It Takes Two Reasonable People To Come To A Reasonable Agreement

It's important to be truly reasonable when seeking to settle a difference with another person.  The other person also has to be committed to arriving at a reasonable solution.  Successful conflict resolution isn't about one person winning and the other person losing.  Everyone's reasonable opinions and requests need to be respected and honored.  When both parties' can meet in the middle there is an understanding that success is a joint effort.  People who just want to win and put down the other person are setting themselves up for failure.  Life is a joint and not a solo venture.
