When Your Opinion Matters

I honestly can't think of a situation right now. It has been a while since I have been trying to convince someone.  It has to be very important for me personally, or I won't argue. I don't really like confrontation. Sometimes my husband and I will argue about something and if it is very important to me, I end up getting what I want, but not always.  I definitely need to develop better argumentative skills.  I always think afterwards that I should have approached it differently.  Sometimes it seems to be a language problem, with me growing up with German as a primary language.
Sometimes I have to convince patients of something that is important for their health. I don't give up as easily then, as I don't want them to get sicker or not better by not taking a certain medication. I'm trying to get better at communicating and watch people who are really good at it.
