3 Life-Changing Habits for Success You Can’t Afford to Miss

Synergize: Finding Meaningful Relationships with People and Results

• Due to its no-nonsense approach, Think Win-Win is a personal-development guide that teaches us to form relationships and exchanges where everyone involved gets a fair reward.

• In school and college, we are taught to compete with others — the best grades, winning in sports, etc.

• In the real world, it’s not about competition, it’s about collaboration. We should take the path built on win-win scenarios!

• To build real relationships with people, to understand what they need, you have to listen to them. We cannot respond in a way that benefits all ofus if we do not understand.

• For instance, imagine you are entering a shop with a fixed budget and specific ideas of the phone you want, —sb—a shopkeeper without asking your needs—enlightens you— shows you a phone, so it is in his benefit—how would you react? Would you go back to that shop? It emphasizes the importance of listening to people in order to learn what they needed the most.

Next Habit: Synergize – The Importance of Teamwork

• Synergize, a lesson that emphasizes that the wholeness of people working together produces much better results than anything we could produce alone.

• A parable explains: Two pals are wandering in the woods, famished, and see an apple tree. Both are too short to reach the apples. One friend climbs onto the other’s shoulders and they are able to pick the apples easily that way.

The kind of story that demonstrates what working together can accomplish.

Synergy is about acknowledging the uniqueness of each person and collaborating toward a broader result.”

 Sharpen the Saw — The Balance Of Life

• Sharpen the Saw is about taking care of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

• A parable summarizes the idea: There is a woodcutter who works harder than anyone else with a dull axe. A passerby suggests that the woodcutter should sharpen the axe so he can work more effectively, to which the woodcutter replies, “I don’t have time to sharpen the axe.”

• And being careless about self care can lead to being out of touch. As the woodcutter would do well to sharpen his axe, so too will we need to balance every aspect of our health for lasting success.

• Constantly honing ourselves — physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually — allows us to achieve our goals more effectively.
