otak
anda tidak lagi berfungsi dan sedar, mata tertutup dan anggota tangan dan
kaki tidak lagi dpt mengawal kenderaan yg dipandu. Berdasarkan pengalaman
saya, sepotong ayat Al Quran di dalam Ayat Qursi boleh dijadikan penawar
untuk menghilangkan rasa mengantuk ini. Potongan ayat tersebut berbunyi...
"LA TAKKHUDZUHU SINATUW WALA NAUM..."
(maknanya: [DIA - ALLAH] TIDAK MENGANTUK DAN TIDAK TIDUR")
Selain itu, amalan mustajab untuk mengelak berlakunya kemalangan adalah
dengan membaca Ayat Qursi 3x sebelum memasukkan gear pertama mahu memulakan
perjalanan
anda ditambah dengan ayat
"BISMILLAHIL LADZI LA YADHURUHU MA'ASMIHI SYAIUN FIL ARDHI WALA FISSAMAA'
WAHUWASSAMIUN 'ALIIMM" 3X.
doa ini juga boleh digunakan sbagai pelindung diri drp sihir.INSYAALLAH……..
