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."
The first habit is to be proactive. Stephen R. covey says it is the key to unlocking all the other habits. I agree on what he says because everyone is responsible for their own actions and choices. He says, "I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness." and i think that it's true. You decide whether to let something bother you or not. If you're unhappy that's up to you. You choose where you wanna go and what you want to do in life and you shouldn't let anyone else decide that. Like he says, " I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger." You choose your attitude and your choices and your emotions. By being proactive you take control of your own life, not somebody else.
"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."- Michael J. Fox

The way that I will apply this to my life is by reminding myself that I am responsible for my own happiness and unhappiness and that you don't always have to let things affect you.
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind.
"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)
"When you know where you intend to end up, you know where you are now." (Covey)
Stephen says to begin with the end in mind. Meaning that whenever you start something you should start it with the end in your mind. What do you want out of whatever you're doing? What is your goal? I think that helps you reach your goal because you're starting it with a goal already set. It helps you stay focused to get closer to whatever it is that you want.
Habit 3: Put First Things First
"Organize and execute around priorities."
Stephen says a habit of a highly effective person is putting things first. I agree that everyone should put things first because it's best to get things done first. Especially the most important things. It's better to get them out of the way, that way you have free time. Also if you don't put things first, you might fall behind and not get things done in the first place. You should make that a habit and you'll always be on top of your game.
"First things first, second things never."- Shirley Conran
