Long term relationships need a healthy value exchange. What this means

in simple terms is that you should always remember the equation

WIIFT > WIIFM

WIIFT = What’s in it for them

WIIFM = What’s in it for me

If you focus only one WIIFT, you will be drained or if you focus only

on WIIFM, you will drain “them”. So if at all possible, if you design

your life such that in all your relationships WIIFT is slightly greater

than WIIFM, we have a winning formula.
