with a clear understanding of our destination .. it also means knowing where
you are going

lose/lose/win and win/win or no deal.

Comparatively few people have had any training in listening at all.

people. Unless we value the difference in our perceptions, unless we value each
other and give credence to the possibility that we’re both right, that life is
not always a dichotomous either or that there are almost always third
alternatives, we will never be able to transcend the limits of the condition.

your nature –physical, spiritual, mental, and social.

all four motivation means exercising all four dimension of our natural regularly
and consistently in wise balanced way. And to be effective, we need to
recognize the important of talking time regularly to sharpen the saw in all
four ways.
