When you are talking to a friend, you sometimes try to change his or her thoughts. But you may find it hard. (1)
First of all, please don't change your talk into a quarrel (吵架) at any time. (2) By showing facts, you show that you are right.
Don't say “you're wrong”. If you think someone is wrong, use “may/might be wrong” instead of (代替) “you are wrong”. This opens up the door for both of you to talk about your ideas. (3)
To get the other person to say “yes”, you may begin talking about the hobbies he or she has. Then your friend will accept (接受) you more easily. Then they will be more open to your ideas.
(4) Listen to them patiently to show that you really care about what they think, and they will respect and trust you. So when it's your turn to talk, they will listen.
In a word, you should respect others even if you don't agree with each other.

Zengzi was a famous thinker in Chinese history. And he was one of Confucius' students. The following is a story about him.
Once upon a time, Zengzi's wife (妻子) was going to the market. Her little son wanted to go with her. She said, “It is 1 far and you have to stay at home.” Her son was 2 after hearing this and cried. Zengzi's wife didn't know 3 to do. Their son cried without a stop. His wife could do 4 but to humour him, saying, “Listen to me, my dear. Stop crying and go home now. Mum will be back soon. When I'm back, I'll kill (杀) a pig to make a big meal 5 you.” When the son heard what his mum said, he went home happily.
Not long after, the wife got back home from the market. Zengzi tied up their fat pig, took out a shining sharp (锋利的) knife and prepared to kill it. His wife stopped him from killing the pig 6 and said, “We 7 kill it. I just made an excuse (借口).” Zengzi said seriously (严肃地), “How can you cheat (欺骗) a child? Now you cheat him, and then he will follow your example and cheat 8. Besides, when a mother cheats her child, the child won't 9 his mother any more. Then how can you teach the child well? So we must be 10 and keep our promises (诺言).”
Having said this, Zengzi raised his knife and killed the fat pig.
