Habit 1: Be Proactive

Proactive people make things work for them.  They get that promotion, they get recognized, and they are remembered in human history. Thats' because instead of waiting for things to go right for them they went out and made it right. Like bill gates did with his technology. He left highschool to chase his dream. Now most would argue it was a terrible choice but he was proactive. He worked hard and made opurtunites for himself and look at him now. CEO of a massive company that owns many more big companies. If your proactive you can make anything happen for you. Thats because your willing to put in the work and dedication. That will take you far in life so be proactive

Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind

Its important to have the end in sight. If you don't then you don't know where your going. You could get lost if you don't know where your going. That's why when you set a goal you got to know when and where your going to say that you satisfied. If you don't know then you could go on forever which would eventually burn you out. For example, when you say you want to a daredevil who does dangerous stunts. You have to know when enough is enough. For example when do you want to retire or when you what is the limit to what you will do. Setting a goal is great but you have to have the end in sight so you know when to stop. When you have gone to far or if you haven't gone far enough.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

You need to Prioritize what matters most in your life. When you do that then you while know what to work or focus on. What needs your attention will become clear in you know what comes first in your life. For Example work or family. If you chose work then you must be ready to sacrifice and work hard. To put in all your effort in it but it will affect your family life. What ever you decide that comes first will improve if you work hard. But anything below that will eventually start to suffer. Thats why you must choose wisely. What ever is not first is going to decline so pick wisely.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

If your not think that you can win then you wont. Its that simple because of two little things, morale and belief. Morale is extremely important in almost every little thing. Morale effects the way you think the way you act and the way you feel. Lets say your playing a football, your team just scored 3 touchdowns in a row! You aromatically feel good and you get more energetic and optimistic about the outcome. You start think we can win we can and we will. It's mentality like this that wins games. if you don't believe in yourself you might as well quit. If you don't believe in yourself then who will. You need to think your the best to boost your morale. We all know a good morale can be very effective in winning games. So think you can win to actually have a chance to win.

5.Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood

If you Don't understand what your topic is how do you expect people to understand you when you talk about it. When you explain something to someone you have to know every little detail like the back of your hand. That's because every little detail matters in an explanation. If you leave something our because you didn't understand it how will they understand what you don't know. That's why for stuff like idp we do a lot of research. We read the same things in different ways written by different people. It may be repetitive but it does help get it stuck in our minds. Once we get it stuck we are ready to present that's because we know our topic. We understood it before we expected to be understood. Thats why you should understand before you expect to be understood.

6. Synergize

You can achieve so much with the help of your fellow human beings. I mean just look at all the amazing things we have done when humans work together. The statue of liberty was a gift from the french, but it is one of our most sacred monuments in america. The french people came together to gift us a beautiful symbol that we treasure dearly. Another example would be the pyramids. Now i know the pyramids were build by Jewish slaves. But it was Still made by humans who work together. Even though they were forced to the pyramids are still and incredible human structures. Do you think Neil Armstrong could have made it to the moon without some help. When humans come together united and ready to work together they can accomplish anything. But most of us are to pettie to put aside our differences. So we need to work on our synergize to d great things.
