7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
Habit 4
4. Think Win-Win
Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to
create an atmosphere of Win-Win in everyday relationship. This habit encourages
the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a
mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments
of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that
everyone can win. It’s both nice and though all at once I won’t step on you but
I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them
to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well.
Win-Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go
around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who
gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone.
It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Win-win
always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win-Win is
the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are
thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and
Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.
Win-Win
will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you
confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.
