You don’t like it when people get too possessive. Tell a love interest or controlling superior to give you space. You’re nobody’s trophy.
The only time people ramble on is when there’s something to hide. Find a comfortable spot to listen. Their guilty secret will emerge eventually.
You have the upper hand in a conflict, so be nice. Your magnanimity persuades losing parties to yield without a fight.
At first you felt insulted being handed something a rival just turned down, but does it really matter? It’s still an amazing opportunity.
You may risk a reprimand for going out of bounds, but the truth is there’s nothing to be gained by staying inside them.
An unforeseen element comes into play. Can it tip the balance in your favor? Chances are it will as long as you don’t jump the gun.
