Thoughts 今天开始学习habit 4----think win/win, 即双赢。
作者提出了win/win, win/lose, lose/win, lose/lose, win,no deal这六个方面。其中我印象最深刻的是win/lose 。因为生活或学习工作中,很多人都是想要win/lose, 希望自己赢,希望自己成功,希望自己遥遥领先,别人赶不上;希望别人输,希望别人比自己弱。这样的心态都是因为相互比较而激烈竞争产生的,所以通过优胜劣负,来定位了自己。但这是一种目光短浅,鼠目寸光的眼界,如果一直是自己在赢,周围的人都弱,久而久之自己也会满足于这种"自己很强"的完美感之中,殊不知自己也在变弱!win/lose只是一种短暂的胜利,却是一种长期的失败。
