One of the most important skills for anyone in their career is how to negotiate. From that first paycheck all the way to settling on a retirement date, you’re going to have to figure out how to bargain for what you want. My son is a great negotiator and many a times I feel bad for the other person when he is negotiating with some one. An interesting article I came across in WSJ on How to Negotiate Better and Get What You Want (Without Looking Like a Jerk)

7th July is World Chocolate Day.The day is observed as on this date in 1550, chocolate was first brought to Europe. World Chocolate Day is celebrated in different countries in different days. Watch the interesting video of history of Chocolates. Leave in comment your favourite brand of chocolate.

Came across this touching video by Gretchen Rubin The days are long but the years are short. Every moment I miss the preciousness of my boys growing up. And as a grandfather I try to recreate all those days gone by. You might be tired after a long day or tired of listening to the same music with your child nth time (my grand daughter makes me play Itsy bitsy Spider.. at every opportunity she gets), appreciate the moment. This moment will fly off. Parenting is a unique experience. Make the most of it every second.

Loved this cartoon by John Weiss. We are what we repeatedly do. The solution to positive change lies in replacing bad habits with good ones. Habits and routines are our biggest assets in changing our lives for the better.
