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 benefit.
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 fit
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!!!
