Habit 1: Be Proactive

"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "Ia m the caption of my life. I can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own hapiness or unhapiness. I am the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)

If you don't have control of yourself in life, you will never accomplish anything. If you have control of your life than you have accomplished many things because you have control. In life if someone doesn't control you eventually someone will. 

Habit 3: Put First Things First
"Organize and execute around priorities."

Putting first things first is to be organize in different areas. Such as being in order with your doings. and also to be on everything daily in order not to be irresponsible and slagging on your daily doings. Being organized helps you in being a very responsible persons and a person who cares. In order to be that kind of person you have to be very positive and caring about your do's and others.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win
"Think win-win or no deal."

To be in this state of mind you have to be in a perspective of point A to point B. It is to never be distracted and to always be in a positive mood about anything. Whether it being something that is for you or against you. To have this kind of mentality you need to be very loyal to what you want to accomplish in order to complete the task. If you give up than you never will complete anything because you will always be negative towards the situation.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood
"Diagnose before you prescribe."

In order for one to be understood you need to be open minded and understand others. To be understood you need to be very understanding for the person you are talking too. You will also be needing to be very respectful in the other persons point of view. If you gain respect of the others you will then be able to be understood in many different ways.

Habit 6: Synergize
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"

The meaning of this quote is that it represents that the whole work that you do is greater than what you do as the answer. It also means that all the time you're trying it will not equal as much as the work you put into to get the answer.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional

To sharpen the saw it would mean to have reset the way you view things in different ways. How one should think or feel about a situation but it should be positive. To always renew your social terms and your physical terms too. Also how someone would rejuvinate ones self

Technique 2: Give honest and sincere appreciation

Reflection: To be honest is to be open minded and bold. Also to be sincere you have to be honest and bold. If you are the opposite of tha you would be a liar or a rude person rather than someone who is being honest. To appreciate someone they must have done something in order to help you or guide in a way. Giving appreciation is noticing that someone helped you and you are trying to say thank you. That will help a lot in the friend relationship and also help the relationship of your companion.

Quote: "The big secret in dealing with people."

I will put this into my daily life by applying it to my friends and family. Also to be very friendly and kind to one another. I'll never be rude because that will ruin the friendship in many way.

Technique 3: Arouse in the other person an eager want.

Quote: "He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot, walks a lonely way."

Reflection: To arouse in the person is to be interested in the other persons wants. To be observant in the person and their likings. One way to not do this is to be ignorant or only rant on yourself rather than the other person. Also to always be the person who is always interested in the other person you are talking to or talking about. It is always better to bloat about the person rather than yourself.

One way I would put this into my daily life is to apply it to my friends and family and to put it to use everyday. To never be ignorant of others and to never be conceded.

Final Reflection:

These techniques have taught me to be a better person to myself and to others. It has also taught me to be very kind and understanding towawds others rather than being mean and abusive.
