Fishing Through the Fog

There are few friendships among men more sacred than the “fishing buddies.” Like all friendships, it is a bond forged from the passage of time together. Most friendships develop from time spent together during an activity or social function or a shared class in college: doing something. Fishing buddies develop from doing nothing. That is what most fishing consists of, sitting in a boat or on the shoreline doing absolutely nothing but waiting for a fish to make a bad decision.

Food for thought: How to develop your personal negotiation skills

Negotiating skills can help you manage different kinds of life situations, both at work and in your personal relationships.  Many family situations require negotiating with others.  Deciding which movie to see, planning how to spend money, choosing a vacation spot, and many other decisions work best when you have these skills.  Being a good negotiator enables you to get what you want more often without resorting to becoming aggressive or pushy.  Negotiating with others is more effective than simply demanding what you want or just caving in.   These skills enable you to stand up for yourself and get what you want more often without harming relationships with bosses and coworkers.  Negotiating a fair solution makes you feel good about yourself and increases people’s respect for you.
