What important truth do few agree with you?
Peter Thiel is the founder of PayPal and Palantir. He is also the author of book "Zero to One" and has also invested in Facebook, Space X and LinkedIn.
He is fond of asking a job interview question
" What important truth do very few people agree with you on?"
He adds that brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is even shorter in supply than genius.
As per him the good answer will take the form " Most people believe in x, but the truth is the opposite of of x."
Are you on a journey to figure out your important truth?

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.
