Resolve the fight over an orange
After a hard day of work, you reach home.
Upon reaching home, you find your two daughters, who are seven and seventeen years old, fighting over an orange. Your wife has offered them other fruits, but both insist on having an orange only. At this time you have only one orange at home.
Now since you are home, your wife has asked you to resolve this fight. You request them to share the orange this time and promise to bring more oranges tomorrow.
But they are adamant and do not agree to your proposal. Each daughter insists on a complete orange now.
What are you going to do?

Negotiation is an important life skill
We negotiate most of our waking hours. We negotiate with our team members, colleagues, bosses and vendors at work, with our kids, spouse and parents at home. We negotiate during buying or selling of an asset e.g. house, car and also conflict resolution and during salary negotiations. Negotiation is an important life skill and it contributes to our success.
If we do not negotiate well or don’t negotiate at all then there is a big chance that we are going to leave money on the table, which could have been ours. We often don’t negotiate because we feel it is inappropriate or feel uncomfortable and fear it.
“You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Chester Karrass
