Review Of Sean Covey's Seven Habits Of Highly Effective Teens

How do you organize your life? What goals do you have? “The 7 Habits of highly effective teens” by sean covey talks about skills you can use to set these goals and organize your life. The first 3 habits of the book have to do with being proactive and setting goals/priorities and achieving those goals.

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,

During my short time on earth I have discovered that life is filled with deposits and withdrawals, and so far I have made many deposits, including eventful memories, refining experiences, and formal education. Each of these deposits are personal resources that I will be able to make withdrawals from and rely on for future decisions and investments. To me, this analogy on life mimics what the community bank continues to foster and embrace.

Overcoming financial difficulties is not easy, but understanding where money comes from and where it goes would help ease budgeting in that the importance of financial security would prove itself to make life less chaotic in the long-run. Writing things down, organizing money appropriately, adapting to life’s changes, following things through, and actively seeking information is necessary for a “rich” life. For example, goals, as indicated in the book, are vital in determining one’s ability of spending, saving, or sharing. Without goals, the destination one reaches could potentially be financially devastating. Having goals would lay the foundation down for developing new skills in saving money. Saving money is heavily encouraged for good reasons; it gives people a peace of mind, emergency cushion, retirement, down payment on big-ticket items, and an increase in luxurious opportunities or items. Although, most the benefits that stem from saving are not shown immediately, their future-self would sincerely thank themselves for their financial

Communication is one of the bigger factors of life don't you think? In the book “The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teens” it states that, you have two ears and one mouth and you need to know how to use them. If you don't know how to communicate with people good and face to face you aren't going to make it far in life. Also because the deepest need in a human heart is to be understood.

“The strengths for me are adaptability, restoration, individualization, empathy, and relator. Adaptability is easy for me because I don’t like confrontation. I try to just go with whatever as long as it doesn’t threaten my children or myself. Growing up I just learned to avoid bad situations. If an environment is good I deal with it. If a situation is bad I deal with that as well. Restoration is what I’m dealing with now. I need to work on restoration for myself. I do seem to have good advice for others but I lack that in some parts of my life. I need restoration with my finances. So I plan on reading books on financial planning. I have always just wanted to spend money and not save my plan is to educate myself and restore my financial situation.” (Clifton, 2006)
