NOTE

**Warren Buffett’s learned communication. Winning argument is not influencing or changing. **

Warren Buffett has mastered the art of skilled communication through his study of Dale Carnegie's principles 'How to Win Friends and Influence People.' He values the importance of effective communication and aims to ensure that his message is well-received and understood. Buffett has embraced the concept of 'winning argument is not influencing or changing,' recognizing that while some may excel at winning debates, it does not necessarily lead to influencing or gaining goodwill. This resonates with the insight from Ben Franklin, who highlighted that winning arguments may impress others with intelligence, but can also create enemies.
