RE: The Pyschology Of Leaving Money On the Table

For a moment I felt confused, I thought, what am I reading, a love story or an economic publication, until subtly the reading brought me right to the point. What a creative way to put ourselves in context.
It is not always intentional, and sometimes it is conditioned to achieve the goal. It's okay if we assume it as the price to pay and that it will eventually be compensated in profits.
What is not correct is when you are left with the feeling that the agreement has not been fair, and not only did you leave money on the table, but they have reached into your pockets.

Very true! In most cases, it's borderline subconscious with much unintentionality to it. I've come across the familiar experience of asking oneself "what the hell you've just done?" after the act is over and I'm back in this thing we call 'normal mind'.
The feeling of unfairness is usually much worse as it creates the feeling of getting back at the other party in one way or another to make things fair. The goal is always to create a win-win situation where each party walks away feeling that they've gained something. Sometimes, this could mean purposely leaving money on the table.
Thanks for the kind remarks and for stopping by :)
