Win-Lose - The Totem Pole
This is an attitude of "I'm better than you" towards life. As long as your always one step ahead of the
next person, who cares right? Wrong. By being like this, you are making your friends, family, and loyalty secondary
to your winning. It's a fight to be the best. It gets you nothing and takes you nowhere. It's what they
call the Totem Pole. You have to be one above everyone else. Obviously, this attitude just won't do.
Lose-Win - The Doormat
This attitude is the attitude of being weak. You become a doormat. You let people wipe their feet
and you and take advantage of you. Then, you just sit there and feel sorry for yourself. No one should ever feel
this way. Take initiative and stand up for yourself. It's not healthy to have a lose-win attitude.
Lose-Lose - The Downward Spiral
Now, this is probably the worst attitude of them all. The lose-lose attitude is what you have when two
win-lose people get together. They, of course, want to be better than the other. Since they both cannot stop until
they win, they will do whatever they can at all costs to beat the other person. Not only is this the worst of all attitudes,
it's unsafe. Try hard to stay out of here.
Win-Win - The All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet
Here is where you want to be. This is the attitude of feeling good about yourself. Here, you feel
like there is so much success in life that you want to share it with others. This passes the win-win on to others.
This attitude can not only help you, but everyone around you. Be nice to people, even if you don't think you're going
to like them and share your happiness with others. That is being Win-Win!
