I try to live in the moment, every moment.
I'd like to add that negotiating is not something to be avoided or feared - it's an everyday part of life.
Very narrow areas of expertise can be very productive. Develop your own profile. Develop your own niche.
I love the values football can teach. It gives young people a sense of how to defer present gratification for future success, it teaches self-discipline, it teaches teamwork, it gives them a bonding experience that can be hard to find somewhere else, it teaches the ability to process large amounts of information and apply it in real time.
The only thing certain about any negotiation is that it will lead to another negotiation .
It is soooooo necessary to get the basic skills, because by the time you graduate, undergraduate or graduate, that field would have totally changed from your first day of school.
Be open to the amazing changes which are occurring in the field that interest you.
