TGIF.

                                                                                 Style at Home
Always getting what you ask for in a negotiation--always hearing yes and never risking no--means that you never ask for enough. Excessive caution, rather than protecting you from rejection or losing face, can actually prevent you from getting all that you're worth, all that you deserve, and all that's available...When you aim high in a negotiation, you adjust other people's perceptions of you...You communicate that you expect to be treated fairly and that you're willing to stand up for yourself...Life will open doors a little more easily to you, and it's worth hearing no now and then for that, isn't it?

TGIF.


What we are today is a result of our own past actions; Whatever we wish to be in the future depends on our present actions; Decide how you have to act now. We are responsible for what we are, whatever we wish ourselves to be. We have the power to make ourselves.

 . . . . I like the advice Jim Rohn gave us: “Seek other people’s advice, but don’t take orders. And don’t take 100% of anyone’s advice. Make sure every decision you make is a product of your own conclusion. Be a student, not a disciple.” Amen to that.
Learn, yes. Seek advice, input and guidance, yes. Study mentors, ‘experts,’ role models and other achievers who have DONE what you want to do, but don’t accept everything as gospel. And separate out what you like, what makes sense and works for you from the rest of the sermon. In the end, there is only one expert on this planet—and that is YOU. Learn to trust yourself. You know best. Really, you do. Make sure you are your own best expert, of you.
