Overview

You're stuck with a classic dilemma today -- you want to do one thing, and the person you're with wants to do something else. If this conflict is happening in a business context, it's best for you to just let hierarchy determine what happens next. But if this conflict is in a personal relationship, you need to try to put off your own preferences right now. Bend to their wishes, and your concession will go a very long way toward proving to them that you value time with them more than you value the activity itself.
