" How will you measure your Life?"
This book is full of inspirations and wisdom not only for students, professionals but parents too. It focuses on application of business theories to discover career, relationship and personal strategy for the life.

Career
---------
Our career should be outcome of our priorities (meaningful life, growth, learning….), suited to opportunities and supported with allocation of our resources (energy, time, efforts....). priorities, opportunities and resources should be well aligned and we must walk the talk.
------------
Relations
------------
Intimate, loving and enduring relationships are worth fighting for. Go for deep friendships rather than shallow friendships with many. Invest in relations long before we need them. Don’t outsource parenting role. Equip children with the right experiences. This is the relationship strategy.
---------
Ethics
---------
Personal strategy is one of living life of integrity and staying out of jail. Don’t go down the slope.
What are you striving for? Go ahead and figure out your career, relationship and personal strategy? Think through and find your own answers.

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.
