The 7 Habits

|
Habit 1 — Be Proactive
You're in Charge
I am a responsible
person. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods. I do
not blame others for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being
asked, even when no one is looking.
|

|
Habit 2 — Begin with the End in Mind
Have a Plan
I plan ahead and set
goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important
part of my classroom and contribute to my school’s mission and vision. I look
for ways to be a good citizen.
|

|
Habit 3 — Put First Things First
Work First, Then Play
I spend my time on
things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should
not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am
disciplined and organized.
|

|
Habit 4 — Think Win-Win
Everyone Can Win
I balance courage for
getting what I want with consideration for what others want. I make deposits
in others’ Emotional Bank Accounts. When conflicts arise, I look for third
alternatives.
|

|
Habit 5 — Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
Listen Before You Talk
I listen to other
people’s ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints. I
listen to others without interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas. I
look people in the eyes when talking.
|

|
Habit 6 — Synergize
Together Is Better
I value other people’s
strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who
are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people’s ideas
to solve problems because I know that by teaming with others we can create better
solutions than anyone of us can alone. I am humble.
|

|
Habit 7 — Sharpen The Saw
Balance Feels Best
I take care of my body
by eating right, exercising and getting sleep. I spend time with family and
friends. I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school. I
find meaningful ways to help others
