Win-Win---The all-you-can-eat buffet

Before reading *the book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens,* I often felt *vanquished* by the people around me. I was not thinking win-win. *To think* win-win is to think that success can be spread around to everyone; I will not be your doormat and you will not be mine.

Of course, there are others who don't (but should) think this way. An example of win-win thinking? The old saying, "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." By working together, we are both getting what we want and no one is on the lesser end of the deal. Can you imagine where we would be if everyone in the world was thinking win-win...
