What are the seven habits meant for? The seven habits are meant to inspire people into bettering their everyday lives in society. Also, the seven habits are meant to create routine. By creating routine, you or the person that is following these steps can plan out their next move (e.g. When playing chess, each chess player will plan ahead on which move they will make and will try to anticipate the other players moves). We each have points in life that we need to improve on, yet, many don’t hold themselves to those ‘promises’ that they make to themselves to change their ways.
For instance, one of the seven habits that I believe I am good at is habit one. The reason I believe I am good at habit one is because, each night before school I pack my backpack. Also, I start any homework I know is going to be given/due soon (depending on whether or not I get a class syllabus). Considering many assignments/tests/quizzes/exams are given during the four years of high school, I spend thirty minutes at least a day studying my class notes. This helps me pass my assignments/tests/quizzes/exams. Yet, all people need to improve on subjects/categories in life.

As time would have it, another would rise to take the place of Mr. Jones, Napoleon, who represents the Russian leader Joseph Stalin.

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,

But the reason behind why I want to improve this goal right now is because once you are used to a habit it is very hard to get away from it. My strategies in achieving these goals are: by writing things down, making schedules and deadlines and always giving everything a home, for example putting a pencil or USB where they belong. In addition, after achieving this goal I believe that it will make me a better learner for example, I will have more time for myself, my friends and my family, I will achieve balance in my life and improve my professional life.
In the following sentences, the habits are told in order. Habit one stands for proactivity, taking responsibility for your actions and life. The second habit, beginning with the end in mind, means that throughout life, people should know what they want and have a plan, whether or not it is something small or a bigger goal. Habit three is all about prioritizing and putting the important things first so that they do not become so urgent in the future. The first three habits are all about oneself and one 's “self-victory”. “Before winning in the public arenas of life, one must first
Habit 1 : Be Proactive. The Habit of Personal Vision. According to Covey, this habit reflects our innate ability to take charge of our lives. We are not simply products of in-grained stimulus- response reflexes. We have the ability to take charge, plan ahead, and focus our energies on things we can control instead of reacting to or worrying about things over which we have little or no control. This habit allows us to rise above the ebbs and flows of the tides of our day-to-day lives and direct our lives.
This habit, along with the next two, deals with interdependence. This habit deals with genuinely striving for mutually beneficial solutions or agreements in my relationships. Valuing and respecting others by understanding that a "win" for all is a better long-term outcome than if only one person in the situation had gotten his or her way.
Habit 4: Think win-win was not a habit I necessarily liked, but it was one i needed to hear. I never realized it but as we got deeper into the habit it was brought to my attention that my view of certain situations was more on the negative side. It opened my eyes and taught me how to look at everything in a win-win attitude. I had to step back and realize that things were not always going to be in my favor and I cant win all the time. That day I went out to practice and tried to complement everyone on the mat and said they were doing a great job! It was a shock to me how good it made me feel.
We tend to think of habits as bad (smoking, cussing, biting your fingernails) but they can also be good (walking the dog, oatmeal for breakfast, a weekly date with your spouse). THE POWER OF HABIT shows how easily habits form. They rely on three simple things–a cue, a routine, and a reward–and don’t take long to stick. Our brains love habits. They allow us to be efficient. They help us do things like drive a car without constant self-monitoring. Once we learn where the brake pedal is and how hard to press the
