Habit 1: Be Proactive

"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It say, "I am the captain of my life. I 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."

A person that is proactive is a person not matter what happens will always comeback. They have the key to their own destiny. In someone’s do you really think someone will be brought to their knees because of the fact of something has happen to them. The answer is very simple. It is no because they have the mentality to keep themselves going beyond. These are the type people that if you run into you better hope you become friends with. These individuals will help you throughout your whole entire life. If you want to make the world a better place takes a look at yourself and then makes a change. The change will be turning into a proactive individual person.

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind

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

The fact that most people let themselves get their minds brain wash by others is sad. They would go do the stupid even though it’s not right. That is ignorance that gets people killed, arrested, hurt, or even others around them. Then after all that "stuff" they were doing they have the audacity to say we didn't know or I didn't know. This is why you yourself should make the choices to crave the path to what you want to be or achieved. The people that do not begin with the end product are the ones that are usually begin told whatever to do. They will follow through with instructions like trying to get a individual mad, starting something up with someone else for no reason, These are most dangerous people to meet because they will almost anything to keep a path open by someone that has lead them on that path. Always create a destiny that you will be remembering for. Don't go out there and have someone else control you!   

Habit 3: Put First Things First

"Organize and execute around priorities."

What is the first that comes to mind when something needs to be done? Usually most people tend to time there activities or schedule it. Most people that I know tend to put there things that they have to do first as one of the last things to do. That is something that is rubbed off and many more do it like because of the other activities. They put the things that can be taken care of after the importance of an assignment or work. This something people should not do but keep continues doing which will eventually lead to their suffering and sorrow. In the first place put those things first always and do them first always. These they call Priorities! Most people have and others well.... strive to get them. In the end all that really matters the work put into and how long it took to finish.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

"Think win-win or no deal."

In many situations there is usually a win win or a win lose or a lose lose situations. It’s our job to go for the most beneficial one. There is no point on getting a deal that won’t help you in anyway shape or form. This is a matter of facts and truth be told some people take lose-lose situations because of the benefits that actually come with it. The fact the people will go as far to lose in return gain something even better is something. This is how the real world works. They always go on about what choices they should make and what values come with it. People need to understand the world won’t be waiting for them. They need to get up on their feet and start searching for the best and possible opportunities. No man or woman shall go to life and lead themselves to failure they must reach a win-win situation.

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

" Diagnose before you prescribe."

See things from another’s point of view before sharing your own.  Unknown It is a tendency for people solve everyone’s problems before we even understand what the problem is. We simply don’t listen; listen first, talk second. This habit is the key to communication, because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are, a unique and  never to be cloned individual. People won’t share their deepest feelings unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, they will probably give you more than you want to hear. Try to understand instead of judging.

Habit 6: Synergize 

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

 People need to know what a good synergy can do to you and a team member. This can bring out loads of team work and other secrets. This major to finding the best chemistry. A synergy can help bring out the true power of a double to four v four battle. Just like in the game Mortal combat Smoke and Noob and perfect candidates for an example of synergy. This Duo works miraculous and is a duo to be on the lookout for. This is also goes to show that nothing can be done alone no matter how much is accomplish you will need some help at some point. Look for the one bond to help build up the chemistry. Once that is done you will be set and just then move from experience there on.  

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
