Think Win-Win

Habit 4 of seven habits for highly effective teens
By: Devin Berry, Kailya Jackson ,and Niyin Smith
 Full
of pride
 Using other people emotionally or physically,
for your own selfish purposes
 Trying to get ahead at the expense of others
 Spreading rumors about someone else (as if
putting someone else down builds you up)
 Always insisting on getting your way without
concerning yourself with feelings of others
 Becoming jealous and envious when something
good happens to someone close to you
 Find
yourself setting low expectations and
compromising your standards again and again
 Giving into peer pressure
 Being a doormat basically saying, “Have your
way with me. Wipe your feet on me. Everyone
else does.”
 You are always Mr. Nice Guy and can’t stand up
for yourself.
 If
I'm going down you are going down with
me
 Revenge
Examples of a lose-lose situation:
“I don’t care as long as he fails”
“If I can’t have Marcus then she can’t either”
War is also an example of a lose-lose situation,
the whole concept of whoever kills the most
people wins the war doesn’t really sound like
anybody's winning to me
 Everyone
can win
 It’s nice and tough all at once
 I care about other people and want them to
succeed
 And I wish to succeed as well
 There is plenty of success to go around
 Pinpoint
the areas you most struggle with
 Show sportsmanship in the sports that you play; try
to compliment the other team
 If someone owes you something don’t be afraid to
speak up and ask for it nicely
 Play a card or board game without thinking of
winning or losing; do it just for the fun of it
 If someone close to you succeeds, be happy for
them instead of showing jealousy toward them
 Think of a person who you think is a win-win model
 If you are in a lose-win relationship with a member
of the opposite sex go for the no deal and get out
of that relationship
