What do elderly people need?
Elderly residents of a nursing home were given a house plant. Half of the residents (A) were told that they were in control of plant's feeding and care. The other half (B) were informed that a staff person would take care of the plant.
A follow up study, introduced volunteer students' visit to the elderly people. In one group (A), the patient had control over the students' visit. They could decide the time and day of visit. The other group (B) had no such control and students visited as per their convenience.

Negotiation is an important life skill
Negotiation is also a game, the more you play and practice, the better you get. Learn and prepare negotiation to reduce anxiety. Like any other skill, it can be mastered.
· Negotiation skills are learnable · You need to know the concept & principles · You need to apply the principles & practice the game · You should get feedback after each negotiation to improve
Last but not the least, seek negotiation and don’t avoid it. When you do buy or sell an asset or join a new job, negotiations are part of the whole process. Prepare for negotiations and don't avoid.
Negotiation is an information game, a conversational dance where we exchange offers...back and forth…offers and counteroffers to benefit mutually.
