How to win the argument when it is with a close friend?

You win some you lose some
What do you do when you get into an argument with a close friend. You think your right and she thinks she's right. How do you settle it? Personally, I'm not out to "win" the battle. I want to learn and grow from the experience. If we can learn from each other and still be friends, despite our differences, that is someone I want to be friends with. If you can overcome the obstacles, then that is a true friendship. Whatever it is your arguing about, try to see it from their prospective and hopefully they can see it from yours. Some arguments, however, you just have to let go. You can't win every fight and you can't fight for the friendship either. As adults, you two have to somehow come to an understanding, or get over it and move on. If it bothers you so much, and they won't budge, maybe it's not worth the fight. You win some, you lose some.
I used to work in retail and there was this girl I could NOT stand. She would initial over my initials, taking credit for the work I did. She would boss people around and tell me what I need to do, she would complain about everyone and would buddy up with the boss and make it seem like she was working so hard. We would argue and disagree about everything in the workplace. I eventually came to the point where I did not want to be around this girl, she was all about drama.
Our boss ended up speaking with the both of us about it. We eventually made our peace and amazingly enough we are great friends today. I never would have thought I would have ever been friends with her, but we are. What I'm getting at is, you can really overcome any type of disagreement if you choose to.
If you want to be immature about the whole thing and be stubborn about it, then so be it. Unless you completely clash about it and the other person makes no effort, or let's say they did something unimaginable, something so unforgiveable that it can't be dropped, forgotten or forgiven. In that case, maybe things can't go back to the way they were. That's just apart of life, you have to take it for what it is, as hard as it may be.
I lost what I thought was a best friend. She ditched me. Then she tried to justify it. I've never recieved an apology, but a hurtful blog post. She claimed she cried about it and then she spread around that it was my fault for what happened.
So, I lost that one, or actually, she lost me. As hurt as I was, I learned who my true friends are.
From every experience you go through, when you lose a friend, you learn from that experience. With each experience, you grow, and I am only thankful for those experiences.
I'd rather have a few true friends than a bunch of fake ones.
(Except for the thousands of internet friends I have, those are cool, but I meant my life outside the internet lol)-and yes, I have a life outside the internet ;0) thanks
