The 7 habits of highly effective people
Habit 1:
Habit 2:
Habit 3:
Habit 4:
Habit 5:
Habit 6:
Habit 7:
Habit 1: Be proactive
"habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and thats why it comes first. it says,"i am the captain of my life. i can choose my attitude. im responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. i am in the rivers seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."

My reflection is that is one is actually one i agree on you do what you want to do.
Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
"Control your own destiny or someone else will,"(Jack Welch)

habit two is just trynna perpared you for the best or worst out come
Habit 3: put first things first
"Organize and execute around priorities."

By this habit it just saying to put important things first like don't put parting in front of school or don't but your friends in front of your family . its pretty much just to do things first that you know will be better for you in the end. never let people change what you know your supposed to do first.
Habit 4: Think win-win
"Think win-win or no deal"

This habit is number 4 and it is just wanting you to be positive like always have positive thought like i will win i will win i mean you will lose at times but its best to think you will win.
Habit 5: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood
"Diagnose before you prescribe."

Our education has taught us how to read, write and speak. But who was ever educated in listening? I was, when I studied psychology, but that might be considered a bit late. The people around me had already suffered twenty years of me not listening to them properly!Psychology only taught me techniques; it did not teach me how I could really hear the other person.Covey explicitly puts a focus on listening by heart, which goes further than techniques can take you.Another person – your lover, employee or someone you just met – will notice that you are sincerely interested if he or she experiences that you are listening honestly.Only by listening sincerely will you notice the true feelings and ideas of your friend or colleague. And only this will help you give him or her the best possible advice.
Habit 6: synergize
"the whole is greater the sum of its part (1+1=3)"
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.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional

Reflection: My overall reflection on the 7 habits of highly effective people is that it actually does work , well it has some good points to it and it would give good advice but at the same time it was kinda stupid cause everyone knows what way to put yourself out there to make yourself look good . no one gonna just go up to a stranger and be like oh i haven't showered or i forgot to do this or stuff that you don tell people.

Three Fundamental Techniques in Handling People
Techniques 1: Don't criticize, condemn or complain.
"If you want to gather honey,don't kick over the beehive."
My reflection on the first fundamental technique on handling people is kind of just saying just listen. Don't be rude actually know whats going on it not ask questions have manners.

Techniques 2: Give honest and sincere appreciation
"The big secret in dealing with people"
My reflection on the second fundamental techniques in handling people is just trying to say if your honest and straight up with you most people like that about someone and will want to come and talk to you more because they know you wont lie to them.

Techniques 3: Arouse in the other person an eager want.
"He who can do this has the whole world with him.He who cannot,walks a lonely way."
My reflection on the third fundamental techniques in handling people is just that i dont know what it means but i have to put a reflection so here it is.
Christmas break                                                                                                            During christmas break i went to Vegas. My family and i stayed at the hooters hotel, it was kind of a round trip i guess you can say.For christmas eve i went to my great grandma house with my moms side of the family.On christmas morning i went to my dad side of the family for a christmas breakfast and later that night my moms brother and sister and there kids come over to my house and we celebrate together. On new years eve i went to the zoo lights with my dad and after the zoo lights we came back to my house to celebrate with my family and friends.On the the 2nd of January i went to the movies with my bestfriend and my ex to go watch kramps. On my last day of break which was on Sunday i went to my moms friend house to go watch the football games and play call of duty.Most of the break was mostly Netflix and Call of duty.
