Final: part 1

1.) What I liked about this class is I had time to research future careers and have my goals aligned.

2.) what I did not like about the class was having to sit down the whole time

3.) maybe if you let kids interact with one another then there wouldn’t be people interrupting you by talking to their fellow piers, and if you were to give them time to talk they would distinguish talk time and time out

4.) this class was fun we did interactive group projects and getting to laugh with my friends and help eachother with assignments

5.) i did my best in this class, doing what i was told and on time assignments.

6.) I do, I think about my goals and future plans every day. I might not read them off my book but I make more along my way.

7.) I am committed to being a ctr person because I know it will get me far, on the other hand drugs and intoxication will lead to nothing but regret

8.) I will always remember you repeatedly saying to choose the right, and ill always remember the ctr song.

The 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders

Becoming Your Best: 
The 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders


1.Be true to character
"Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day"--- John Wooden
what this means is to be honest to yourself. dont try to pretend to be someone else. be who you really are in front of everyone. dont be one of those people who has a different personality depending on their company. thats just being two face and condescending. in order to make true friends you have to be true yourself. unmask you and the good ones will stick around. if somebody dosent like you for your worst they dont deserve to see your best. and example of this, is if you are in a relationship with somebody that your completely different with.  you changed you style and personality for them. that isnt right at all, thats why i let them see me in my p.js and show them what there getting themselves into. if they dont like it well then thats there loss not mine.

2. use your imagination
"You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus" --- Mark Twain
when you use your imagination you open new doors. your mind runs wild and you begin to know more. you excessive your brain. you become a brain with ideas. even Einstein used his imagination and got him to know many of his theories. if it wernet for imagination many cartoons wouldnt be here. a show i like alot is spongebob and even he motivates kids to use there imagination. it you use your imagination then you daydream and set goals. America runs on ideas, thats why weve industrialized.

3. apply the power of knowledge
A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots- Marcus Garvey

knowledge is the key to all success. without it you have nothing nor anyone. knowledge is what uprises us to do much better things. take a doctor for example, their knowledge exceeds them to help humans out. its because of them that when we get ill or hurt were okay. they also use their full knowledge to figure out what we have. they take x-rays and diagnose us. knowlede also leads to greater things like the theory of relativity. not just anybody what have guessed it. Eisenstein made his research and took his year to recollect his knowlege to that point. to concentrate on the answer to that theory.
4.never give up
Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine
- Jack Ma

never giving up is a sign of strength. having thepowerkeep on going is courage. if you fail in something dont get discouraged. not everything comes to you the first time and deserves another try. i believe in second chances and pursuing in what i want. an example of this can be in a relationship. if your partner is upset and you dont know how to fix it, you dont just give up and end it. no, you messed up and have to fix it instead of whinning. how else would it be fixed.

5. find peace and balance
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word". Martin Luther King, Jr.
this quote means to be more peaceful and avoid anger. rancorous people dont get any where with grudge in their heart. they need to find a happy environment to acquire peace. they also need to balance their life to not call any distress. stress can cause anger and anger causes a non peaceful mood and bad conflicts. an example of peace and balance can be maintaining good grades and a boyfriend. you need to be happy with your boyfriend and have fun but at the same time, manage your time wisely to be stress free and peaceful. dont live a life fulfilled with agony but with peace to unravel. there is no need for war and more depth of friendship, just peace (Vietnam war). i use this in my life by multitasking school life with all the extracurricular activities. i admit sometimes in a melancholy mood that leads me to balled up anger, but when i surround myself with happy people i let peace come to me.

6. Live the golden rule
"We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule". Ronald Reagan
The golden rule is to treat others the way you want to be treated. what that means is if your nice to someone then theyll repay you with the same respect. if you treat somebody bad then youll get the same treatment. an example of this can be in a healthy relationship. if your partner treats you with respect and loyalty you should do the same. if they cheat on you and disrespect you i dont suggest to do the same but to end it right there and then. your actions all depend on how others will look at you or treat you. you need people as connections and as friends to slide through life. you apply this everyday when you meet the love of your life one day.


7.Build and Maintain
 "Trust is like blood pressure. It's silent, vital to good health, and if abused it can be deadly." --Frank Sonnenberg, author of Follow Your Conscience
what this means is building up strength to get somewhere. you do not just build, but also maintain to stay there. a perfect example is being in a varsity sports team. you made tryouts an they put you in varsity. all of those times you practiced you were building up. now the point of maintaining is to not go down/ slack off. some people have a tendency to do that because they have gotten to far. but little do those people that they can be dropped to jv and replaced by someone who is thriving. its not about being perfect, but about being a better you. dont get comfortable where your are, get better and be more successful.

8.Quick to Listen slow to wrath
"Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence." - Robert Frost
I like this quote because its something i should learn to do. i acknowledge the fact that at times i become stubborn and block everyone out. when i am upset i do not like to listen but ignore. i act in the moment with wrath and later come to see ive messed up. so when i know im about to say something bad i just stay quite (at times) and breathe. this example goes perfectly into a relationship when one partner messes up. when your partner does something hurtful, i rather stay quite or as he used to say "the silent treatment" because i would not like to hurt them like he hurt me. but i know see that, that is not a solution but instead i should learn how to talk in the moment. just how i saw my mistake and found a solution, he should know i was trying not to react in the moment. we all have our flaws and mistakes, and sometimes should be second chances if wanted.

9.Lead with vision
"Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others" --Jonathan Swift
leading with vision is being a good leader. they always know what they get themselves into. they know the consequences and plan it out. they do whats best for everyone. they are well aware of whats going on and continue to thrive. they want better for everyone and want to help. an example of this is me being the president of my club. i have plans and know what well be doing in my club. i have a vision and hope to soon accomplish it with them all. to do good and choose the right.


10.Manage with a plan
"Plans are nothing; planning is everything" --Dwight D. Eisenhower
Planning is everything and maintain goals. planning is what gets success. you cant just wing a project but plot and plan your points. you need to think ahead and figure out your goal. i plan ahead before going out with my friends so we can get to do what we want ahead of time. if we were to just go out we wouldnt know what to do. we would spend time to plan and wont end up having time to hang out long enough. last year this happened when i hung out with my friend and we wanted to go eat. we went to boulevards and saw it was really hectic so we left. it took 2 hours to find where to eat and ended up eating at the habbit.


11.Do what matters the most
"The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters"-- Audrey Hepburn
When doing something you have to check who it affects. when doing right you have to make good decisions. an example of this can be, would you rather go shopping or volunteer at a hospital. do what matters most and volunteer at the hospital. when doing something think of happiness over money. that is perfect example in choosing a career. when doing something think of your family as well. your family should be a priority over anything else. an example of this can be to prioritize school over going out with friends. if you cant handle time nor a boyfriend, then do what matters most.

12.Be accountable
"I repeat... that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist" ---Benjamin Disraeli
being accountable is being in charge. you make decisions and you with hold the power. being accountable is also being humble and taking the blame. you don't put the blame on someone else but be responsible. an example of this can be in a relationship.your partner cant be constantly be blaming you there mad. the person is mad because the other partner is doing something to aggravate them. they know there at fault but switch the tables on them. another reason can be that a partner found something bad in the other partners phone. the partner cant mad that the partner was looking through the phone, there turning the tables. people have to be accountable for there own actions.

10 tips for being more truthful

10 tips for being more truthful

Barbara A. Lewis

1. Make a commitment to tell the truth
"Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth".    Buddha
the truth will always end up coming out. ignorance isnt bliss and lying isnt a rule. id rather feel pain and know the truth rather than living in oblivion. telling lies will get you no where in a relationship and just dig you in a big hole of abyss. id rather just live with everything out the table being myself. telling lies will also get you in trouble in a career, for instance you want to be a doctor but cheat on the tests well your just lying to yourself and those around you. rather be you and dont lie. honestly im brutally honest and dont need a lie to make things better. if people do not agree with my being then they can go screw themselves :)


2. Tell someone about your commitment
"Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work."    Vince Lombardi
Yes it is normal to make a commitment to yourself but how will people know your change if they dont know your working on it. An example can be in relationships. You tell people about committing to your partner. your not rubbing it but your letting people know your taken. you dont want fly's on your food right? you want to prevent that by letting the flies know you have a fly swap-er. Dont just let people know your committed but also your achievements. keep people posted and knowing.


3.Think before you give a dishonest answer, explanation, sarcasm, or reason.
"We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter". --- Denis Diderot
What this means in other words is think before you say something. sometimes when im furious i react so id prefer to be quiet. somebody's mouth can get them in a lot of trouble.  id prefer to get in trouble then to lie and get even more in trouble. i dont like to put excuses either because if other people can do it then so can i. some people can really just piss me off and id rather stay away from them. better to stay away from drama than to be with them. but for some odd reason drama just seems to find me and haunt me. i can literally be doing nothing wrong and id probably get in trouble. ehy be in a world of pitiful lies when you can just the truth even though you know itll hurt somebody.

4. Be careful of when and how you use exaggeration, sarcasm, or irony
"Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment"
 -Horace
This quotes that we should be serious when the time is right. an example can be when someone is telling you how you feel and you begin the answer in sarcasm. how will someone know your serious if you do not answer seriously. irony isn't a good way to show how you feel either. you may confuse the people around you into thinking something else. oh and i highly dislike dramatic people. they exaggerate for attention and that just annoys me. exaggerating may lead to a bigger problem, for instance if you are hurt and exaggerate the pain then they'll diagnose you with something worse then what you actually have. people just need to be straight forward with their thoughts. its not good to beat around the bush or to keep sending subliminal messages. just be honest and be upward.



5.Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out part of it.
"Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself"            
 - Ludwig Wittgenstein
People usually say lies or partial truth to save themselves. that is definitely not fair to others, and it can ruin somebody's dreams. an example of this can be cheating. teacher: " hey do you copy bob's homework?". student: " No i didnt" while he thinks to himself he didn't cheat of bob but cheated off Jim. Partial truth is being deceitful to others. Another example can be in a relationship. if there is a dysfunctional couple that is not working out they have to let go. guy: "i just want to know if you want  to be with me?". girl: "yes i care for you and like to be around you" while under her breathe she says "as a friend...".  its not fair to the boy to be lied to, and needs someone who actually does care for him.


6.Don't indulge in little white lies
"When we tell little white lies, we become progressively color-blind. It is better to remain silent than to mislead"
-James E. Faust
white lies to me mean nothing. i highly dislike sugar coatings because it has no truth. i rather tell my friend the truth even though it might hurt that person rather than it coming back to hurt them more later. it will most likely sting in the moment but at least your being truthful. Before i begin a relationship i ask nothing from them but to be truthful. if they do not like me to please tell me instead of cheating. or even worse to continue dating me though there is no connection. or with my friends, ill tell them the straight truth when they ask me for advice. sometimes they dont like it but im being a good friend by not lying. ask me for advice and in exchange ill tell you what you need to hear.


7.Watch out for silent lies
“Truth can remain silent. Lies must be spoken.”
― Mason Cooley
Lies can be deceiving in a manner that may hurt someone. sometimes, someone can lie and you may not know it. its not good to be a good liar and people shouldn't be taught that. an example of a silent lie can be a relationship. A relationship can look healthy from the outside and different from the inside. They can post pictures of themselves being lovey dovey, but in person its completely different. they constantly argue and lie about still loving each other. people do not know that which makes it a silent lie. i dont understand why people arent straight forward with themselves and others. they need to tell the truth and embrace it. why live a lie thatll end up backfiring you.



8.When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse.
“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
what this means is when you in a situation, dont lie. dont try to get yourself out of it because it'll make it worse. so when you begin to lie stop yourself. a lie would only make things worse than what they probably are. if someone ever feels the need to lie, that already says a lot. that means they messed up and they'll do anything in their power to cover it up. in a relationship, itll just make things worst. if you feel the need to lie then it isnt working out. cheating and lying arent situations but reasons to break up. Things come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies.


9.Talk to yourself
“Self-talk reflects your innermost feelings.”
― Asa Don Brown
When your talking to yourself it also means to pep talk to yourself. you are the only person you can trust. you are also your greatest motivator, and can thrive alone. in the end, you are the only person who can make yourself feel better. nobody can transmit something to you, because it all varies on you. an example can be during a breakup. you are the only person that can stop crying and take a stand. you know you'll get over it but its a matter of time your mind lets you. we all have potential to do things but do we usually do it. im not trying to aim for perfect, im just trying to aim for a better me.


10.Treat yourself when you tell the truth.
"Outsourcing is inevitable, and I don't think it's necessarily treating people like things".
- Stephen Covey

when you tell the truth the feeling is better. you feel as if your light. when you lie you feel as if there is a heavy weight on your shoulders. treat yourself if you did the right thing and told the truth. for example, if you told the truth to your friend. she will thank you for the brutal truth and youll be okay. you did what you can and treat yourself. take yourself to the spa or dinner. your being humane by being truthful. treat yourself or give yourself a pat in the back.

"How the internet works"

"How the internet works"

To understand the Internet, it helps to look at it as a system with two main components. The first of those components is hardware. That includes everything from the cables that carry terabits of information every second to the computer sitting in front of you. my favorite part was the cesars coding. I've used it a lot since i watch the video on it on khan academy. iv'e been leaving little hints to my crush with the doing. i know he wont figure it out, but its nice to put it out there without anyone knowing.These elements are connections. Some are end points -- the computer, smartphone or other device you're using to read this may count as one. We call those end points clients. Machines that store the information we seek on the Internet are servers. Other elements are nodes which serve as a connecting point along a route of traffic. And then there are the transmission lines which can be physical, as in the case of cables and fiber optics, or they can be wireless signals from satellites, cell phone or 4G towers, or radios.

10 KEYS TO PERSONAL POWER

10 KEYS TO PERSONAL POWER

-Brian Tracy

Key #1

"Have vision. determine what you want to be, do or have in life. Have a sense of direction and know where you're going. If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do"

Reflection: Clear goals and objectives are essential to the success of any business, and this is no less true of building your own career. If you don't take the time to get really clear about exactly what it is you're trying to accomplish, then you're forever doomed to spend your life achieving the goals of those who do. In the absence of a clear direction for your life, you will either meander aimlessly or you will build a career that you don't feel good about. You may make some money, and you may do some interesting work, but the end result will not resemble anything you ever made a conscious decision to build, and ultimately you will be left with the sinking feeling that maybe you took a wrong turn somewhere along the way.

Key 2: Competence

"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

Reflection:  A competence, a commitment to becoming excellent in your chosen field is an indispensable prerequisite for success. If you are not good in what you do you haven't got a chance.

If you commit yourself to becoming excellent it changes everything about you. You must commit yourself to excellence. You must commit yourself to becoming the best.Excellence is a journey, it is not a destination. Complacency and satisfaction are the key enemies of excellence.Do your best every time out and always strive to do it better.Last 5%-10% of every job or a project makes all the difference. If you are not excellent in your field you don't go anywhere, you are locked in place.

Key 3: Concentration

"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself “Is this the best use of my time?” before you start anything."

 Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself “Is this the best use of my time” before you start anything.  Before you start your day, before you get in the car, before you watch TV, before you do anything.Without touching my subject I want to come to the moment when, through pure concentration of seeing, the composed picture becomes more made than taken. Without a descriptive caption to justify its existence, it will speak for itself - less descriptive, more creative; less informative, more suggestive - less prose, more poetry.To inspire a singularity of focus, a challenge must be important to you and it must be something you feel you should do now in this moment. If it's trivial or not time-bound, you won't engage. So in selecting your next challenge in life, choose one that is meaningful and will demand your complete concentration.Designing is a matter of concentration. You go deep into what you want to do. It's about intensive research, really. The concentration is warm and intimate and like the fire inside the earth - intense but not distorted. You can go to a place, really feel it in your heart. It's actually a beautiful feeling.

Key 4: Common Sense

Train your mind

think things through

listen to your intuition

learn from setbacks
Such as have reason, understanding, or common sense, will, and ought to make use of it in those things that concern themselves and their posterity, and suspect the words of such as are interested in deceiving or persuading them not to see with their own eyes.If we put our trust in the common sense of common men and 'with malice toward none and charity for all' go forward on the great adventure of making political, economic and social democracy a practical reality, we shall not fail.We must do everything in our power to keep families together, and to use common sense in our immigration laws. Children deserve better than to lose a parent because of an inflexible law.My elections are really not about campaigns. I tell my people that these are about a movement. And a movement to do what? To restore common sense. A movement to do things like provide economic growth. And a movement not to let anybody be behind.Taste is the common sense of genius.


Key number 5: Creativity
"Except the fact that every human being is a genius. that hallmark of creativity is asking questions. the people who are most creative ask the most questions"

The work you’re doing feeding your need for creativity? There are seasons of life when it might not. In those seasons, it’s so incredibly useful to have a creative outlet on which to rely. From experience, I can say that this is essential. I wrote for six years about nutrition and health, serious discussions about good fats and the colon. On the side, I wrote about sports, silly, creative stories about touchdowns and championships. All of it was writing—some that paid the bills, some that fed my joy.The psychological research supports these types of creative pursuits. In a San Francisco State study measuring employees with a creative side project and those without, those with a creative hobby were more likely to be helpful, collaborative, and creative with their job performance. Best of all, side projects are unlike whatever you’d experience at work. They’re low-risk, low-pressure, and something you love doing. 

key 6: Consideration
"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life."

"Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator.  Take courses in listening, speaking, etc."
"If you were to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you’ll be the best educated person in history."

Considerate people have a unique perspective, and they don’t see life as a win or lose game. They understand that life is abundant, so they spread joy and kindness as if it’s infinite. When the gym at LeBron James’s alumni high school needed an upgrade, he was kind enough to donate a million dollars to make it happen. Talk about abundance.Considerate people hate to make others squirm. You won’t hear a considerate person asking super personal or awkward questions. They care about how others feel and make it a point to make them feel comfortable in all situations.Considerate people always think before they speak. They’re brutally honest, but share their opinion in such a tactful and thoughtful way that people don’t get offended by what they have to say.They understand that time is an important resource and that showing up late shows a lack of respect towards other people. Marilyn Monroe didn’t seem to care about being punctual, as she has been quoted saying, “I am invariably late for appointments – sometimes as much as two hours. I’ve tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.” Don’t pull a Marilyn, show up on time.

Key 7: Consistency
"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work."

Be consistent in your relationships, your family, friends, your boss, your work.  Be the person that people can depend upon.  That if you say you’ll do something you do it.."

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.If business doesn't thrive, it hurts America. We need improved relations, more collaboration, more thought and more consistency as we go about trying to make sure we have the best country in the world. Not scapegoating and finger-pointing.Even as a kid, I was a businessman. I figured out that if you plucked all the berries off my neighbor's tree and smashed them up, they made a Nickelodeon Gak-type consistency. I sold them to all the neighborhood kids and made stacks of quarters. Of course, the berries were poisonous, and I got in all types of trouble.


Key 8: Commitment
"No success is possible without commitment.  The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success."
"Become totally absorbed in your work.  Be totally committed."

When you encourage others, you in the process are encouraged because you're making a commitment and difference in that person's life. Encouragement really does make a difference.Thankfully, President Obama has stood firmly behind women's health care issues by supporting coverage for contraception and reaffirming commitment to organizations like Planned Parenthood. India is a vibrant nation whose strength lies in its commitment to equal rights and to speech, religious and economic freedoms that enrich the lives of all citizens. India is not only the world's largest democracy; it is also a secular, pluralistic society committed to inclusive growth.Throughout my career, as both a physician and a scientist, I have drawn inspiration from Merck's unwavering commitment to scientific excellence. Over time, this commitment has brought forth an unparalleled number of breakthrough medicines and vaccines that improve the lives of patients around the world. Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.


Key 9: Courage
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, like in my case at Halloween horror nights, "I lived through this horror". I can take the next thing that comes along. These are great qualities that they must work towards.  without courage then you wouldn't get anywhere in your school, social or family life. im not talking about pressure like the courage to jump off  a bridge but the one to walk up to your crush. ill open up to you haymore and admit to you i have a crush and i dont have the courage to tell him. i feel rejection or even worse to be just friends."Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition"-steve jobs.

Key 10: Confidence

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again ."

confidence is knowing what you're good at, the value you provide, and acting in a way that conveys that to others. Contrast this with arrogance which typically involves believing you are better in a particular area than you are, or low self-esteem which involves believing you're less valuable than you think. The closer your self-assessment is to that reality in the middle, and the more you behave accordingly, the closer you are to displaying healthy confidence.Confidence is one of those traits that can become an ethereal ideal that we all think is good, but ask us to point to the specific reasons why anyone should want it and we can only point to vague hypotheticals. Fortunately, science has our back. Here are just a few ways that tangibly improving your own self-confidence manifests in real world benefits.The importance of confidence in romantic relationships doesn't end at the dating phase, either.i like a man who is confident when he talks to me. like it would be great if my crush were to just be honest ad tell me how he feels. wouldn't it be nice if we were to have the romantic kiss at prom?

Reflection: I'm not sure i have much confidence when it comes to my romantic part in life and lack the courage. i have a crush, yet i dont do anything about it. But its a mutual state of being because it is not my fault why we arent talking. he honestly messed up and is doing the least to recuperate whats left of our feelings. he has to commit to me and we'll gain back better what we used to have. but where is the consistency if he only tries when he wants to? how about making a commitment, or agreeing to something then sticking to it. one of the main questions is, when he goes off to college, will he continue to try? are we strong enough to try long distant?  He has to consider my feeling and not play around with them as if there easy to bounce on. wheres the creativity in just making me do all the work. i would do my part if he did his. I wasnt a distraction and actually helped him want more. never was i a bad influence and actually helped him concentrate in his academics. i was the one in his ear telling him he will become the doctor he wants to be and push him to do more. i was willing to spare my time to help him. but i guess people dont relize what they have until they have lost it. 

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 1: Be Proactive

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

when your proactive your always doing something. not that your hyper but that your doing something. you diligent and working. there is also a acne creme called this in the same meaning. the meaning is it actually working. your multitasking in doing your work and thinking about your future. you get things done, complete and on time. you don't waste your time and you use it wisely.you doing that keep yourself away from nonsense. you dont need to be mourning about and ex lover, you'll be too busy and forget the past. 

Recast your current problems into proactive goals.

-Suze Orman

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind

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

when you are about to do something you think it twice. you think of all the possibilities and strive. there's a difference between being pessimistic and realistic and in this case its realistic. your in change of what goes on in your life. your not indecisive your determined. you know what you want and your going to get it because you thought it through. you know how successful you'll be to get there and will. in a matter of time youll get what you want if your persistent and hard working. its not complicated, more like easy. but before making a decision make sure it has a good effect on you and those around you.

"successful people have the habit of doing things failures don’t like to do. They don’t like doing them either, necessarily, but their disliking is subordinated to the strength of their purpose."

— Albert E Gray

Habit 3: Put First Things First

"Organize and execute around priorities." 

When you hear this you think to yourself about priorities. what are your priorities? its family, school then friends, you put your family over anyone. you finish your homework before going to eat with your friends, that's putting first things first. Its an everyday thing that you use to get far in life. like first you go to school then you can go home and play your video games. or clean your room before wanting to go to the movies. i dont know about you but i use this everyday. you have to set your goal after the other like after high school graduation, its a start of your new priorities. dont settle for the bare minimum and do something about. grow a pair and go up to your crush and talk to them in person instead of texting them.

The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Stephen Covey

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

"Think win-win or no deal"

What this means is when you go into do something you have confidence. you have a mentality that your going to win. if you don't have confidence then who else will. everything weighs heavily on you to be your own charisma. you want to win and not loose. if your gaining the best then take it, if not then leave. an example can be choosing a guy, if you don't think hell give you the best, and im talking about emotion, then leave. if he dosen't make you feel the happiest or the calmest well then he just isn't the one. decide the best for yourself and your outcome will be a win. think a win or no deal.

"I like to think of sales as the ability to gracefully persuade, not manipulate, a person or persons into a win-win situation."

Bo Bennett

Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood

"diagnose before you prescribe"

What this means is you have to see both perspectives. in order for people to understand you, understand them. if your going to make a point, make it reasonable. don't expect to be understand if its something selfish or not fair. understand others and they'll understand you back.its a chain reaction, what you do reflects later on. if one day your sick and call in to work that you cant go and say you cant miss, it'll come back around. you have a negative attitude, so if you cant miss you make all your employers stay.you have to be understanding from peoples situations and know where their coming from. im not talking about sympathy but genuinely being understanding.

'Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again."

-Og Mandino

Habit 6: Synergize

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

to synergize is the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents. with working together they produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects. the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements, contributions.the increased effectiveness that results when two or more people or businesses work together. a mutually advantageous conjunction or compatibility of distinct business participants or elements (as resources or efforts).  the potential ability of individual organizations or groups to be more successful or productive as a result of a merger.  Cooperative interaction among groups, especially among the acquired subsidiaries or merged parts of a corporation, that creates an enhanced combined effect. The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.  An instance of either such interaction. the ​combined ​power of a ​group of things when they are ​working together that is ​greater than the ​total ​power ​achieved by each ​working ​separately:Team ​work at ​its ​best ​results in a synergy that can be very ​productive.

Together we are stronger, our voices louder, and the synergy of our actions more powerful. Together we can prevail on the Navy to put commonsense safeguards in place, like requiring its ships to avoid the most sensitive marine mammal habitats and to stop their training exercises during peak migrations.

Habit 7: Sharpen the saw

Four dimensions of self renewal: physical, mental, spiritual, social/emotional

Sharpen The Saw discusses self-renewal, self-care, self-respect and self-improvement... so as the last chapter of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I believe this chapter also represents why most people initially decide to read this personal change book... their desire to improve. I see the previous 7 Habits as being foundation... and if you work with them. the previous 7 Habits build a very necessary and helpful foundation that will serve you well.The pace of change keeps accelerating, which I feel makes it even more important that we focus on improving ourselves and/or our organizations. Millennials and Generation Z employees are on a never-ending quest for knowledge and self-improvement... and Gen X and Boomers were self-improvement pioneers.Sharpening The Saw is an ongoing process of personal change -- not something you can binge -- like your favorite TV show (which I sometimes do). You need to define your own balanced, four-dimensional life to be successful! If you are a leader, I believe part of your role is to help the people who report into you and/or look up to you (your family), explore these dimensions and establish goals for themselves.We all have busy lifestyles; therefore it's no surprise we have to insert Sharpen The Saw into our Time Management best practices and make it part of our Quadrant II priorities (Habit 3). Our future success and ongoing reputation depends on us taking action. I've seen students have great success with this concept.

REFLECTION:

The first habit was to Be Proactive, and thats when you get up and do something with your life. the second habit is Begin with the end in mind, meaning be ready to what comes to you because its never the end.
