Overview
Your kindness and flexibility are good qualities that you should cherish -- but you should also know when to put them aside. Sometimes, you need to get more aggressive, if you're going to succeed. Be realistic: You'll have to search for the balance between too aggressive and not aggressive enough, and this could take some time. You know what you deserve, though, so don't stop until you've gotten it. Are you bending over backwards? Be careful not to send the message that you just want to make everyone else happy.
