Dogs Playin Cards, A Friend In Need - Cassius Marcellus Coolidge
Would they let you play with old dogs in their own game? I bet not.
Through numerous personal encounters or meetings with people significantly older than myself, it seems that discussion about (real) money is just out of question.
Old dogs speak about costs of living, but ignore youngsters possibility to talk/discuss serious money.
The game
Game is about high stakes, where your resources are on max and utilization is at its top. The dogs hold the cards and multiple aces. Coming to table means that you have something dogs really need.
The rules
In their world, dogs just have enough and everything is seen through money, which they hold. The rules revolve around dogs “elderly” right to manipulate and consume resources you desperately need. Calmly, you stand by the table and present the idea.
The bid
They really need your offer. Or they simply need amusement and are intrigued by idea. So, dogs are in need.
The risk
You play on the game of greed. You simply know what is necessary in means of financing, to support the idea. But, before placing the risk think of overheads and risk of some misfortune (sick days, change of team players). You have to include those. Then think about your greed vs. need of dogs. Greed wins over need, but with very elegant placement before dogs.
The moment of taboo
You just CAN NOT talk about money. Let me explain. It is God given right of elder dogs to discuss money. You can not. And that is pure fact.
If their need is strong they will swallow and you will win.
The outcome
Want to be top dog? Ignore yada-yada talk. Push your direction and show personality. If you do not stand up to yourself, dogs certainly wont.
