That was a great read. An insightful piece.
In my eyes, this is the most important line:
"And finally, here is one thing NEVER to do when asking for more money. Never ask for it nor justify it because of your need."
That does not just apply to money. This behaviour is nothing but begging and playing on emotions. Professional people will look right through it.
