\"War<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s well said that a pen is mightier than a sword. While a sword may nevertheless be unfeasible in an office, war of words, i.e. arguments break out more often than we intend to. And they’re not always between ego maniacs fighting over trifling issues, most of the arguments are over difference of opinions between learned men. In such cases, or any of the situations where you’ve to convince anyone that your intentions are for the greater good, you need to put forward a strong case.<\/p>\n

To make sure you, along with everyone, are on your side that is the winning side, know the difference between making a claim and stating a fact. Confused? Look at this:<\/p>\n

Fact: Eggs contain protein. Everyone should eat eggs.<\/p>\n

Claim: Eggs being rich in protein can boost your body’s growth functions and thus should be a part of every day diet as per WHO.<\/p>\n

Which sounds more convincing? I know your answers already, been there, done that. So what separates a fact from a claim? How can you ensure your arguments are to the point?<\/p>\n
