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."

  Be Proactive is about taking responsibility for your life. You can't keep blaming everything on your parents or grandparents. Proactive people recognize that they are "response-able." They don't blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. They know they choose their behavior. Reactive people, on the other hand, are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior. If the weather is good, they feel good. If it isn't, it affects their attitude and performance, and they blame the weather.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind 

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)

  Begin with the end in mind means to focus on what you want to be and do. It is your plan for success. It shows who you are, puts your goals in focus and moves your ideas into the real world. Your mission statement makes you the leader of your own life. You create your own destiny and secure the future you envision.

 Habit 3: Put First Things First

"Organize and execute around priorities."

  To live a more balanced existence, you have to recognize that not doing everything that comes along is okay. There's no need to overextend yourself. All it takes is realizing that it's all right to say no when necessary and then focus on your highest priorities. 

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

"Think win-win or no deal."

  Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good!

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood

"Diagnose before you prescribe."

  Some people like to be understood more than to understand others situations. In order to be an effective person, you need to understand yourself then be sure to explain yourself to others and other people will be sure to understand you.

Habit 6:  Synergize

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"

  A habit to be a person who is involved in teamwork is important to work with others. It gives you opportunities to be open-minded and seeing different solutions to problems. Effective people are synergized just because it helps them be a better person and smart at what they do. 

Habit 7:  Sharpen the Saw

Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional

  Being a highly effective person comes with being physically healthy. As in you know how to control your thoughts are manageable towards stress, exercise and maintain a good nutrition. Having a good mentality comes handle as well, knowing how to read, visualize, planning, and writing properly. 

Reflection

  All seven habits add up to be a highly effective person. A proactive person is always taking responsibility for their actions. beginning with the end in mind always makes it precise that you are committed to finishing what you start. Puting first things first, putting your responsibilities ahead of anything. think win-win, don't think about failing always think positive and winning is something you will always do. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood, meaning always understand others and if you understand them they will understand you. Synergize, be creative and cooperation. Sharpen the saw, be a good and healthy person.

Reflection: 

  I would want to come to this University just because it is located in Miami and it would be fin to got to school where people vacation, but then not really because they don't have courses in what I like.  

Vacation

  A goal I have for my self when I have my career going is to go on vacation to Florida. I have seen images of the beautiful waterfalls they have out there. I think they are so beautiful I just have to go out there and see it for my self. The three main waterfalls I would like to see are Falling Creek Falls, Falling Waters State Park, and Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park.

Six Rules to Make People Like you.

If you want people to like you.........

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people.

  If you want people to like you you have to be genuinely interested in the friendship they have to offer.  

Rule 2: Smile

  If you are a type a person with a smile you give people that do not know you comfort to have a conversation with you. When you smile people tend to attract that very well. Having a smile also tend people to perceive you.

Rule 3: Remember names

  If you don't remember peoples names it just makes you look like a rude person, unprofessional, and not serious about what you have to offer. In order to associate with others, you would have to remember what their name is. If you do not remember what their name is you would not know what to call them by and you would not be able to associate. 

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.

   In order to be liked by other people you, when you talk to them you don't just want to be talking about yourself. You want the other person to be comfortable with you, make them feel like you are interested in what they are telling you and you need to be polite.  Listen to what they have to talk about. I am they would go back to you so you can listen to them more and you will end up with a friend next thing you know. 

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest.

  If you want people to like you, you really do not have to try hard. When making the conversation seem interested in what they are saying people enjoy being listened too and enjoy the company. Become interested in what they are talking about. 

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely. 

  If you want people liking you, you would have to make them feel important. Not so much they start to think otherwise from you and get another intention. You can pretend someone is important to you and you are faking it. They eventually end up seeking the truth. Making a person feel important to you overall makes them feel good loved and open. They would eventually enjoy your presents and be your friend. 

Reflection:

  These six ways to people liking you are really helpful in being a good person and having many friendships. People are not always going to like you but these are somethings you can do to help you as a person who would be liked by everyone. I am committing in starting to do these things when I start meeting new people when I'm off to college. I feel like it would be very helpful when going into adulthood.

Las Vegas Mass Murdering 

  October 2, when people went to Las Vegas for a music festival to enjoy their vacation. While they were at a concert some one by the name of Stephan Paddock was planning a shooting. I think this is very terrifying and unfair.

  

The Six Attitudes of High Achievers

High Achievers...

1. Make no small plans: Plan BIG

    In my own words this means do not get satisfied with the basic things you can achieve. If you can do more and be committed dot he most to receive the best on what you do. For example, When you are in class and you are going for a C just to pass your class, no! Go get an A in that class and receive a high GPA so you could get accepted to a University. 

2. Do What They Fear

  People say fear comes in the matter of not understanding. I say high achievers do what they fear so they'd have an understanding of what they fear, so later they wont have the fear no longer. People do what they fear so it wont come to a point where they are held back from achieving what they want because their fears are getting in the way. 

3. Are Willing to Prepare

  High achievers are willing to prepare for what comes their way. To never be caught off guard and they are ready for whatever comes their way.

4. Are Willing to Risk Failure

  This means that high achievers are people who do what comes their way. Not all the time they success  at everything they do. Sometimes things they do end up failing but that is what helps them at the end of the day have so many achievements accomplished. Being a successful person does not come withing. You would have to make goals for yourself to be successful. 

5. Are teachable 

  High achievers are teachable because they manage to keep an open minded towards things they want to learn, and not remain ignorant. They want to learn what they don't know to be educated and know what is going on. They do not think asking questions is embarrassing they believe asking questions is smart and helpful in the long run.

6. Have Heart

  High achievers have heart because they care about people. They also are nice humans.
