7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teens By Sean Covey

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,

Although my interest was lost in certain parts of the book, it did teach me a lot about being successful

What Did You Expect To Learn When You Picked Up The Book? To What Extent – And How Effectively – Were Your Expectations Met?

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

I, personally, loved the author's writing, although I did not really understand why she structured the book like so. With each chapter changing different perspectives and stories, it was kind of hard to remember which chapter went with another considering the chapters where out of order. With each story, I was a little annoyed that they just suddenly ended at the end of the chapter. It made me want to read more and more trying to find the next chapter that went with that person's story. It was also kind of difficult to connect the stories. Other than that, she did a marvelous job grabbing my attention. I loved the analogies that she included in the stories. For example, on page 216- 217, one of the mothers told her daughter about a turtle that eats her tears and then creates birds that laugh

After reading this book, I absorbed two lessons from it. One lesson I learned, was that family influence has a huge affect on what people become. I am really happy that my family tells me to be the best especially my parents, who want me to challenge myself so I improve my skills. The other is that I will face some choices that will determine whether I will become successful or obliterate(14) my chances of success. The way the author, Wes Moore, wrote this book was very interesting. It was written from his perspective and from the other Wes Moore’s perspective. This allowed me to see what both of the Wes’s thoughts when they were making choices. My final assignment for The Other Wes Moore was to write a letter to the author. This helped me grow as a student because I really had to dissect the chapters in order to be very

I really liked this book because it was very interesting to learn about how people make life decisions, and that it's okay to change your ideas. I loved reading about the stories he learned from all of the patients that he would help. One of my favorite stories was the one about when a man was an alcoholic and said that he diluted it with water which was sad, but it was also funny. This is why I loved this book because of the real stories that are way more interesting because they are true. It was also

The major themes in this book is to always be yourself. Dont try to put yourself to someone elses standards to be happy, find happiness in what ever enviroment you have and within yourself. Due to him always wanting to be with someone he never really noticed about his own needs. Also to show alot of courage. When ever you encounter a hard time in your life you always need to do the best you can with no discussions.

To my surprise, I did really like this book but mainly the first half. I thought a lot of the points he made were serious problems that most people don’t think twice about. As I said earlier, my favorite example was the one where he related marriage to cars and cars to kids and I think that’s a statement that everyone should think about and live by.

As you can see 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens has impacted my life in a way I did not expect it to. It taught me many different things about life that I was unable to realize on my own. By reading other teens stories it made me realize im not the only one going through these confrontations. All in all I have very impressed with the changes I have made after reading this

Managing Oneself by Peter F. Drucker has transformed the way I look at myself, and as a result, it changed my entire life. When I first read the book I learned many new questions to ask myself such as; what are my strength’s, how do prefer to learn, as well as how do I perform? All of these questions provided me with a plethora of information on how to manage my life and make the most out of it. I use many of the strategies that the book mentioned in my everyday life; all of which supply me with insight into who I am and who I should be. Without this book I would be a different person, I would still be searching for who I am and who I want to be. I loved this book because it supplied me with information on personal matters that have improved

It explains how to increase your willpower to help you accomplish goals and use what little willpower you have more effectively. Some of these methods the authors talk about I have tried to incorporate into my own life such as making a plan for finishing the rest of my degree. I have also started a “to do list” of what classes I need to finish in order to achieve my goal. I already know that my reward for this will be that I will not have to go to class day in and day out anymore. As I stated previously, I really enjoyed the book and I would recommend it to almost anybody, especially those who are in school like I am. I think it would be beneficial to college aged people because it shows how to structure your life to get the most out of your willpower. I now know how important it is to make a plan, track my progress and how rewarding my good actions can increase my overall productivity and quality of

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey is a modified version of his father’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Unlike Stephen Covey, who wrote his book with the audience of adults in mind, his son’s book is targeted towards teens. “ Covey avoids the academic writing style that one will find in Stephen’s and delivers the seven habits model in an easy to read, humorous style that does not lose any of the impact of the seven habits” (Change Management Coach). Being both entertaining and visually appealing, Covey goes deep into the seven habits while adding life experiences of both him and family. Included are also the stories of teens around the country. Each habit builds upon the next; therefore you cannot have habit two and three without habit one. Although together, the habits makeup an effective teen, separately, they each help in different ways, mentally and socially.

“Over two million copies sold” seeing that on the cover of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens I told myself to give it a chance. I had heard many different opinions about the book. Most of my peers were not overly excited when the y finished. However I decided to go into reading the book with a positive attitude knowing if I did enjoy it writing a paper about it would be much easier and I might even learn something. Reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens I saw many ways each habit pertained to my life. Some I felt I practiced fairly well while reading about a few others I knew I needed a little work. The habit I need the most work on is undoubtedly being proactive and the habit I need the least work on is sharpening the

Being a teenager can be hard.
