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.
