UA&P I AM S.T.R.O.N.G: Get In The Habit!

Krystle slaps your face with...

It was around 2 days ago (i think) when i introduced the 7 habits of highly defective teens. As promised, I give you now the 7 habits of highly effective teens. Why just now? Because according to Sean Covey, the man behind all these values-- to understand the 7 effective teen values is first to understand what they are not.

By now, you're probably wondering what these habits are so I might as well end the suspense. Here they are, followed by a brief explanation--see what habits you already possess:

Habit 1: Be Proactive
Take responsibility for your life.

Habit 2: Begin with theEnd in Mind
Define your mission and goals in life.

Habit 3: Put First Things First
Prioritize, and do the most important things first.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win
Have an everyone-can-win attitude.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
Listen to people sincerely.

Habit 6: Synergize
Work together to achieve more.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Renew yourself regularly.

As the above diagram shows, the habits build upon each other. Habits 1, 2, and 3 deal with self-mastery. We call it the "private victory." Habits 4, 5, and 6 deal with relationships and teamwork. We call it the "public victory." You've got to get your personal act together before you can be a good team player. That's why the private victory comes before the public victory. The last habit, Habit 7, is the habit of renewal. It feeds all of the other six habits. The habits seem rather simple, don't they? But just wait till you see how powerful they can be!


What of each effective teen value do you already have? Share them with us!

Being Proactive is not putting blames on other people.You could tell yourself,"I allowed this to happen, so I would be responsible for my actions."
