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 every 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 tough 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 benefits 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 clouds and
give you the negative feelings.
Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will
give you the confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.
Choose The Right
