The 7 HABITS of Highly Effective TEENS ( Pg 104-161)

Third habit is 'Put first things first.' He required that the time quadrants such as exam tomorrow, friend gets injured, late for work, project due today and car breaks down. these things are procrastinator. next things are Yes-Man such as unimportant phone calls, interruptions, other people's small problems and peer pressure. these things are realted to urgent. Also, he said 'A personal challenge' is very important habit because if you have goal, you will do very hard for goal. And he compared between RBA DEPOSITS and RBA WITHDRAWALS. RBA DEPOSITS are keep probises, do small acts of kindness, be loyal listen say you're sorry and set clear expectations. RBA WITHDRAWALS are break promises, keep toyourself, gossip and break confidences, don't listen, be arrogant and set false expectations. He said that keeping probises and do small acts of kindess are very important. Also, he said 'set clear expectations' is think of a situation where you and the other party have different expectations. Put together a plan for how to get on the same page.



My opinion: I think third habit is very difficult to translate into action. Also, when i read this part, I learn a lot of noun clauses. Actually, i think keep promises are very basic thing in our lives. Therefore, we have to follow this habit for our lives and futures. Before i read this book, i often don't do homework. Because I'm little bit lazy person. However, i changed my behavior after i read this book. I really thanks to this book and Mike because he gives blog homework, so i read this book. After i finish this book, I will try to read another book.
