You probably don't realize that negotiation happens more frequently that you think. Apparently, all ages do it differently to achieve their wants or needs. Here is a list of my mind:

1. Children demanding their parents to buy them the hottest toys for the toy shop.
   
2. Kids choosing their meals.
3. Women shopping for sale items.
4. Subordinate demanding a pay rise (probably not at this junction) or requesting to stay on the job.
5. Parents getting their kids to finish their meals.
   
6. Love ones disagreeing on every single trivial matters that they discuss.
   
7. Sales trying to persuade a potential customer to buy their products.
   
8. Customer trying to get a bigger discount on the sale items.
9. The list goes on...

Here's a quick read to get you gear up for your next negotiation venture.
