We definitely play to win for our principals, but seek a level of class since usually, we will be dealing with the same agents at a later date on another transaction

Peter,

It is not about winning or losing, it is about enjoying. Our take is those who don't enjoy their lives are the ones who lose.

Interesting question Peter Mohylsky! I think regarding lifestyle, I play not to lose, because you can't always win, and there are situations where winning isn't everything. There's flexibility and there's compromise, and neither is necessarily a 'bad deal'!
