7 habits of
highly successful teens
Habit 6
Habit 6: synergize
Synergy is achieved
when two or more people work together to create something better than either
could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way”
or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to
value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious
fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at
thinking win-win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergy is like
learning to form a V formation with others instead of trying to fly through life
solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t
just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of
getting there is this: learn to celebrate differences.
A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the
drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together
that make up the “sound”. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the
table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more
important than another, just different.
Choose the right.
