Ten lessons in ten minute...

Recently, I have become a fan of A. Dixit and have picked up his book "Thinking Strategically". After reading the first chapter, I have learned ten things that may be very usefull:

1. For every action there is an equal and opposing reaction: I guess kushal would find it amusing that economists are argreeing with physicists...
2. The stuck wheel gets the grease: In negotiation hold your ground; it hurts but it works...
3. Coordonate firsts: and later break the agreement (if profitable)...
4. Personal sacrifice is necessary: but first see if some one else won't do it first and if not don't be quick to stick out your neck...
5. Change it up: mixed things up, do something new everyday and you'll never go insane
6. No deal: if someone offer you a deal there is a catch to it...
7. Look before you leap: need I say more...
8. Don't split hairs: life is not a simultaneous game, you need to be right brain and see the hole picture...
9. Follow the leader: don't be the first at all things, you might actually win by coming out second
10. Think less, act more: this contradicts "7" but if you try to think it out you'll get confused and most people are, after all, acting irrational that your rational plan can't really predict...

I invite you to read Dixit... he's a genius...
