If you worked tirelessly and didn't give time for these factors you would suffer both in mental health and physical health.

Habit 4 - Win Win
*Personal achievements are dependent on cooperative efforts which others.
*In the long run, if it isn't a win for both of us, we both lose. That's why win-win is the only real alternative in interdependent realities.
*Work effectively and efficiently with others to achieve optimal results.
*Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good!

A person or organization that approaches conflicts with a win-win attitude possesses three vital character traits:

1. Integrity: sticking with your true feelings, values, and commitments

2. Maturity: expressing your ideas and feelings with courage and consideration for the ideas and feelings of others

3. Abundance Mentality: believing there is plenty for everyone

Example in real life-

Mergers.
When two business have complementary strengths and weaknesses, merging makes strategic sense.
For example, Exxon and Mobil, after consistently low oil prices energy companies were taking a hit, this lead Exxon and Mobil to merge in a deal that was the largest in history.  This deal has proved to be very successful as in the last 25 years oil prices have been tumultuous, whilst Exxon Mobil share price and profits have performed consistently well.
