A lesson in negotiation

I thought I was a top-notch negotiator, just up until a few days ago, when in the middle of a business discussion, I was shown, by a smart attorney, that there was a much better way to get to my goal. Had it not been for that “second-opinion,” I would have followed my instinct and failed.

The morale of that story is incredibly limpid: No matter old we are, and experienced we think we might be, we don't know everything and can always count on the views of others. Something to always keep in mind as we keep on maturing!
