Middle Man

From experience, the hardest part to being the designated middle man is that not one side is willing enough to take a compromise. This is rightfully true not only in the industry of making profit but also in personal matters, interpersonal relationships and even dealing with oneself.

I personally believe that every human being is born a self-righteous one. And as he grows up, the righteousness becomes a sort of a choice, a pivotal attitude test. He either becomes a victim of his own ego or a controlling one who makes everything measured and balanced. In the business of dealing with people, one may feel the desire to brag and boast, or even gesticulate an idea for the purpose of making an impression. Often, people who get stuck in the middle become the most unselfish people because they get to see two extreme sides of a situation.

This is where the difficult task of a middle man comes in.

People are the hardest to please, and not that there is another set of species.
