　　7. Effective communication and negotiating.

　　有效沟通和磋商

　　Give the people in your life the information they need rather than expecting them to know the unknowable. Don’t try to read other people’s minds, and don’t make other people try to read yours. Most problems, big and small, within a family, friendship, or business relationship, start with bad communication. Speak honestly, and then give others a voice and show them that their words matter. And remember that compromise and effective negotiating are vital parts of effective communication.

　　给身边的人他们需要的信息，不要期望他们了解不可知的东西。不要费力气猜别人的心思，也不要让别人猜你的心思。家庭中、朋友间或商业关系中出现的大多数问题，不论大小， 都始于没有良好的沟通。坦诚地交流，就意味你在表示——他们的话对你很重要。记住让步和有效磋商是有效交流的关键。
