Calling The Bluff in Negotiation

We teach people how to call the bluff in negotiation, but don't expose the bluff. The following 7 are the most common ways people bluff you in negotiation. Know the true meaning and be smart today! 
  1. "This is absolutely non-negotiable"  Deng Xiao Ping said this in 1979 to UK's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. This of course is a big bluff, for if nothing is negotiable, why do they come to the negotiating table?
  2. "We are not ready to discuss" Same obvious buff as above
  3. "We need to go back and study this and cannot commit to you now"  This bluff is actually to ask you to change your proposal. If I were to propose selling to them at $1, would they need to study and not commit now?
  4. "We understand your concern". This means they want you to understand their concern first 
  5. "We like your proposal very much..." What follows is a big bargaining!
  6. "Seems very far from what we expect"  This is a good bluff for they indicate to you they are going to negotiate and the difference is manageble
  7. "We need to leave now and let's fix another time for discussion"  What they mean is please give us a good proposal and we can agree immediately!

In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life.
