Thoughts
看到那個丈夫準備好去度假釣魚而妻子則希望回去看望母親的例子,挺有感觸的斑举,因為生活這樣的例子比比皆是搅轿。大家都有了自己計劃,然后發(fā)現(xiàn)大家在背道而馳富玷,最后總是有一個人在妥協(xié)璧坟,委屈自己,變成了win/lose赎懦。但這樣已經(jīng)破壞了美好的氛圍雀鹃,得到成全的人心里背負負罪感,委屈自己的人也不舒心励两,變成兩敗俱傷了黎茎。然后作者提出the third alternative第三選擇,彼此之間put themselves in other's shoes , think win/win, seek first to understand, 不要妥協(xié)当悔,這樣的效果則是一百八十度大轉(zhuǎn)變傅瞻,彼此能明白對方的熱切需求踢代,彼此都能理解對方的處境,最后能夠更加友好易于接受的解決問題嗅骄,切合"the middle way"中庸之道胳挎。
