These habits are each designed to help you lead your best life. From this book, I have learned to take care of and love myself, maintain healthy relationships with others, work towards my goals, and resist anything that could potentially harm me or prevent me from doing these things.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is like a book full of advice to help teenagers who are falling and is in need of help.

There is 7 habits that are explained in the book, be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek first to understand, then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw. I’ve learned a lot of things from the book like the more you listen the more you gather information to state your own opinion, which i’ve been learned, and make sure to build relationships with everyone so you can gain trust with that person. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is a good book for people who are in need of help and it can also make a big difference in life if you follow and do what the habits say.

Over the summer, I read a book titled, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Convey. The seven habits described in this book were being proactive, Beginning with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize, and sharpen the saw. The first habit Being proactive means not to make choices on impulse. it means to evaluate the situation before making a desicion. for example, two years ago when i had friends that talked behind my back i just moved on and found better friends rather than be mean to them or excluding them out of my way. The second habit Beginning with the end in mind means to think ahead at what your goals are and start working towards them. My goal for the eight grade year was to recieve a 95% or higher score in all of my classes. in order to realize this goal i worked hard through the year on assignments and and sometimes did more than what was expected of me during projects. in the end, though,

The last three weeks I have learned about three habits, and they are; habit 1 being proactive, habit 2 begin with the end in mind, and lastly, habit 3 first thing's first, I have an so learned how to use them anywhere.lastly, how they can/will improve my life for good and help me through a difficult path.

Habit 2:Begin with the End in Mind was probably the habit that hit home most for me. Like most teens I was struggling with my priorities. I have to

The book is very realistic and truthful with what a habit is about and how to build a new good habit. The practice of making something in to a beneficial healthy habit is not an easy task but as author Stephen Guise states in the book many times “willpower beats motivation when building a habit”. The book

The Seven Habits Analysis consists of nine categories, two of those categories make up what is considered the foundation habits from which the other seven habits are built upon. Twelve was my lowest scoring in the category of life balance, to which I expected. I have been in the business of Medical Staff functions for the last ten years, due to the demands of the job, I have struggled for the last nine years in finding an appropriate work/life balance. My position is deadline heavy. There is no room for extensions on most tasks so it is important that my time management skills be impeccable. I have had to rely heavily on the project management team to ensure that I and my team meet the monthly deadlines we are faced with; in addition to managing

In the reading of 7 habits, Covey introduces habit 5 which is to seek first to understand, then to be understood. He mentions the principles of empathic communication and how important it is to know what the problem is before you try to fix it. I feel that people do have the tendency to rush when giving advice they think they are helping, but they’re not. Most people tend to focus so much on how they feel about the situation they forget to realize what the actual problem is.

In habit 3 is about put fun thing first before important things, like when there is a test is coming next week you can do whatever you like and relax but if the test is coming in 3 or 4 days study. I do my homework,and study on time,for example when the test is coming up on 3 or 4 days I study.The book also talks about get your confort zone out and I got my confort out when my friends are here.Also my family and I is going great we always make promises but sometimes break them..Like sometimes when I promise something When I promise to get straight A’s I break their promise. The 4 habit is about life is a competition so think win-win because work as a team or you had to feel the win-win attitude.I haven’t think about win-win attitude Spacing out that is always my problem cause when I’m reading a good book I space out all of sudden. I get mad at myself I had to start over and even I like the book so much or maybe in a conversation but is my fault I let myself space out, even people gets mad at me.Probing is hardest to talk about your emotions that you don’t want to talk about but I still talk about my feeling and

Beginning with the end in mind means finding what you are good and passionate about, and pursue those things. Another great habit would be putting first things first.

Habit 7 is called "Sharpen the Saw". It talks about taking care of your body, brain, heart, and soul. From my experience, I knew I had to care for myself and not worry about

The results of my Seven Habits® (Covey 2015) self-scoring profile confirmed areas of strengths and weaknesses within my leadership style. The two foundational habits of Emotional Bank Account (Category 1) and Life Balance (Category 2) both had scores of 12 out of 18. These two categories assess personal values and strengths, such as integrity, work ethic, thoughtfulness, and life-work balance. My strengths in these areas provide a firm foundation to build leadership skills upon. There is one foundational area in which I scored a 3 out of 6. This area for improvement involves speaking disapprovingly of others when they are not present, which often creates division and does not resolve issues. Improvement in this area will create cohesion

Did you know that studies show that people who go over their goals daily by writing them down, reviewing them, and preparing them, their chances of succeeding doubles than a person who doesn't? Habits (topics) one to three from The 7 Habits of HIghly Effective Teens explain how to become successful, have positive attitudes, good choices, and how to calmly handle some important situations. The three habits are Being Proactive, Beginning with the End in Mind, and lastly, Putting First Things First.

As the book explains “If your ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step you take gets you to the wrong place faster.” (Covey) Stephen Covey says that habit two “is based on the principle that all things are created twice.” Stephen then continues by saying “There is a mental (first) creation, and a physical (second) creation’. And that “The physical creation follows the mental, just as a building follows a blueprint.” He then explains that to “Begin with the End in Mind” one must “begin each day, task, or project with a sharp vision of your desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing your proactive muscles to make things happen”. Stephen then recommend that the reader creates a personal mission statement. He explains that this will help the person to focus and what they want to achieve. An effective way of doing this is to write down said mission statement then hang it up so you can see it every day. This would help a person to maintain their goal in minds to make it a reality. Your mission statement makes you the leader of your own life. By doing this “You create your own destiny and secure the future you envision.” (Covey) However as one might have noticed you can’t achieve Habit two without first achieving habit one.

your paradigms and the paradigms of them. This way you will more likely have a stronger influence. My second recommendation to myself is to stay focused on what matters the most to me. This recommendation came in to my mind after reading the second habit: Begin With the End in Mind. This habit taught me how to live with a purpose. It is based on the principle that things need to be created mentally before they are physically created. For example, a plane is first created in someone’s mind before it is actually built. Effective people determine their own futures. First, they mentally plan it according to their values and principles. Second, they physically create it through their positive actions and behaviors. During my college life, I have always had busy weeks in which I had to deal with lots of exams, home woks, quizzes, and projects. In such weeks, I tend to spend all my time only doing my school responsibilities. However, as Stephen Covey says in the second habit, “most people on their death beds don’t wish they had spent more time at the office!” By the end of each semester, I see myself getting good grades but still not satisfied because deep in my
