Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.
A girl named Jenny once told me about her   36   in the world of Lose Win during her eighth grade year before she finally broke 37   :
My 38    with my mom all started one day   39   she said to me sarcastically(讽刺地)，“Wow, you’re sure sassy today.” I   40   it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close myself off from her and never   41   back to her. So every time she would say something   42    I disagreed with her I would just say, “Okay, 43   you want, Mom”
But I really got cold quickly. And my   44    began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s   45   ”and then went back to mop the floor.
“Don’t you ever   46   ?”I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was   47   upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I   48    her how important it was to me.
At last, I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to   49   . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s   50   than fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a   51    to her.
After my blowup, we felt like we were   52    all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always   53   my feeling with her.
If you adopt Lose Win as your basic   54    toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be   55   your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.
