Negotiating- The Art, a small story!!!

I think there is an art to it it’s a craft, the negotiating training this morning in the office and the reason, negotiating it be is because it’s the one area of the deal where people need me the most and they need me the most they think I have the most confidence and the confidence that I have going to the deal comes from experience and it comes from honestly – practice practice practice because no matter what you’re selling you’re selling. Two different people you’ve got a seller and a buyer and in every negotiation you’ve got price you’ve got pressure and you’ve got persistence those are the three P’s remember that is it can be a nice little instructional.

An iPhone cost to make now you’re not going to negotiate the price of an iPhone because there’s too strong demand but let’s say there wasn’t strong demand then you can negotiate or you can find a retailer who’s going to sell it to you for cheaper because it doesn’t cost nearly as much to make that phone. As it does for you to buy it real estate is the same way a deal that’s listed from 10 8 down to 10 so 10 million bucks the offer originally came in at 8 million dollars okay that seems like it’s way too far apart. If I go to the seller he’s going to say you got to come up they’re going to say oh no this is my offer so what do you do what do you do you remember the price you want to try to get – which in this instance was around 8 and a half that’s where we thought we’d get a deal done and the legacy price what the seller paid seller paid six point five. So, even at our low terrible awful offer that sellers making money that’s a good thing to remember and to consistently remind each side and then you let time saturate the emotions of the deal and you use repetition you only paid six five even if this bullshit offer you’re making money.

The Art of Negotiation in Project Management

There are clients who are losing million and they use pressure right the fear of a falling market and the fear of missing out every seller fears they’re not going to get their price going forward because maybe the market could change every buyer has a little fear that they’re going to lose it a little fear they’re going to miss out and then you’re trying to find the price in the middle where both sides will say we came to that number because that’s the max or the minimum that I’m willing to go to get this deal done.

How to stay positive always?

Positivity is crucial in our day to day life. To feel positive, we need to work on our perspectives, our outlooks towards life. With a positive attitude, one can become more confident, and confidence is the key to success, as we all know. But, positivity takes a setback whenever we face hard, rough days. Now, that is precisely the moment when you need to look through the difficult times and hold on to the ray of hope, otherwise known as positivity. Here is a list of ways, following which you can move past the negativity and welcome your life’s positive values.

List of Ways to become more Positive

  • Always look at the brighter side

Most important point to become more positive, is to always look for the happy moments, cheerful memories, whenever you face a difficult situation. You need to become optimistic, and think of the brighter side; only then, you will be able to come out of negativity.

  • Choose to stay with positive-minded people.

You cannot choose your family members, but you can definitely choose your friends. Hence, you need to make a suitable choice when it comes to your peer group. Don’t go for an unstable environment, and know when to leave. To stay positive, you need friends who make you happy and values you. Don’t mix with the wrong crowd. It would inevitably affect your mental health.

  • Think before you act

This is extremely important. We tend to act first, which ends in disastrous consequences, leading to negative thoughts. Always think about the results, take slow steps, and you will reach success in no time. Don’t hurry or choose crooked methods. They would only lead to the feeling of guilt, and you would fall in the trap of negativity.

  • Don’t overexaggerate situations

We, as human beings, tend to overexaggerate certain situations, and overthink about the consequences more, rather than working on the present. This tends to self-doubt and low confidence levels. Many times, we face anxiety or nervous breakdown due to overthinking. This should be severely neglected, and not all encouraged. Try not to panic and put your mind only on the present situation rather than anticipate the future.

  • Get rid of your Fears

Fear is the only feeling that holds us back. To gain a positive outlook, you need to face your fears. Facing your fears would lead to increasing of more confidence and positivity in life. You need to do the impossible, achieve the extraordinary, and only then realize how easy it is to live without fear. Positivity leads to self-independence, which is extremely important for everyone.

Positivity is exceptionally essential, and it should be preached everywhere. People miss out on the decisive moments in life, out of fear, out of staying with negativity. You need to search for the light and come out of the dark. We all should work on ourselves and get rid of our negative approach towards life. It is only through positivity, we can achieve heights and stand tall, happy, and cheerful always. So, let’s work on our outlook, and towards a better, positive future.

How Depression Impacts the Immune system!!!

Major depression is a common and sometimes fatal disorder that has been identified by the World Health Organisation as a leading cause of disability worldwide. While antidepressants are undoubtedly effective treatments in about 70% of cases, a substantial proportion of patients remain partially or totally unresponsive to treatment. There is no simple explanation for treatment resistance but there is a possibility that the current antidepressants do not effectively target all of the pathological processes that are responsible for the major symptoms of depression. Thus there is an urgent need to broaden the targets upon which antidepressants are considered to act.

The concept of a disordered immune system playing a major role in the mental state can be traced back to antiquity. However, it is only in the past 30 years or so that clinical and experimental evidence has been obtained clearly demonstrating that aspects of both cellular and humoral immunity were dysfunctional in major depression. In the past 20 years, attention has been directed to the role of the immunomodulators and immunotransmitters, in particular the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, Maes and coworkers reported that interleukin-6 (IL-6), a major proinflammatory cytokine, was increased in the blood of depressed patients.

It was also apparent that about 45% of patients being therapeutically treated with the proinflammatory cytokine interferon-alpha (IFN) developed major symptoms of depression that terminate when the cytokines was withdrawn. Recently a meta-analysis of 9 cytokines in major depression in which 24 studies were assessed concluded that only the basal levels of IL-6 and TNF were significantly raised. Such clinical observations suggest that proinflammatory cytokines contribute to the major symptoms of depression and now forms the basis of the inflammation, cytokine or inflammatory response hypothesis of depression.

When considering cause and effect, there are three possibilities that may explain the tie between depression and immune system:-

  1. Depression may weaken the immune system and cause increased susceptibility to illness.
  2. Major or long term illnesses may cause mood disorders such as depression.
  3. In some cases, illnesses or conditions may be caused by the same triggers as depression.

New research published has taken an exciting new approach, offering hope for those who currently don’t have effective treatments. It’s part of a growing evidence base that shows our immune system can directly affect our mood – and for some may even be a cause of their depression, rather than a consequence of it. Essentially, we are learning that our immune system can alter the workings of the brain. With around one-third of depressed patients showing consistently high levels of inflammation.

It comes down to the inflammation that is part of the immune’s system response to danger. It is a hugely complicated process that helps our body fight off hostile forces. But if the inflammation gets out of hand then it can cause damage to our body and brain.

Treating Depression and improving Health:-

  1. Get in a Routine:- If you are depressed, you are really in need to get in a routine. A routine will help to stay busy and keeping away the negative thoughts.
  2. Set goals:- When you’re depressed, you may feel like you can’t accomplish anything. That makes you feel worse about yourself. To push back, set daily goals for yourself.
  3. Exercise:- It temporarily boosts feel-good chemicals called endorphins. It may also have long-term benefits for people with depression.
  4. Eat Healthy:- There is no magic diet that fixes depression. It’s a good idea to watch what you eat, though. If depression tends to make you overeat, getting in control of your eating will help you feel better.
  5. Get Enough Sleep:- Depression can make it hard to get enough shut-eye and too little sleep can make depression worse.

These are the five things one need to give priority to, during depression. Other things a person could do to feel good is engaging in fun activities. They would do really good to the person who is depressed. Next thing we could do is to consult a psychologist.
