Thanks for the input, Don. Very interesting.

I heard it said once that the hardest thing to do in life is to be honest with oneself.

Goes to that "ego" aspect you mentioned...and I believe it.

I consider myself as lucky to have spent some time in my career with a sales organization that shared and mentored us on how to interact with others in such a way as a bond is formed...a relationship if you will.

One of the things they emphasized is people can be divided into 2 basic categories...those who are collaborators...and those who are competitors.

There really is an analytical side to all this.....
