Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Successful people

1.Be Proactive: You take the responsibility for our own behavior. You don't blame circumstances, conditions, or your conditioning for your behaviour.You choose your response to any situation and any person.


2.Begin with the end in Mind: You can visualize the future that you want to achieve. You have a clear vision of where you want to go and what you want to accomplish. You live your life according to some deeply held beliefs, principles, or fundamental truths


3.Put first things first: You live a disciplined life. You focus heavily on highly on important but not necessarily urgent activites such as " building relationships, writing a personal mission statement, long range planning, exercising., preparation --all those things we know what we need to do ,but somehow seldom get around to doing, because they aren't urgent" .You say no to things that seem critical but are unimportant.


4.Think Win/Win: You have an "abundance" mentality. You believe there is plenty for everybody. You don't believe that one persons success requires another persons failure. You look for synergistic solution to problems .You seek to find solutions to problems. You seek to fins solutions in which all parties benefit.


5.Seek first to understand , then to be understood: You listen with the strong intent to fully ,deeply understand the other person both emotionally and intellectually. You diagnose before u prescribe.


6.Synergize: You are creative. You are a trailblazer and a pathfinder. You believe the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You value differences between people and try to build upon those differences. When presented with two conflicting alternatives, you seek a third, more creative response.


7.Sharpen the saw: You seek continuous improvement, innovation and refinement. You are always seeking to learn.
