“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Helen Keller

What she is trying to get through our heads is that if you work alone on a group project the chances of you getting it done quick are very slim and it would be different if you work on the project with more than just yourself that way you can interact with people you have never met and it gives you more ideas to the project because you have every ones point of view.

One example can be when I was fixing my stepdads car and I seen a lot of my friends that were saying if I needed help to get it done quick so we can all kick back and relax but instead I chose to tell them that I can do it by myself and it took forever to fix until I regretted it and I told them to help.

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking win-win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound”. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It’s impossible”

Ezra T. Benson

Well I agree with this because every time I do something wrong I never feel right about it because it’s the things I have done that make me always feel bad about what I did. Also I agree with her because I know for a fact that nine out of ten times that all those who did wrong are all going to feel very bad about what he or she has done wrong.

One example can be when I had gotten searched  by Mr.c  and I was going to lie to him and tell him I don’t have anything on me but the fact that he was going to still search me and he got all my stuff that I was not supposed to have and in the end I felt really bad because that was the second time  I had gotten searched.

Habit 3

Habit 3: put first things first

Habit three is about will and will not power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deals with things that are:

Important or not important, urgent or not urgent, lets look at four quadrants of time management.

Quadrant 1: things that are not important and urgent

Quadrant 2: things that are important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: things that are not important but are urgent

Quadrant 4: things that are not important and not urgent

1.  Important and urgent	2.  Important but not urgent
3.  Not important but are urgent	4.not important and not urgent

Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to spend our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come into play. The results for living quadrant 2 are:

1.  Control of your life

2.  Balance

3.  High performance

So, in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eyes on the prize and reach for it.

“whether I fail or succeed shall no mans doing but my own. I am the force.”

Elaine Maxwell

Well I really don’t get what this is trying to say but, if you want to hear what I think well here you go. I think this statement is trying to send me or us a message by telling us if we fail its no one else’s fault but your own self and as long as he or she lives on for you, your self have the force to change not fix but change your mistakes.

7 habits of highly successful teens habit 1

( by Sean Covey but modified)

Habit 1: be proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, great things will come to you. Be proactive and take initiative.
