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
