7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
Habits 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
accomplishment 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 feeling it
brings on. The true test of the alternative is how you feel. Win-lose and
lose-win thinking will cloud you 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.
