If youare planning on doing business with someone again, don't be too tough in thenegotiations. If you're going to skin a cat, don't keep it as a house cat.
Talent alonewon't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the righttime, unless you are ready. The most important question is: 'Are you ready?'
Undernormal conditions, most people tend to see what they want to see, hear what theywant to hear, and do what they want to do; in conflicts, their positionsbecome even more rigid and fixed.
To start blindly with a statement is a sign of arrogance and narrow-mindedness,and will lead to conflict. To start blindly with a question is a sign ofuncertainty and honesty, and will lead to wisdom.
Takecare, don't fight, and remember: if you do not choose to lead, you willforever be led by others. Find what scares you, and do it. And you can make adifference, if you choose to do so.
