A GOOD NEGOTIATOR
FATHER - I picked a great girl to marry you.
SON - But, Dad, I prefer to choose my wife.
FATHER - My son, she is daughter of Bill Gates…
SON - Well, in this case, I agree.
Then, the father negotiator go find the Bill Gates.
FATHER - Bill, I have a husband for your daughter!
BILL GATES - But my daughter is too young to marry!
FATHER - This guy is the vice president of the World Bank…
BILL GATES - In this case, very well, I agree.
Finally, the father go negotiate with the President of the World Bank.
FATHER - Mr President, I have a guy recommended to be vice president of the World Bank.
PRES. WORLD BANK - But I already have many vice presidents, more than necessary.
FATHER - But, sir, this guy is son-in-law of Bill Gates.
PRES. WORLD BANK - Well, in this case he can start tomorrow!
Learn: There is no negotiation lost. Everything depends on the strategy.

Someone sent me this by email (my boss, btw).
It was originally in portuguese, so if you find any translation errors, go to hell and try to understand the message itself, dumbass!
