You know that trying to reach an agreement is an exercise in futility, but go ahead and make overtures anyway. It looks better if the other party turns you down.
Someone you hoped to impress reacts like a cold fish. Don't throw him back in the water yet. Try again, but invest in time spent together.
Digging in your heels only makes the other party more insistent. You're bigger than this. Yield on a point or two and s/he will see reason.
You put a lot of time into prep work and it's paying off, but don't stop now. Build on your momentum and take things to the next level.
Don't ask for advice if you're not ready to follow it. Figuring out a solution is hard enough without the person helping you out having to sell you on it.
You've run out of options and must confront the obstacle you had hoped to avoid. Ironically this proves to be easier than what you were doing.
A rivalry is what you make of it. Expect the worst and you'll be beaten; embrace the competitive spirit and you become the best you can be.
A boss or client has been late getting back to you on a money matter. Prod; don't push. Remember you still have to work with this person.
Your self-deprecating humor has always been your best defense. A folksy approach makes critics look like spiteful naysayers.
Certain people haven't been entirely honest. Nevertheless they have their reasons. Tell them you're all ears for when they're ready to divulge all.
