Growing up is hard

Today, I learnt a very important lesson in negotiation. Get all your facts and info right before you start speaking, and also get them to tell you what they don't want to reveal.

It's a tough balancing act of wants and needs. It's determining who wants it more, and what they would settle for. It's also about 'i-know-what-you-did' and your upper hand in knowing that these are things that they don't want people to know.

But at the end of the day honesty still helps. And being able to take the criticisms and unnecessary scoldings. They are lucky I am patient. Very patient.

Get a honest property agent next time and one that does not try to get short term gains and pisses everyone off. If I could, I would study to be a certified property agent and do my own housing stuff.

And I would not go around shouting needlessly at people saying that they are childish and stupid. That anger does no harm to me if it's unnecessary. And please look at who you are directing it to. Who is the childish one now?
