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 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!!
