Habit 1: Be Proactive
"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."
what this is telling us that we are in charge of life and that no one can control it but you. this means youre the one that has to control you attitude and not other people. you have to be the leader not follow along what the others are doing. everything you choose is because it's your decision not other peoples decison if you decide to be happy then you should follow that not stop your happiness. for example people put other thing before education which you shouldn't because education is you priority not going out with your friends and doing things shouldn't be doing. so you always have to choose your priorities first other than doing things that you shouldn't. you always have to be in the drivers seat not in the passengers seat. what this means is that you need to be the one that goes up not the one that follows around doing nothing. you have to put lots of effort in your work in order for you to be the leader that way you no more things than the other person. so what i say is for us to put the things that will make us successful first and not the things that are going to bring us down and not give us an opportunity to be a leader. because you being the leader you could lead yourself in the right path and you will be the most successful one. however if you're the follower then you will have less chance to be a successful person and your always going to be depending on the person in front of you and that brings alot of negative things to you because one day you're not going to have the person and you're not going to want to keep going and you'll just give up and that will leave you in bad seen. so always be the captain of your life and not depend on other people because one day there not going to be there for you. you might fail once or twice but you need to keep trying and do your best for you could be the leader.j
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)
what this quote is trying to say is that you should always control your life and not let others control it for you. like if you dont get a question or something you need ask someone not let the others ask for you, you need ask for yourself not let another person ask for you. you will need to learn how to be independent because no one is going to be with you in the long run.you'll also need to help others else if they need any help or have any questions. you need to be supportive to the people that surround you. for example if your friend doesnt have motivation for them to higher their standards. like my friends are always motivating me and helping me when it's needed. you will also need to learn how to appreciate others peoples differences. little by little people will achive independence because people need to train for that because independece is a really hard step that you need to manage. you always have to keep in mind that it's only that can change you. if you're doing bad then you have to change for the better and be successful.
Habit 3: Put First Things First
"Organize and execute around priorities."
what this quote is trying to say is that you shoulf always put the most important things first and not the ones that are not. you should always make time to do your priorities because that is so much more important than investing your time using your phone.for example if you made a deal with someone you always have to accomplish it because that's your priority. the example im usinfg is an epesiode i saw in vampire diaries when this character name alijah made a promise to Elena that he would keep her safe and her love ones. so his major priority was to keep her safe from Klaus because he wanted to kill her. so this is what i think is an example of priority because youu always have to put that first than anything else because it's a pirority.
"Think win-win or no deal."
what i think about this habit is that you should always keep your mindset in winning. you dont have other options for you to pick you need to never loose. you dont have be scared of loosing you always have to be positive and say that you're going to win. you will always have solutions that will be benificial for you. you always have to work for it no matter what. if you want to win you need to the effort you're putting into it. you always have to have the metality that you could do it. you also always have to be mature about everything. you can't be childish because you being childish wont take no where. so always have the mindset that you will win and not loose.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood
"Diagnose before you prescribe."
what i think this quote means is that you shouldn't judge someone if you don't know if it's true. for example if you loose something and you are assuming that soemone did it in particular you should figure it out before you go off on them and make yourself seem bad infront of them. i believe that if soemeone tells me that i shouldn't talk to a certain person i shouldn't judge them for the things that other say about that person i think i'll meet that person and see if it's true because i don't want to be rude to a person that is probably nice. i also have to learn to understand that if someone is mad and their being a little moody i shouldn't push their buttons or go be rude to them to. i will also need to communicate with others for i could get to know them better. if you want to something to someone you need to get to know trhem bettern because that's how you're actually going ot know how to help them. you will also have to listen more to the person that is talking to you. also you will have to earn their trust for you guys could get more closer but you also don't have to take their trustworthy for granted because trust is very valuable. you have to listen more and talk less because people get bored of just hearing your stories you also have to ask them how their life is going because that's how a good communicator does.
Habit 6: Synergize
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"
what this means is that you should practice the parts of synergy. you should have someone to be with like a partner and you guysd will go far. but if you want to fast then go alone. what i think it's important because you should always know who you want to be with as a partner. the definition of synergize "the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effect" what this is saying to you is that you should work together because it's better to work as a team than to work alone. you will be able to work better because you guys will have different thoughts about something rather than one opininion you will have different ones. you guys will achieve more as a team than working independent. you guys will have stronger ideas or choices that you can make. for example i always work together in groups projects for example out idp we need to help each other to complete all our tasks and it would be easier if our group was strong because that way no one will stay behind in anything. so you could always work as a team anytime to get stronger ideas to do something.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional
what this means is that you need to be physical, mental , spirtual, social / emotional healthy. you have to make good choices in order to better yourself. you could be a better person if you have all the four dimensions. in order for you to be a healthy person you have to watch what to eat. but that's not the only thing that it means it also means that you can't harm it in order for you to keep it healthy. mental health is really impotanthat keeps you to have a high self esteem. metal health is what you think of and how you feel. spirtiual health is also important because you need need to have faith in something. you need to believe in things that will help you past thruogh things that you think you could do but it makes you strong.social health is important because that makes communicate with others. socializing helps you keep your mind from sad things. it helps you overcome your emotions that youre passing through you just need to express it to someone for they could help you out. emotional health is also important because you have to have a clear mind about things. and be happy not sad all the time.
reflection: these 7 habits have taught me alotof methods. and i understand thing better about things. it teached about hopw to be proactive.it also showed to control my life and not let others control it or get in it becaus the only one that could say soemthing about my life is me i make my choices not others. also it teaches me that i should put my priorities first because there is nothing more important but to do what i had planned to do. also to have a mindset to always win and achieve my goals. also it teaches me not to judge if i don't know the person because it's wrong that your thinking something bad when their actually nice. also it taught me to synergize with people because it's better to work with a partner than to work alone. also to re new our selfs because you need to be healthy in all the four dimensions.
