We’ve all been there:thse times yu need t argue yur pint f view t smene wh yu knw disagrees with yu.Yu immediately g t yur keybard and start t type ut that 280-character tweet,the Facebk reply,r a paragraphs-lng email.Surely the reasn,lgic,and strng pwer f yur written wrds will cnvince whever it is wh disagrees with yu t see yur pint f view.But new research suggests a different idea.
That research was cnducted by Juliana Schreder,assistant prfessr f University f Califrnia,Berkeley,and her clleagues.In Schreder’s study f almst 300 peple,participants were asked t watch,listen,and read arguments abut subjects they agreed r disagreed with.They were asked t judge the character f the cmmunicatr and the quality f the argument.Schreder’s team fund that the participants wh watched r listened t the cmmunicatr were less dismissive (抵触的) f their claims than when they read that cmmunicatr’s same argument.
The idea fr her study came frm a newspaper article abut a plitician.She read a speech that was printed in a newspaper frm a plitician with whm she strngly disagreed.The next week,she heard the exact same speech playing n a radi statin.She was shcked by hw different her reactin was tward the plitician when she read the speech cmpared t when she heard it.When she read the statement,the plitician seemed iditic,but when she heard it spken,the plitician actually sunded reasnable.
S in the wrkplace,speaking t smene in persn ften invlves nthing mre than walking a few drs dwn t their ffice.And that’s exactly what yu shuld d if yu need t cnvince that bss r clleague f why yur blueprint fr the cmpany r prject is the right ne.
Only as a last way shuld yu try t cmmunicate with smene wh yu disagree with ver scial media.Twitter’s limited text allwance and scial media users’ shrt attentin make arguing yur pint an uphill battle.

概要写作练习
A typical lin tamer(驯兽师)in peple’s mind is an entertainer hlding a whip(鞭子)and a chair.The whip gets all f the attentin, but it’s mstly fr shw.In reality, it’s the chair that des the imprtant wrk.When a lin tamer hlds a chair in frnt f the lin’s face, the lin tries t fcus n all fur legs f the chair at the same time.With its fcus divided, the lin becmes cnfused and is unsure abut what t d next.When faced with s many ptins, the lin chses t freeze and wait instead f attacking the man hlding the chair.
Hw ften d yu find yurself in the same psitin as the lin? Hw ften d yu have smething yu want t achieve(e.g. lse weight, start a business, travel mre)—nly t end up cnfused by all f the ptins in frnt f yu and never make prgress?
This upsets me t n end because while all the experts are busy debating abut which ptin is the best, the peple wh want t imprve their lives are left cnfused by all f the cnflicting infrmatin.The end result is that we feel like we can’t fcus r that we’re fcused n the wrng things, and s we take less actin, make less prgress, and stay the same when we culd be imprving.
It desn’t have t be that way.Anytime yu find the wrld waving a chair in yur face, remember this:All yu need t d is t fcus n ne thing.Yu just need t get started. Starting befre yu feel ready is ne f the habits f successful peple. If yu have smewhere yu want t g, smething yu want t accmplish, smene yu want t immediate actin.If yu’re clear abut where yu want t g, the rest f the wrld will either help yu get there r get ut f the way.
