"YES" is the most powerful word in the English language. Even though it is the most powerful word, that doesn't always mean it is the answer.

It can be broken down into four sections: separate the people from the problem, focus on interests, not positions, invent options for mutual gain, and insist on using objective criteria.

Stienberg: Winning with Integrity. Reason Does every thing in life revolve around negotiating? Your relationship with family, friends, significant other, school, church, work, does every thing have to be a negotiated? I feel the answer is of course "Yes."

Negotiation and difficult conversations happen daily, the only difference between you and everyone else is how you deal with those situations.

One week had passed and I had no luck selling my car. I have to admit that I was getting a little concerned because I was really looking forward to sell this car and get some money for it.

Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In by Roger Fisher and William Ury In this classic text, Fisher and Ury describe their four principles for effective negotiation. They also describe three common obstacles to negotiation and discuss ways to overcome those obstacles. Fisher and Ury explain that a good agreement is one which is wise and efficient, and which improves the parties' relationship. Wise agreements satisfy the parties' interests and are fair and lasting.

Having the satisfaction of being heard and understood by having the employer reiterate what has been said can deescalate a disagreement from arising [Getting To Yes, pg. 36]. In addition, Professor Tom Hastings exemplified in [Week 2, Lecture] of a small Muslim woman at a riot, was able to effectively communicate to an angry “alpha” man by actively listening to his negotiation.

The ability to listen distinguishes skilled negotiators from average negotiators and it is also an important leadership skill (Siedel).

Water makes up 75% of human body. It is the most important ingredient in our bodies. Today many people ignore drinking water and concentrate more into the carbonated drinks. One of the main reasons I would think people drink more carbonated drinks (such as sodas and sport drinks) is because of the way a company hype up their products and use their marketing strategies to influence people into buying them.
