What questions are you not asking yourself?
We ignore information to avoid negative feelings. Psychologists say that human beings bury their heads in sand because they feel guilty when confronted with reality.
This is the "ostrich problem" i.e. ignoring information helps us because of the need to avoid negative feelings. Ignorance is bliss.
But in long term, it is bad. We need to learn to face the reality and find answers to the questions which we are ignoring.
• Am I happy?
• Do I like my Job?
• How meaningful is my work?
• Am I doing what I truly want to do?
• Am I proud of what I am doing?
• Am I doing anything which makes me and people around me happy?
• If happiness is a currency, how rich do I think I am?
• Am I doing what I believe in, or am I settling for what I am doing?
We can change only if we are honest to ourselves and find out what matters to us.

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.
