7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

                           Habit 1

                                 (By Sean Covey but Modified)

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choice, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great thing will come to you. Nr Proactive and take the initiative.

Reflection:

What I think about this quote is that we have to check the prize before we buy something but also it could mean to make sure that we have clear goals, if we are going to college, and to be a successful person because we don’t want to waste our or our parents money in vain. Make good decision about your future because it’s going to benefits you.

What I think about this quote is that habits can be our own decisions and if we make good decisions then our habits are good. And it will make us look good and give can give advices to other people and be an example for our siblings. But if we make bad habit then we will be a bad habit for others. For example a flower can represent a good habit but a rotten apple can represent a bad habit and nobody will like to eat it and they are going to throw it away. So make good habits instead of bad habits.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

 7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

                             By Sean Covey  

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.
While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Tour example can be very influential.
Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:
