When you're doing your job properly, people on the outside don't necessarily see what you're doing. The most important thing is that those in charge must work to discover the other side's goodwill, so as to seek consensus, and then go forward step by step from there.
而且這些過程外界未必看得見，重點是主其事者一定要努力去發掘彼此的善意，尋找共識，再一步一步往前走。
