By "crossing the line of separation" first, you demonstrate your willingness to negotiate. Ask yourself, what am I willing to give/pay to achieve a satisfactory settlement. '

You need have an open mind and accept the concept of both sides. be able to give and take. Research THE GREAT COMPROMISE

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANSWER:

It is better not to learn how to compromise at all. Negotiations are not compromises, as it is negotiation that achieves satisfactory results. Compromise never brings satisfactory results. The Great Compromise is a fine example of exactly what is wrong with compromise. The Great Compromise, while bringing us a bicameral legislative bodies, also directly led to the "three fifths compromise." The three fifths compromise has besmirched our Constitution and gave legal precedence to the idea that some people weren't really people but property and could count, in terms of census of enumeration, as three fifths of a person, so that the States who advocated slavery could have significant representation in the new government being forged. Noting good or satisfactory was achieved by this settlement. The civil war between the states was only postponed and the Amendments that followed which were written to fix the error written in the Constitution only made it worse.

People who compromise can lead comfortable lives, but it is the uncompromising people who make it possible for all of us to be comfortable. We smugly answers questions asked across a world wide web of users because uncompromising people made it happen. If you can achieve whatever you imagine, you certainly can't do it making compromises along the way. It should be noted that compromise is also a military term and when the military is facing compromise, this is never good. We use the term to describe the loss of virginity as a pejorative, when we compromise the situation other people are never happy with us, and when you find yourself in a situation where no matter what you do it won't make the other party or party's happy, the last thing you should do is compromise.

First off, you have to look at the big picture. We are only on this world for a short time. We are 'But a Vapor'. So, when you 90 years old, sitting on your back porch watching the sun set, will the situations we are in now, i.e. the ones in which we need to compromise, really be that important.

Compromising may appear to that we are 'losing' something or someone, but things always balance out. Always look at the situation from the other person's point of view. We can't always view a situation as 'What am I going to get out of this?'

If you practice (even though it may seem painful) compromising, it WILL become easier. If you continue to compromise, people will see that you are a fair person and won't always be 'On their Guard', so they will learn to trust you and realize that you are fair & giving, and they won't argue there side as much, they'll 'Back off'.

If you are debating an issue in which the result affects your job, compromise, but make a point that your method will result in XXXXXXX (positive points of your solutions), and their result could produce YYYYYYY (possible negative outcome). Don't approach every debate this way, and be subtle.

Now, there are some people who will take advantage of this, AVOID THESE PEOPLE if at all possible (some workplace situations are unavoidable).

Agree with people, and make them feel good about themselves. This is the BEST WAY to get what you want. If you have made someone feel good about themselves (not necessarily superior, or dominant) they will be much more willing to agree with you (because they want to continue to feel better about themselves), and will continue to engage you in

conversation/debate.

DO NOT belittle someone or make them feel inferior, they will only be that much more defensive and unwilling to compromise.

Look around, see what you already have, do you really need anymore? Have you heard the expression "Our possessions ending up owning us"?, if not, just reply back and I'll elaborate on that.

Learn to 'Let Go'. You'll realize that life is much easier when 'You're not in charge'. Let the other folks handle things, and take the lead. You'll see your stress level dropping as your responsibilities decrease.

Hope this helps.

AnswerIf you can prioritize what you really need to have from the situation, then chances are you can give the other person what they want since you have "wiggle" room in your negotiation. To do this, you have to appreciate what you need in particular instead of trying to play "winner takes all." This is hard for very competitive people, but if you can do this, it will take you more into the more mature realm of compassion and caring for others. You shouldn't compromise some things!If you are a Christian, there are certain things that you should never negotiate, especially whether or not you are a Christian. Don't compromise anything like how you are saved (grace through faith alone), who you are saved by (Jesus Christ), and whether Mary was a virgin or not when she had Jesus, which she was, as she had never known a man (or been with intimately with one).

Eternal salvation, or whether you can lose your salvation, is another one, as the phrase eternal life as mentioned in John 3:16 proves that along with a ton of another verses.

Another view:

Whether compromising or negotiating, the essential thing is to know what you are not prepared to give up; depending on the situation, that might be easy or difficult. Some things are so central that to give them up would make the journey a waste of time; it's good to know in advance what they are, rather than find out after you've given them away. Remember that the other is having to give something up too; and, most of all, remember that there is a common goal that the compromise is there to help you to reach. Make sure you are as clear as you possibly can be about what that is, that the other/s are equally clear, and that everyone concerned is trying to reach the same end. Then you only have to decide, 'How much am I prepared to surrender in order to achieve this?' - and that is a choice you make every second of your life, whether you think about it or not (e.g., you can't go into the kitchen without 'giving up' the bedroom, or vice-versa).
