How much point is there really in arguing? It is most often completely unnecessary especially if you have good control over your emotions and thoughts. Michael tackles the superfluous ‘red mist’ and demonstrates how a level head is a huge advantage in every situation, let alone in a family court.  
KEY TAKEAWAYS 

The loss of temper often results in hateful consequences and ongoing incidents unrelated to the original. 
Arguments rarely result in positive results.
When you are in the witness box you can never respond to calls for anger. Master your emotions.
You can rarely, if ever, change someone’s view by arguing in anger.
Seek to understand others, especially those you find irritating. 

BEST MOMENTS ‘Reflecting back on the incident I realised the whole thing had occurred in less than a minute. In that brief  moment in time tempers could erupt like a match thrown on petrol…Remember how quickly sparks become raging fires.’‘How can you listen attentively to questions put to you and have the presence of mind or poise to consider exactly how you would wish to answer the question, and then do so, in moments of irritation, anger or rage?’‘There is an important distinction that I think you should grasp. When I say you should never argue in the witness box, I mean do not get irate and engage in any heated discussion.’
