If negotiation is part of your lifestyle, you don't even give it a second thought. You know, you're just always engaged in that give and take. It's a natural. It's a given. It's not a bad thing, it's not a good thing, it just is. And it applies to people in most parts of the world. And that's why negotiation...we get frustrated when we watch, for example Middle East negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. And it's so frustrating to watch, but really it's part of how they exist, their day-to-day interactions. Not bad, not good, it's just a different style. And sometimes you pin your hopes because you've heard this has been decided, but guess what, tomorrow it's been undecided. And so it seems to be kind of continuous.
