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 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.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
