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, not just a passenger."
what this quote is trying to say is that you have to be proactive to your self in order to be successful in life you have to do daily rut-ins like do more the 21 days for it can become a habit and change you and be happy and be a different person with manners so just follow all the 7 ways and youll be a great person in life
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)
What this quote is trying to say is if you dont control your own destiny or else someone will by you have to be yourself .on imagination the ability to envision in your mind what you cannot at present see with your eyes. It is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There is a mental creation, and a physical creation. The physical creation follows the mental, just as a building follows a blueprint. If you don't make a conscious effort to visualize who you are and what you want in life, then you empower other people and circumstances to shape you and your life by default. It's about connecting again with your own uniqueness and then defining the personal, moral, and ethical guidelines within which you can most happily express and fulfill yourself. Begin with the End in Mind means to begin each day, task, or project with a clear vision of your desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing your proactive muscles to make things happen.
Habit 3 is Personal Management, the exercise of independent will to create a life congruent with your values, goals and mission. The fourth human endowment, Independent Will, is the ability to make decisions and choices and act upon them. Integrity is our ability to make and keep commitments to ourselves. Management involves developing the specific application of the ideas. We should lead from the right brain (creatively) and manage from the left brain (analytically).Time management is an essential skill for personal management. The essence of time management is to organize and execute around priorities.
When we think win/win we hold a belief that there is a third way that can be discovered by collaboration.We believe that there is enough for everybody, and that a creative solution exists when all parties commit to the decision and the action plan.When we think Win/Win or No Deal we commit to the idea that if we can’t find a solution that works for everyone involved, we agree to disagree."Do to others whatever you would like them to do with you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." Mathew 7:12. I really like this quote from the bible because it is a perfect example of the new habit. If the situation isn't a win on both sides, you should not agree because you wouldn't want the same done to you. I plan to apply this habit to my life by thinking on the bright side for both people instead of just one. It is better to find a solution that benefits you and the person you are working with instead of just yourself.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win
"Think win-win or no deal."When we think win/win we hold a belief that there is a third way that can be discovered by collaboration.We believe that there is enough for everybody, and that a creative solution exists when all parties commit to the decision and the action plan.When we think Win/Win or No Deal we commit to the idea that if we can’t find a solution that works for everyone involved, we agree to disagree."Do to others whatever you would like them to do with you.

It is better to find a solution that benefits you and the person you are working with instead of just yourself.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood
"Diagnose before you prescribe."
If you attempt to come up with a solution for a person’s dilemma before you fully understand it do you honestly think they are ever going to fully trust you? Would you trust your mechanic to bill you for parts for your car that he only thinks are broken based purely on what you are telling him is wrong? Maybe unless you know for a fact that the person is an automotive psychic. You would expect him “or her” to take a look at your car and do some work on it “first” before requesting payment, “Right?” If you are the one playing mechanic when someone brings a problem to you; the only really good way to insure that they will trust you and what you prescribe as a solution for them to work with is through your practice of empathetic listening.
Habit 6: Synergize
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"
Synergism is the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the adventure of finding new solutions to old problems. But it doesn’t just happen on its own. It’s a process, and through that process, people bring all their personal experience and expertise to the table. Together, they can produce far better results that they could individually. Synergy lets us discover jointly things we are much less likely to discover by ourselves. It is the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional
what this rule is trying to say is that
Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual. Eating correctly, exercising, getting enough rest reading and learning new skills.The first habit that Covey discusses is being proactive. What distinguishes us as humans from all other animals is our inherent ability to examine our own character, to decide how to view ourselves and our situations, and to control our own effectiveness.Put simply, in order to be effective one must be proactive.
