Always try to be transparent and straightforward. Remember, all sorts of martyrs are not hailed. According to Dr. Emma Watson, a psychologist, burning out silently over petty issues can raise the blood pressure and result in unnecessary problems. It is good to be considerate yet firm. Don't take ill-treatment lying down.  While unnecessary aggressive and hostile behaviour should be avoided, becoming unduly submissive and fearful is not correct. We need to strike a balance between the two. There is no need to adopt an aggressive conduct. Make it a point to stay cool and remember that your objective is to resolve an issue and not to raise a hue and cry. If you look forward to something positive, try to be that in the first place. If you are open, considerate and ready to listen to others, then why shouldn't they reciprocate with equal warmth?

Arguing is very much in the human nature. Almost everyone does it. But everybody should understand that there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. Some people do it overtly by yelling while some others do it covertly without much hue and cry. You may think that the former is the right way and the latter is the wrong one. But the fact is that the method actually does not make any difference. Understand that you don't need to be furious to express your anger when you are not happy with something or someone. If you are angry, you don't need to throw things or break them or shout at people or end valuable relationships. This is regretful behaviour and hence not acceptable in a professional organisation.
