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.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
