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 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 in the good
feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win
or one of the alternative 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!!!
