The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
"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."
Reflection: This is trying to say is that you basically do what you want it is always going to be your decision on what you choose in life. You should always go for what you want but go for what you think is good for you. You're the cause of your actions. You choose for yourself nobody else makes decisions for yourself. Always go for what you think is the best for you. "I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it." Go for what you think is best and is positive in your life you are in charge of yourself.
Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)
Reflection: What this is trying to say is that always have in mind where you want to be. Picture yourself at the end where you want to be. Where you want to be might be hard but we should always work hard to see ourselves at the end. For example if you are playing a sport picture yourself wining the game. Always have in mind that you will get to where you want to be in life or any situation. "Start with a clear destination. It means to know where you are going so that you better understand where you are now so that the steps you take are always in the right decision." Work hard and begin with the end in mind.
Habit 3: Put things first
"Organize and execute around priorities"
Reflection: This is trying to say that priorities come first. You should always put things that are important first other things you can do later. "Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out." We all need to realize that somethings don't matter and we have to focus on our priorities. You have to decide what you want to put things first. You have to make sure you are willing to give up somethings or exchange for what you want. Also establish your priorities. Get your work done.
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
"Think win-win or no deal."
Reflection: This is trying to say that you should think always that you are going to win. If you have in mind that you are going to win you to accomplish more things. You can actually get things done. “You were born to win, but
to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win." This quote is trying to say is that we are all born winners but you have to work your way there. Work hard to get to were you want to be and be a winner.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand then to be understood

Reflection:
Habit 6: Synergize
The whole id greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)
Reflection: Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork, open mindedness, and the adventure of finding new solutions to old problems. Which means that 1+1 equals more than two.
