47．to negotiate with is to find out what the needs of the other person are and

48．try to meet them without losing all sight of your own goals. Do not attribute your

49．motives to other people. Regardless of personal style, where there are some things

50．every negotiator should not do, even before the meeting begins—preparation is

51．the first step. Before starting any negotiation calculating the goals is more essential,

52．including what you are and what you are not prepared to compromise and be flexible on.
