ReplyDelete#1. Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind.
#2. Pages 74-75 have had an effect on me. The reason for that is because I tend to think about my future a lot and every little detail but, after reading these pages, I have come to realize I should just be worrying about where I want to end up in life. Page 75 had me imagine myself in a year and how I would like myself to be. I shouldn‘t be worrying about all the little things because once I figure out where I want to go in life everything else will fall into place.
#3. I need to let life run it’s course. I usually try to have everything planned out and I try to guess what is going to happen if I make a certain decision. I have to allow myself to live for today and not worry about what is going to happen ten years from now. I have to learn to let things go and not think that every mistake will mess up my future. I need to keep reminding myself about what I want in the future and hope that all my decisions will allow me to get closer to my dreams.
#4. Randy Pausch is an inspirational leader who exhibited this habit very well. When Randy found out he had only six months to live he thought about the future of his kids first. Randy wanted to help them live the best life they could even if he wasn’t there with them. He had to overcome his fears of dieing and allow himself to think of the future of his kids. Randy made a speech in which he told his kids everything that he would want to if he would live to be able to give them his advice.

ReplyDelete#1. habit #1- Be Proactive
#2. Can-Do Tp. 63-65
#3. I always am telling myself that i can't do something, so i am going to change that around to i can do anything that i put my mind to. I will remind myself of thing and work on it by writing myself a note and putting it on my bedroom mirror, so that whenever i look i will see the message.
#4. One leader which demonstrates having a "can-do attitude" is Hayden Panettiere. I think that she has this attitude because instead of having other people do the work for her or just standing by and watching others work for what she believes in, she gets involved. ex- Hayden and other surfers went out to sea to stop an annual dolphin slaughter in Japan.

#2. I learned especially when he wrote "until you feel you are in charge of your life,nothing else is possbe..."(p48)that by blaming others everytime you feel a loss, then you will never be productive because productvity takes responsibility. If we never take responsibility for our actions, then we will not be accredited for the good things we do as well as the bad. (7)
#3. I will try to use proactve language like "i will do..." "i choose to..." instead of reactive phrases such as "i had to..." or "______ made me...". This will make me take control of my emotions and become more stable. (20)
#4.My grandma may not be a famous leader but, she still leads a family and has all the qualities of a leader. She has had a hard life. She was kicked out of her house at 16, she was never wealthy, but she is always happy.She never blamed anyone for her problems, and she never seemed victimized. She always takes responsibility for her actions, and she is always optimistic. (18)

#2. (page 48:) "...until you feel you are in charge of you life, nothing else is really possible..." had specific impact because it taught me that unless you take responsibility for your actions, nothing you do will be accredited to you either good or bad,and you will never get ahead in life. (7)

ReplyDelete#1. Habit #1- Be Proactive.
#2. Pg. 63-65 Can-Do section had had an impact on my life. It taught me that if you take any action upon yourself and believe in yourself you are more likely to succeed instead of doing something because you have to.
#3. The part of my life I would need to change in order to be proactive is I need to go out and just do what I need to instead of waiting for others to do it for me. I need to become more determined and step outside my own comfort zone. I need to believe in myself and know that I can do what I put my mind to. I can't just wait around and expect things to work out, I need to go out and try to help to better myself.
#4. A leader that exhibits these qualities would be Mr. Cayea. He doesn't let anyone but himself control his life. He is always determined to succeed and doesn't allow other to determine his fate. He always believes in himself and his abilities and he helps others to believe in themselves by motivating them and letting them know that they can do it. For example, during softball we were all freaking out about having to play Cleve Hill so he just sat us all down and explained to us that its all in our heads and we just been to believe and put all out hard work and determination to work.

ReplyDelete#1. #4 Think Win-Win
#2. Pages 146-162
#3.This habit would make me change the decisions I make and how I make them. For example, you want to go to the mall with friends while your parents need the car to go run errands. Win-Lose would be you going out and you parents staying home or other way around. But on the other hand a Win-Win would be you parents getting their errands done while you still get to go out. Or you do the errands for them. It would help me think of others before I think about myself and also the positive and negative effects. First I would stop and think about the situation. Then I would think how we could both win and make a compromise.
#4. My mom because she always puts other people before herself and easily demonstrates this. If I want to go out with a friends but she needs to go out, she would take me to my friends on her way out. She always thinks about the situation and deals with it appropriately.

ReplyDelete#1. Habit #1 Being Proactive
#2. Pages 48-54 have greatly impacted my life. They talk about how to be a proactive person, and what positive effects come from it. This section also gives other peoples' stories in becoming proactive, which gives the idea more reality. That being a proactive person is very possible.
#3.My attitude towards negative situations will change. This habit talks about not letting bad situations affect you. You have to take control of the situation and make it turn in favor of you. Also it tells people to take control of their futures, don't leave it in the hands of another person. After reading this I will try to think more positively about everything, and take matters into my own hands. I will not let one bad thing ruin my day, I can now just brush it off and make the best of everything situation.
#4. A leader who demonstrates this habit is Robert Pattinson. He was the leading role in Twilight, as Edward Cullens. This was no an easy task for him. In the begin he did not even want to try for the role because he did not think that he was good or "perfect" enough to be Edward in the movie. With some positive thinking and a proactive attitude he took the matter into his own hands. Robert auditioned for the role with much practice and in the end received his leading role he worked so hard for. He did not let anything get in the way of this dream and he stayed proactive through the process.

ReplyDelete#1.)Habit #1 - Be Proactive!
#2.) Pg.49 - Proactive or Reactive...The choice is yours.
#3.) In the book it says that we have about 100 chances each day to make good choices. we have to be proactive, or reactive.I choose to be proactive, and make the best out of these choices life gives me every day, Because we get so many of them and reading this makes me realize further that I need to make good things come out of these chances, to benefit me, and others around me.I learned that the choice is mine.
#4.) the leader I chose is my grandmother. She is the best example of this habit. She is always aware of others around her, and is constantly looking at a situation, and weighing the possible outcomes.She tries her best every day to create a positive environment for herself and others to be an influence, and to get things done in a timely fassion.

ReplyDelete#1. The habit that I chose was #1, being proactive.
#2. In the book the pages 48-58 greatly impacted my life and views on life because it talks about thinking before acting and making the right choices. By one person taking the high road, others will shortly follow.
#3. In my life I will think about what to do before I actually act on it. Ways I can do this is instead of having the attitude that I will try to do it I will say I will do it. Re-think my thoughts instead of just doing. Making little steps will result in a big difference.
#4. One leader that represents this habit is my dad. He is always thinking the high road. When he gets mad he thinks what to say or do before he just acts. He thinks through a punishment without just doing it. Plus, my dad is always fair. He is always easy to talk to because he has a proactive mind set. He always tells me if I think I cannot do something, that I am wrong because there is always a way.

ReplyDelete#1.Habit 1: Be Proactive
#2. Page 53. It pays to be proactive because there is a lot of benefits to being that way like thinking before they act and bounce back when something bad has happened.
#3.To be like habit i shouldn't concentrate on things that i cant control or things that i cant change. I have to just let life run its course and go along with what it is doing. I learned that the choice in life need to be made proactivly.
#4. A leader that shows this is Lance Armstrong. He is proactive because he went through a lot of bad things in his life and he never gave up and pushed through it. He took life as it came and it turned out good.

ReplyDelete#1. I'm going to discuss Habit number 3: Put First Things First.
#2. On page 110, what shows an impact in my life, is "The Slacker". I'm probably the laziest person you'll ever meet. I love sleeping, that is what I do on weekends and I'm up all night. I also love to eat, and you'll usually catch me laying in bed eating egg salad, on my laptop. That's just pure laziness.
#3. Well, I've noticed living this way, has made me feel kind of guilty, and I don't really feel as responsible as I use too. So I'm going to start getting more exercise. I will start doing some chores around the house to take some responsibility.
#4. My Mom is defiantly not anything like me. She is not lazy what so ever. All you'll see her doing is moving. She's always cleaning, or making dinner, or playing with the dogs or something!

ReplyDelete#1. The habit I am going to be discussing is habit #4 which is Think Win - Win.
#2. The book gave me a significant impact on how I think about life. One would be that I feel that there is plenty of success for everyone. You care about other people succeeding but you also care about yourself succeeding. (pg. 152) Being a person that is not selfish in sports, by helping others succeed to win a game as in basketball. (pg. 153)
#3. What will change in my life to implement this habit is I would have to be doing things that provide good consequences for me and people I interact with. The steps that I will take to make this happen are I will treat other people as I treat myself. I will take my time to listen to what others have to say. I would try to give them advice as what I would feel that would be for their situation. Lastly, I would help people in need.
#4. A leader that demonstrates this habit successfully is mother Teresa. I feel this way because she dedicated her life to helping the lives of the most unfortunate people in the world. By doing this it gave herself inter peace and strength. She also set an example for the whole world.
