Don’t lose sleep over a dispute. That’s why you have an agreement in place. Simply refer to the pertinent clause or line in your contract and it’s settled.
Don’t let a rival know that s/he got under your skin. Be cool. The best way to win a contest is to look like you’re not competing.
Showing you’re as fallible as anyone else is a plus today. It makes you look human. Cop to a mistake – even if you have to make one up.
You’re convinced that someone’s holding out on you. Could it be that this person just feels intimidated? Lighten up and s/he will be more forthcoming.
Others are being demanding and you have no choice but to accommodate them. It’s best to grin and bear it.
People you couldn’t get on the phone weeks ago are ringing you up and asking if you’re still interested. Of course you are, but enjoy playing hard to get.
