7 HABITS

Habit 1 - Be Proactive

I am a responsible person.  I take initiative.  I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods.  I do not blame others for my wrong actions.  I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking.

Habit 5 - Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

Habit 7 - Sharpen the Saw

I eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep (body).  I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school (brain).  I spend time with family and friends (heart).  I take time to find meaningful ways to help people (soul). I balance all four parts of myself.

Habit 6 - Synergize

I value other people's strengths and learn from them.  I get along well with others, even people who are different than me.  I work well in groups.  I seek out other people's ideas because I know that by teaming with others, we can create better solutions than what any of us could alone.  I look for third alternatives.
