Give-and-take is hard enough at the best of times – much more so when you’re being pressured. Nevertheless you make progress with every point you yield.
A dead-end disappears and now you stand on the brink of a range of possibilities. Take your time to assess each and every one.
A colleague is back in your good graces after helping you to escape a tight corner. Include an apology with that heartfelt thanks.
Someone you helped out once upon a time is enjoying a wave of success. Now is the time to ask a favor before he forgets who was responsible for the fairytale ending.
You don’t like asking for help. You’re a pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps type. But after everything you’ve been through it’s OK to put out the call to loved ones and friends.
You tried to talk someone out of being self-sabotaging, but experience may be the wisest teacher. Sometimes people have to suffer the consequences.
