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 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, and not a passenger."
The habit 1 is the most important. If you want to make a change, them you are supposed to take he initiative and change our course of life. Remember that you can change your destiny if you really like to.
"I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it."-Michael J. Fox
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)
"When you know where you intend to end up, you know where you are now." (Covey)
If you do this, you will do things better. You need to do things that will get you closer to what you want. You shouldn't sacrifice what you want in the future. Always do things to get you closer to the end. If you have what you want in the end in your mind, you will automatically strive to get it. You must have a plan. This will consist of goals.
"The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities."-Steven Covey
Habit 3: Put First Things First
"Organize and execute around priorities."
You should always put first things first. Remember to always prioritize. If you don't do this, you wont get closer to your end goal. If this happens then you are basically preparing yourself for failure. Always do your priorities first. Never procrastinate. You should organize all your to-do list.
"Effective leadership is putting first things firsts. Effective management is discipline, carry it out."-Stephen Covey
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
"Think win-win or no deal"
If you think win-win, you will get a good outcome. Remember that everyone can win an become a winner. If you think win-win, you dont only think about yourself, but you think of others.
"By the end of it, you never know how its going to turn out. Hopefully if i pick the right songs and put the right melodies on it and all the collaboration works out. its a win-win situation."-Paul Taylor
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood
"Diagnose before you prescribe."
You should always listen first and then talk. After you know the material, then you should pass down the information to others.
Habit 6: Synergize
"The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts (1+1=3)"
To synergize means to cooperate with another or others. Working together is best. Two heads are better than one. It is important to work together to solve any kind of problems in life. When you do, you get new insights and you will be more attracted to others.
"I truly believe in positive synergy, that your positive mindset gives you a more hopeful outlook, and belief that you can do something great means you will do something great."-Russell Wilson
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
The Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional
You should always sharpen the saw before you do anything. This mean that you should take care of your body, mind, heart, and soul. More specifically it mean that you should put yourself first. If you are not healthy, how will you do a good job in other things? How will you focus? Another thing is that you should spend time with others and remember that you not only learn in school, but you learn everywhere.
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe."-Abraham Lincoln
