The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People. by Laolu97(m): 9:54am On Nov 24, 2015
I gathered these informations based on d book written by a popular writer called Stephen R.Covey which is titled"The 7 habits of highly effective people".I recently finished reading dis book and i tot abt sharin it wit u guys which will be beneficial to u all.
Our character is a collection of our habits and habits have a powerful role in our lives. Habitconsist of knowledge, skill, and desire. Knowledge allows us to know what to do, skill gives us  the ability to know how to do it, and desire is the motivation to do it.    The Seven Habits move us through the following stages: 
1. Dependence: The paradigm under which we are born, relying upon others to take  care of us. 
2. Independence: The paradigm under which we can make our own decisions and take  care of ourselves. 
3. Interdependence: The paradigm under which we cooperate to achieve something  that cannot be achieved independently.Much of the success literature today tends to value independence, encouraging people to  become liberated and do their own thing.  
 The reality is that we are interdependent, and the independent model is not optimal for use in  an interdependent environment that requires leaders and team players.    Therefore, the first three habits focus on self‐mastery, that is, achieving the private victories  required to move from dependence to independence. The first three habits are: 
• Habit 1: Be Proactive 
• Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind 
• Habit 3: Put First Things First 
  Habits 4, 5, and 6 then address interdependence: 
• Habit 4: Think Win/Win.
•Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood.
• Habit 6: Synergize.
  Finally, the seventh habit is one of renewal and continual improvement, that is, of building one's  personal production capability.     To be effective, one must find the proper balance between actually producing and improving  . Effectiveness is a function of both production and the capacity to produce.  The need for balance between production and production capability applies to physical,  financial, and human assets.    Habit 1: Be Proactive;Focus on the things you can actually do something about. Change starts  from within, and highly effective people make the decision to improve their lives through the  things that they can influence rather than by simply reacting to external forces.  

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind;Begin everything you do with a clear picture of your  ultimate goal. Develop a principle‐centered personal mission statement. Extend the mission  statement into long‐term goals based on personal principles.   
Habit 3: Put First Things First Manage your life according to your needs and priorities. Spend  time doing what fits into your personal mission, observing the proper balance between  production and building production capacity. Identify the key roles that you take on in life, and make time for each of dem.

Habit 4: Think Win‐Win Integrity: Stick with your true feelings, values, and commitments,be mature and considerate of the feelings of others.Abundance Mentality: Believe there is plenty  for everyone. Seek agreements and relationships that are mutually beneficial. In cases where a  "win/win" deal cannot be achieved, accept the fact that agreeing to make "no deal" may be the  best alternative. In developing an organizational culture, be sure to reward win/win behavior  among employees and avoid inadvertantly rewarding win/lose behavior.Dont tink of ur own personal interest alone,try to look at d situation and suggest a solution that will benefit both parties.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood;Learn how to communicate clearly  and listen to others. This habit is the most important principle of  interpersonal relations. Effective listening is not simply echoing what the other person has said  through the lens of one's own experience. Rather, it is putting oneself in the perspective of the  other person, listening empathically for both feeling and meaning.    Habit 6: Synergize; “Two heads are better than one.” Through trustful communication, find ways  to leverage individual differences to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts.  Through mutual trust and understanding, one often can solve conflicts and find a better solution  than would have been obtained through either person's own solution.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw;Allow yourself to grow by maintaining a balanced program in the four  areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual. Take time out from  production to build production capacity through personal renewal of the physical, mental,  social/emotional, and spiritual dimensions..
