7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens (Habit
4)
4. Think Win-Win
Teens can learn to foster the belief
that 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 care about yourself, and you want sucked
at well. Win-Win is abundant. It is 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-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 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. Win-win
or no deal.
