关于运气的思考

Tips on negotiating:

Tips on negotiating: People use the term negotiation loosely. But negotiation is about serious, money-making or money-losing business. Discussing salary changes or quarterly goals may involve two parties talking, but it’s not a real negotiation. Real negotiations are about deals and partnerships that change everything and that can make you very rich in the process.

谈判技巧：人们对“谈判”一词的使用较为宽泛。但谈判是关于严肃、赚钱或赔钱的生意。讨论薪资变动或季度目标可能需要双方进行讨论，但这不是真正的谈判。真正的谈判是关于改变一切的交易和伙伴关系，这可以让你在这个过程中变得非常富有。

Remember that most people are not good at detailed negotiations. If you are a poor negotiator, then set a limit on what you will pay or accept and on any conditions attached. Do not deviate.

记住，大多数人不擅长详细的谈判。如果你是一个糟糕的谈判者，那么就对你将支付或接受的金额以及附加的任何条件设定一个限制。不要偏离。

Do your homework. And do it rigorously. What you don’t know or haven’t bothered to find out can kill you in any type of serious negotiation.

做你的家庭作业，而且要严格。在任何类型的严肃谈判中，你不知道或懒得去发现的事情都会杀死你。

The devil is in the detail in serious negotiations. Get all the professional help you can trust. But do not surrender control of the negotiations or the agenda to such professionals. They are not the ones who will have to live with the consequences — you are.

认真谈判的细节决定成败。获得您可以信赖的所有专业帮助。但不要将谈判或议程的控制权交给这些专业人士。他们不是必须承受后果的人，你才是。

If your advisors are leading you down a path you don’t approve of during your negotiations, tell them privately that if they continue along that route you will get yourself some new advisors.

如果你的顾问在谈判中引导你走上了一条你不赞成的道路，私下告诉他们，如果他们继续沿着这条路走，你会得到一些新的顾问。

Never fall in love with the deal. A deal is just a deal. There will always be other deals and other opportunities.

永远不要爱上这笔交易。交易就是交易。总会有其他交易和其他机会。

Avoid buyer auctions. You will pay more than you need.

避免买家拍卖。你会付出比你需要的更多。

The negotiator opposite you is not a friend, partner, or confidant. You’ll get robbed if you think he is.

你对面的谈判者不是朋友、伙伴或知己。如果你认为他是，你会被抢劫的。

Listen intently during negotiations. Use silence as a weapon.

在谈判过程中认真倾听。把沉默当作武器。

Limit the size of the negotiating team, ideally to you. Don’t allow the other side to drive a wedge on your side.

限制谈判团队的规模，最好是你自己。不要让对方在你身上捅楔子。

If you are a very poor negotiator, send a delegate with all possible information about how you would respond in certain scenarios.

如果你是一个非常糟糕的谈判者，派一个代表，告诉他你在某些情况下会如何回应。

Find the balance of weakness in a negotiation. They’re usually hidden, but they determine the outcome.

在谈判中找到弱点的平衡点。它们通常是隐藏的，但它们决定了结果。

Fulfill whatever bargain you agree to in a negotiation. Do not be a weasel.

履行你在谈判中同意的任何交易。不要做黄鼠狼。
