Habit #1 - Be Proactive
ReplyDeletebeing proactive to me is when you stop letting people push you around. One becomes decisive and realistic. When one takes responsibility for their own actions and they rise above challenges, they are proactive. An example is when someone has had a really bad day and then instead of blaming people for 'making' them upset, they handle it with an adult manner and talk about it in a calm way until they solve the problem.
Habit #2 Begin With The End In Mind
I beleive this habit is all about setting goals and about what you want to make of yourself. It gives you a place to start by giving you something to aim for. An example would be if one wants to learn how to drive. That would be there goal - to dive. They would probably first take practice tests onlin or from a book or class on all the rules. Then they would have to pass the written exam to get their Learner's Permit. Next they would have to practice their driving. Finally they would have to pass the road test. It may not be easy as that, but it is the general concept.
Habit #3 - Put First Things First
This habit is all about setting priorities to reach your goals. You need to put thing that are hindering or delaying you from reaching your goal off the top of the priority list. An example would be if one wants to pass the SATs they would need to put things like going to a party underneath their prep work. They need to learn to juggle time so they can fit all their important stuff in their schedule before the insignificant things which are not urgant or important like watching hours of mindless television.

ReplyDeleteHabit #1 - This Habit is to Be Proactive.
This habit means being ready ahead of time. A way of being proactive is by not easily being offended and taking responsibility for their choices. You also need to have self confidence, and know that you can rise above what’s wrong.
Habit #2 - This habit is Begin with the End in Mind. You must have strength, and be strong to do whatever you set your mind to, also having the respect for your self and others. Also by having confidence for yourself and others, being kind and courteous, never taking the simple things in life for granted. Express yourself in the ways you want to, and as the best you can.
Also by being a roll model and a leader to others.
Habit #3 - This habit, is Put First Things First. (Will and Wont Power) This is about either choosing to be the leader, or the slacker in the crowd. You must be responsible; having a planner would help scheduling all your days out so you’re more organized. You want to go to places where you have opportunities where you would never have, and in order to reach those opportunities is to reach your full potential. Which means you need to leave your comfort zone, and try not to worry about failure just stay positive with everything your doing and you'll eventually at one point reach your full potential. Another thing you shouldn't do is let your fears make your decisions. Meeting new people, trying outing for new sports, and being more involved! You also must stay strong during those hard times, and overcome peer pressure. You need to try your best at being as successful as you can.
Habit #4 - This is Think Win-Win. All through out life, you will be in several situations where you might not always get what you want. For example, you could have a lose-win situation, or on the other hand a win-lose situation. No matter which it is, it's important to try and compromise with whomever the situation is with. Try not letting people walk all over you. Always try making things as best as you can, no matter if you get your way or not. Competing and comparing is not what you’re aiming for when you want to get your way. Your goal is to compromise.
Habit #5 - This is Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood. You want to have good listening skills, being able to communicate with a responsible adult, or parent. Being understandable to others if someone needs a friend to talk to.
Habit #6 - This is Synergize. Synergizing is everywhere. Synergize is a process, it doesn't just happen. An action plan to being synergy is define the problem, seek their way of understanding others, sharing your ideas, create new ideas, and finding the best solution to the problem. You need to be reflective, creative, plan everything out, being organized also being good at paying attention. Being open to meeting new people is important, excepting everyone for who they are and not for what they look like. Everyone has there differences and we all need to realize them and except them.
Habit #7 - Habit seven is, Sharpen the Saw. This habit is basically where you take good care of yourself, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Eating good food, exercising, getting enough sleep, going for walks, and also giving you time to relax. Eating healthy is very important. Eating junk food all the time is very bad for you, as well as eating healthy then eating junk food then eating healthy again. Smoking and drinking also is a poor habit as well as eating junk food. Another way of taking care of yourself is by reading every day, being kind to others, which will help being loyal which will show you that you also care for your heart.

ReplyDeleteHabit #1 - is to be proactive. This means that even at a time where you are grumpy that you should always think positive. When something bad has occured you should still think of what the good things in the situation.
example)If you lost your soccer game at least you had fun playing with your friends and that you will get them next time.
Habit #2 - Begin with the end in mind. i think that this means that you should think of what you want in life and work towards that. You can do this by trying now and working hard to get a good career and family.
example) Work hard and school and study. Get good grades and then you can end up being a successful lawyer and get a good income.
Habit #3 - Put first things first.
This means to me that you should prioritise your time. Think of what is important to you and learn to make sacrifices. This way you learn how to be more independent and resposible.
example) Instead of going to the movies with your friends you got called into work to take your friends shift like you promised.
Habit #4 - Think win/win
This habit means that no matter what situation you are in to always think positive and try to work our a schedual that is not only good for you but whoever else is envolved with it. This habit teaches you how to not just think about yourself and what you want but to think of others as well.
example) You want to go to the mall but your mom wants to go grocery shopping. You both talk it over and make a compromise to go grocery shopping first then go to the mall after.
Habit #5 - Seek first to understand then to be understood. I think this means that before you say what you think you should do to try and understand what others are saying first. That you have to learn to listen to other people because in life you will be doing this a lot.
example) you are planning a party with friends and you think you should do a suprise birthday party but your friends want a nice formal dinner instead. Make a compromise and do the dinner one night and the party after.
Habit #6 - Synergize
This habit means that two heads are better then one. You learn how to cooperate with others, keep an open mind, teamwork, and lastly an adventure to finding new solutions to problems.
example) you are working on a project and you all brainstorm ideas on how to put accurate information on the poster board.
Habit #7 - Sharpen the saw
I think that this means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have-you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of body, soul, brain, and heart.
example) When your boyfriend is pressuring you to have sex that you should only do it when you are ready otherwise it is not good for your body, brain, soul, and heart.

ReplyDeleteHabit #1 - Be Proactive.
To me being proactive is taking control and responsibility for my life and having the will power to change the way we respond to situations.
People have control over if they are happy or not the sooner they learn to take responsibility the sooner they will be happy.
Habit #2 - Begin with the end in mind.
To me beginning with the end in mind means setting goals for the future and then take paths to better reach your goal.
I want to get out of college out of debt and be remembered for something therefore I am choosing to go into the Army National Guard ROTC Program because they pay for college and I will always be remembered for serving my country.
Habit #3 - Put First Things First.
To me putting first things first is a way to prioritize your time with more important things that will better you for life rather than putting something first that will only better you for a short length of time.
Talking on the phone with your friend about going to watch the hockey game tonight or studding for a test that you have next week, studding for the test should be more important for your future so you should put it before talking on the phone.
Habit #4 - Think Win/Win.
Trying to turn situations that could be negative for one person into a positive situation by making compromises. If you want to take the car with your friends to the mall, but your parent wants to take the car to go visit her friend.
You could take your mom to her friends house then go to the mall with your friends and pick your mom up on the way home.
Habit #5 - Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood
To me seeking to understand then to be understood means that if you pay attention to others and try to understand where there coming from first and then share your opinion you can draw well round conclusions about things.
You wanna go to concert that goes until midnight and then go to a party but your parent want you home. If you listen to why they think you know it's because they don't want you out all night. You tell them you wanna go because a kid you like is there. You and your parents decide that you can go if you are home by one thirty.
Habit #6 - Synergize.
To me synergize is accepting people's difference and learning to use there difference to understand them better.
Somebody in your class is always dressing weird and all the kids pick on her. You take time to accept her and learn that she is an artist and likes to dress how she feels.
Habit #7 - Sharpen The Saw.
Taking time to renew your energy and learn to not overwork yourself.
A girl really wants to make the competition team for dance she takes frequent breaks and when it comes down to the day of tryouts she is calm and relaxed so she does really good and makes the team.

ReplyDeleteHabit #1 - Be Proactive: Principles of Personal Vision. I think that this is the basis of all further habits and a cornerstone of success. You will influence your life more than anyone else. You have the opportunity to use your free will and hard work to change yourself and your circumstances. You are only a victim if you allow yourself to be — if you are reactive rather than proactive. The emphasis of this habit is to do whatever is in your power to improve your situation.
Habit #2 - Begin with the End in Mind: Principles of Personal Leadership. I think that before you start something sit down and plan it out. A little planning will usually save you a lot of actual work later. Use your creative forces to create images and plans in your head first, and then carry out your plan. The plan is called the first creation; the second creation is formed when you carry out the plan, and its success depends on a well thought out first creation.
Habit #3 - Put First Things First: Principles of Personal Management. i thank that before you decide which of your values and goals are most important, then determine what steps will best achieve those goals. Basically it means doing life with your values in hand. It means defining your idea of success in life from the image you would like to leave in the roles that you assume like (spouse, grandparent, voter, and activist). The idea is to have these clearly defined and on a piece of paper.
Habit #4 - Think Win/Win: Principles of Interpersonal Leadership. Many people grow up with a competitive mindset ("I win, you lose"), a beaten-down mindset ("I give up, do what you want to me"), or a mix of these and other mindsets. Each of these has its place. However, for you’re most valuable family and business interactions, the most mature and effective goal is usually to seek situations which benefit everyone involved. When you negotiate you should seek to make deals that help everyone. In cases where this is not possible, it is best to have the mindset from the outset that you will walk away from the deal ("win-win or no-deal").
Ashley M. (part 2)
ReplyDeleteHabit #5 - Seek First to Understand, Then to be understood. To influence and help others, you must first actively listen to them and understand their situation and concerns. It is most effective to listen actively and empathetically, consciously trying to understand and to see the world from the other person's perspective. It is also beneficial to listen without judging. Avoid "hearing" through a filter formed by your own worldview, and do not impose your preconceived ideas on what you hear, because doing so will inhibit your efforts to put yourself in the other person's shoes.
Habit #6 - Synergize Principles of Creative Communication. This habit deals with teamwork and opening yourself emotionally to work with other people. Optimistic, emotionally-charged individuals who are living out the previous habits can work together in amazing ways and see new paths none of them would have found alone. One plus one is three, or more, when these "third alternatives" appear. This synergy is a bit chaotic but is also fun and stimulating. When you use synergy you are also improving your spiritual, emotional and social side of your life.
Habit #7 - Sharpen the Saw: Principles of Balanced Self-Renewal.
Take time to rejuvenate yourself and help prepare you to work better in the future. This often means relaxing, enjoying nature, meditating and praying, reading Scripture or great literature, listening to classical music, and spending time with high-quality relationships. Body: Exercise for a sense of well-being. Mind: Exercise to sharpen the intellectual abilities. Spirit: Exercise with meditations and inner reflections. Heart: Exercise care for important relationships.

ReplyDeleteHabit #1 - Be Proactive.
It means to manage your time and plan ahead.
ex: If you have a test and a project due on the same day at the end of the week. You have to plan ahead to know when you're going to have time to study and when you can do your project.
Habit #2 - Begin With the End in Mind.
It means that you have an idea of what you want in the future, so you do things that would entail you to achieve that goal.
ex: I want to become a fashion designer and go to college in New York City for fashion. Knowing what I want to do, I work on my portfolio in art and i keep my grades up high.
Habit #3 - Put First Things First.
It means to know how to prioritize yourself.
ex: If someone had to choose between their family party and going to a party for their friend. That person would have to choose between the parties and think about what one is most important.
Habit #4 - Think Win/Win
It is a mental way of life. It's not just me and it's not just you, it's both of us. If you care about others you want to see them do well, but you also want to see yourself succeed.
ex: You get a promotion at work and want to celebrate. You celebrate with the people that helped you to achieve your promotion.
Habit #5 - Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood.
It means that you want to first try and understand the other person's point of view. It'll be easier to talk to that person and try and open up if you understand where they are coming from. Then you want to try and have them understand you. It's always harder for us to open up. But it will build on your relationship with that person.
ex: You got in a fight with your friend. You go back later to talk to her. You get her point of view and then you explain why you got mad at her.
Habit #6 - Synergize
Synergy is everywhere in nature. It's celebrating differences, teamwork, open-mindedness, and finding new and better ways to do things.
ex: If you moved to a new school and knew nobody. You had to be open-minded and embrace the differences of the new school.
Habit #7 - Sharpen the Saw
If you take the time to keep yourself in good physical, mental, and social condition it will pay off.
ex: Someone that doesn't feel good won't appear to look good. But if someone feels good it shows. You find that person to have a certain quality that is appealing and they radiate good vibes.

Example: The ability to observe your own life and learn how to act on certain decisions.
Habit #2 - Begin with the end and mind
I think that this means that what you make in life now is how good your life will end up. The harder you work in school the better job you will receive in the future and also have a good income. So pretty much what you put in life is what you will get out of it.
Example: I passed all of my regents by studying and I got into a good college.
Habit #3 - Put first things firsts
I believe that this means if you priorities good and learn to take sacrifices in your lifetime that it will pay off. The more you are responsible for and learn to say no to things that are not as important then you will succeed in life.

Habit #4 - Think win/win
I think that this means it is better to always think of a situation where both people are going to win in the situation.

Habit #2 -Begin with the End in Mind

Habit #3 - Put first things first.
I think this habit means making important things as top obligations than other things that aren't as important. Keeping things organized and learning to make scarifies for things that aren't as important. An example of this would be you could stay home and work on a project that is due in two days or you could go to the mall with your friends. Ultimately staying home and working on your project would be a better choice.
Habit #4 - Think Win Win
I think that this habit means that each person in the situation will somehow benefit from it. Every person has a win-win attitude and is willing to compromise on a solution. An example of this your mom needs to go shopping but you want to use the car to go the movies. Instead of one of you changing plans you mom drives you there. goes shopping and than picks you up.

You have an important project to do that's do in one month.
But you put it off like it's a regular assignment. Next thing you know it's a day before it's due and you start freaking out because of it.
Habit #4
Think Win/Win to me means that during certain situations you think abouthow the outcome will affect both you and the others. Think Win/Win means that you think it will positively affect you and the other. But there are also negatives to this such as Win/Lose, Lose/Win, and Lose/Lose.
Your mom wants to use the carto go grocery shopping but you want the car to go to the mall. A Win/Lose situation would be you getting to go to the mall but your mom doesn't get to go grocery shopping.
Habit #5
Seek First to be Undersand, Then to Be Understood means that you first listen to other people opinions before you listen to your own. That you pay attention to what they have to say and learn from it.
You want to go to a party that you know you're parents won't let you go to but you argue with them anyway. Instead, you can listen to their point of view and see why they won't let you go and maybe make a compromise.
Habit #6
Synergize means to learn how to accept different things and work together to achieve things.
A new kid comes to your school from Cuba and all of the kids don't talk to him because they think he dresses wierd. You start talknig to him and you find out that he is a pretty cool kid and as a lot in common with you.
Habit #7
Sharpen the Saw
I think Sharpen the Saw means to enhance something about you that can help live a better life.
You are training for the big game non stop and you're really tired all of the time. You decide to take it easy for the next couple days but still stay in shape. You end up winning the game because of your choice to relax and let your body take a rest from all the working out.

ReplyDeleteHabit #1 - Be Proactive
Habit 1 tells you to take charge of your life. You need to make your own decisions or someone else will control your life. There are some things in life that we can't control like the color of our skin, the weather or who our parents are. We have to learn how to deal with things that we don't like or can't control. We can't control the rude comments people say but we can control the way we react to them. Staying true to yourself will get you far in life and will allow you to take on any situation that comes your way. An example of habit 1 is driving. You can't control how people drive but you can control how you react to people who are cutting you off or driving to slow. Instead of flipping them off or honking your horn, you need to be patient and understand that not everyone is perfect.
Habit #2 - Being With The End In Mind
In life you have to know what you want. With this habit you have to define your missions and goals in life. Don't let anything stop you from doing what you want. Writing down your dreams and putting them somewhere where they are visible can help you achieve them. Allowing labels to define who you are can break your goals. You just have to know what you are you no matter what label you are given. Starting college is where you have to being with the end in mind. You should know what you want to do before you start college. The classes you take a crucial in allowing you to achieve your goals or not.
Habit #3 - Put First Things First
Habit 3 means that you need to prioritize and do what is important first. It is essential that you distinguish between important activities and urgent activities. A great skill is the ability to manage your time. I think that organizational skills are the key to success. Knowing what the big rocks are in your life is pretty important. Not taking risks is a big risk in itself. In your comfort zone you are familiar with everything. In this zone there is no potential to reach your goals. Stepping into a the courage zone may be uncomfortable and force you to try things you have never tried. Being in the courage zone will allow you to reach your full potential and you have greater chances to achieve your dreams. An example of where you would have to put first things first is choosing whether to go to your grandma's wedding or going to mall with your friends. I would go to my grandma's wedding because family should come first. Your friend will understand.

ReplyDeleteHabit #4 - Think Win-Win
Think Win-Win is a habit that I think a lot of people need to practice. It means that people need to think about what other people's needs are and then think about themselves. Sometimes it can be hard to incorporate everyone's needs into one. It is unhealthy to always put your needs last. Saying no to what you want to make someone happy isn't what this habit is about. Unfortunately, I do that a lot. For example, my dad was getting married to a girl that I did not like. They asked me to be in the wedding so against my better judgment I said yes because it would mean a lot to my dad for me to be there.
Habit #5 - Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood
Habit 5 is when you need to listen to people sincerely. Pretending to listen is not the right thing to do. We usually want people to listen and help with situations such as relationships, parents divorce or a death in the family. But having a friend that isn't really listening can make you wonder if they really care. Sometimes really listening to a person and commenting on what they are talking about can show that you really do care. Also, when you are listening to someone you should be presenting good body language and eye contacts. Communicating with parents can be another problem in itself. When parents say no, teenagers usually don't think about why they said it, they just think that their parents are being mean. Stepping back once in a while and think about where your parents are coming from can help you understand why they make the decisions they do. For example, when your parents told you that you couldn't stay out until 12 am. You didn't even realize that you were leaving to go on vacation early the next morning. After you had a big meltdown you realized that they made the better decision.
Habit #6 - Synergize
Synergize is when you work together to achieve more. In habit 6 you have to think of others needs as well as your own to figure out a way to incorporate everyones needs. Doing something because it just benefits yourself is not synergizing. You should be celebrating differences and other people's talents instead of looking down on them because they are different. In order to achieve synergy you have to know what the problem is. Then, you have to listen and understand the needs of the other person. After you understand completely, you have to tell your needs and make sure that they are understood. Together you both have to find something that benefits both parties. My friend had a broken wrist. We had planned to go to the amusement park 2 months ago. Instead of leaving my friend bored at her house, we decided to go somewhere where she could have fun too even with her disblility.
Habit #7 - Sharpen The Saw
This habit is all about keeping yourself and your soul clean. You can achieve this habit by taking time out of your day to reflect on your life and the activities of the day. Building relationships, eating well, and keeping a journal are all ways to "sharpen your saw." An example of habit 7 would be when you are stressed out from a long day at school and you have a lot of homework. You should take five or ten minutes to go take a walk and replenish yourself.
