Why should we talk to those who don't like us?

Drawing inspiration from a statement made today by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who stressed the government's need to negotiate with its enemies due to a shortage of votes in the Chamber of Deputies, I would like to offer a personal reflection on this matter.
The phrase "You have to talk to those who don't like us" can be interpreted as a suggestion to approach people with whom we don't have a friendly relationship or who may have a negative opinion of us. Here are some possible advantages of following this advice:
1. Building healthier relationships: By conversing with people who don't like us, we may have the opportunity to better understand their perspectives, resolve misunderstandings, and work towards a healthier relationship. This can help reduce conflicts and promote mutual understanding.
2. Self-awareness and personal growth: By engaging with people who don't like us, we may receive sincere and constructive feedback about our behaviors, attitudes, or actions. This reflection can help us grow personally by identifying areas to improve and developing more effective social skills.
3. Development of communication skills: Talking to people who don't like us may require advanced communication skills such as empathy, active listening, and diplomacy. By practicing these skills, we can become better communicators and learn to deal with different perspectives and emotions, making us more prepared to handle difficult situations in the future.
4. Conflict resolution opportunities: Sometimes, someone doesn't like us because of a specific conflict or misunderstanding. By addressing these issues through an open conversation, there is a greater chance of finding a resolution and restoring the relationship or reaching a mutual understanding.
5. Expansion of social and professional circles: By interacting with people who don't like us, we can create opportunities to expand our social or professional circle. We may discover new perspectives, connections, or options that wouldn't be available if we avoided these interactions.
It's important to emphasize that while there are potential benefits to talking to people who don't like us, it is also crucial to establish healthy boundaries and take care of our emotional well-being. Not all relationships can or should be repaired, and it's important to recognize when it's better to distance ourselves from toxic or harmful individuals.

Buy Your Apartment Now Before Skyrocketing Prices in New York!

No doubt, in the short term, the price of apartments in New York will rise because of inflation and higher interest rates. The inflation rate in October reached 6.2% in the last 12 months. It is the highest value registered in the country in 30 years.

Faced with inflationary pressures, financial market analysts expect the Fed to anticipate the rise in rates, a move that directly influences financial markets and the global economy. High-interest rates cause businesses and consumers to spend less and encourage them to save more, as the money saved is rewarded at a higher interest rate. Therefore, buying a property now is the best option before prices adjust due to inflation and rising interest rates to curb inflation.

Deferring homeownership or not upgrading to a better and bigger apartment is not a good strategy after a pandemic when the economy is recovering.

On the other hand, some owners are waiting for the price increase to put their apartments to sell. The inventory of real estate in New York is already low on the eve of winter when the number of apartments for sale on the market is minimal. So the so-called “bidding wars” will be back.

The use of a broker in New York to unravel the crooked paths of buying your own home will be essential, from researching to finding the desired property, making an offer, and negotiating, and obtaining excellent financing.

I am available at 917-579-2743 or by email at [email protected] if you want to work with a knowledgeable and expert broker who can find the best apartment available on the market and negotiate the purchase.

Selling now new Condo at Columbus Circle 15 W. 61st Street

The Upper West Side of Manhattan has just won a new master piece of architecture. The Park Loggia, the new condominium of Columbus Circle, can be well defined by the proper meaning of the word loggia, which is the name given to an architectural Italian feature.

The outer walls of the building provide a sense of openness to the elements, supported by a series of columns. It is a feeling of pleasure, open space, full of natural light that integrates with the architecture of the buildings that surrounds it.

The view is as wide as a glass tower, but contains solid walls that frame numerous windows. I was impressed by the elegant design of 15 West 61st Street that will mark the area of Columbus Circle, differing from Time Warner Building, 15 Central Park and Trump International.

As an architectural masterpiece, The Park Loggia prices start at $ 2,344 per square feet - 1 bedroom at the fifth floor, 694 sf, for $ 1,620,000. The most expensive unit in the market released by the sponsor is a 3 br - 2.5 bath for $ 6, 825 million on the 22nd floor. The building has 32 floors and 172 apartments. Interested in buying an apartment in this fantastic new condominium? Please let me know. My cell phone number is 917-579-2743.
