The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 1: Be proactive

" Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it come first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. Im responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."

reflection: This is a very important habit that applies to all of us. We must take charge of our own life. You can do what you want to desire it is all up to you whether it be your happiness or not. You have the opportunities to change your life and path way. It is all up to you how good you want it to be. Since you can change things in your life and want the best it's to you to stay consistent with it. Its your Life you can possible do whatever you want. It's your Rules on how exactly you want to live. Dont let people tell how to live life in their perspective. You have a life you have your own different mind set so everyone's different.

Habit 2: Begin with the end of mind
"Control your own destiny ur someone else will."(Jack Welch)
"When you know where you intended to end up, you know where you are now."(covey)
reflection: I believe that this is a very important habit no matter who you are. Dont let others tell you who to be or what to be. You have control of your own life and destiny and have the power to change how you want to live. 

Habit3: Put first things first
"Organize and execute around priorities."
reflection: This habit applies to everyone and there decision making. You have to make certain things your number 1, things you have to take care of or get done. You can't get or be lazy because then you'll put your task or whatever it might be to side and not be good  for you in the end. If you put the first things you got to take care of you wont have to worry about things so much. You would be a little more stress free since you have to take care of things first before you can do anything else. You can also have people as your priority. Whether it be the one you love or it can also be family. It is like your job you have to automatically put certain things first no matter what it be. Whether it be homework, chores, or loved ones it all matter because it's your priorities. Its the things that matter the most to you and you have to take care of business before anything else. 

 







Habit 4: Think win-win
"Think win-win or no deal"
Reflection: This is a important quote and should apply to everyone. WIN-WIN should be the mentality you should have no matter how hard the obstacle might be or seems. You get to win and destroy any situations that seem difficult for you or anybody else. Having this positive attitude can win you everything that you want to achieve. No one is gonna achieve anything if they have a negative mentality or attitude. All they are gonna think about how things aren't working out and complain how hard the situation or obstacle is. Failure is gonna be in their eyes not focusing on winning. You cant accomplish anything or very very little with that negativity. So you have to stay focused and think positive and you will be guaranteed to have a higher chance achieving your goals.  

Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood 
"Diagnose before you prescribe"
reflection: This is a great habit to actually understand. You have to listen to understand the whole situation whatever it may be. Listen before you talk to understand the other person's perspective. They might be saying and meaning something else but if you listen carefully and let them explain themselves it would change the way on them, It doesn't hurt to listen to the other person and the way they think and feel because we are all different so we tend to say things differently but does not change the meaning or how we feel. Listening is the key to everything because it manages time and gets a better understanding on people and/or certain problems. Listening and understanding is a must to get a solution. 

Habit 6: Synergize
"The whole grain is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)
reflection: This quote is very important to all people living. This quote makes people gotta think and must work together. It is very important because it not only affects you but also those around you. No matter where you are in life you're always gonna have to work with people if you like them or not.
