The over reach

Sometimes we take things too far

taking things too far often doesn't work out

Sometimes we’re on a roll, all is going well, everything we touch is successful and those around us seem not to be able to win a thing.

Then we over-reach.

We get smart, we get cocky, we decide one more demand or humiliation will show the other guy just how good we are.

And everything starts to wrong, because we took things too far. We over-reached

The greatest asset all of us can have is a little humility and respect.

Rather than wanting everything, maybe leaving a little bit on the table for the other guy may turn out to be a wise business move.
