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 trust 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 lights. Think Win-Win or no deal.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
