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 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 or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and Lose-Win
thinking will cloud 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.
