2. Thoughts

Habit 4：think win-win

我們大多數(shù)人都把自我的價(jià)值建立在與別人的對(duì)比和競(jìng)爭(zhēng)之上，有人成功了必定就有人失敗，也就是說(shuō)，如果我贏了你就輸了，或者你贏了我就輸了，但是其實(shí)生活并不是一場(chǎng)比賽。Win-Win的概念是把生活看作是一個(gè)合作的舞臺(tái)而不是一個(gè)充滿競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的場(chǎng)所。Win-Win是指要有這樣的意向和決心：在所有人與人之間的交往中達(dá)到一個(gè)共贏的局面。Win-Win是指解決的方案和協(xié)議是互利并且雙方同意的。

這個(gè)觀念我特別贊成，在外貿(mào)這一行業(yè)呆了這么多年，從來(lái)都是只有win-win才能贏得一個(gè)更長(zhǎng)久的合作。
