What is Success?
Everyone has his own definition for what constitutes success.
Wealth, fame, ethical living, spreading joy and love, seeking social approval ..making the world better, power....
What are you running after?
Bessie Anderson Stanley's poem which describes "What is Success"
--------------------------------
He achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.
----------------------------------------------------
You need to define elements for your "Success" and then work towards achieving.

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
