"we" mentality.

As excerpt from the book I am reading right now;

"When your happiness comes primarily from the happiness of others, you know you've moved from "me" to "we". And the whole problem-solving and opportunity-seizing process changes. But until family is really a priority, this movement does not usually take place.

A beautiful family culture is a "we" culture. It reflects that movement. It's the kind of culture that enables you to work together to select and move toward a "together" destination and to contribute, to make a difference- in society generally and perhaps to other families in particular. It also enables you to deal with the powerful forces that would throw you off track-including turbulent weather outside the plane ( the culture we live in and things such as economic dislocation or sudden illness over which you have no control) and turbulent social weather inside the cockpit (contention, lack of communication, and the tendency to criticize, complain, compare and compete)."
