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 though 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 that is brings on. The true test of whether or not you are
thinking Win-Win r 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.
