HABIT 2: BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

So, what do you want to be when you grow up? That question may appear a little trite, but think about it for a moment. Are you--right now--who you want to be, what you dreamed you'd be, doing what you always wanted to do? Be honest. Sometimes people find themselves achieving victories that are empty--successes that have come at the expense of things that were far more valuable to them. If your ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step you take gets you to the wrong place faster. HABIT 3: PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST To live a more balanced existence, you have to recognize that not doing everything that comes along is okay. There's no need to overextend yourself. All it takes is realizing that it's all right to say no when necessary and then focus on your highest priorities.  HABIT 4: THINK WIN-WIN think Win-Win isn't about being nice, nor is it a quick-fix technique. It is a character-based code for human interaction and collaboration. HABIT 5: SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD Communication is the most important skill in life. You spend years learning how to read and write, and years learning how to speak. HABIT 6: SYNERGIZE To put it simply, synergy means "two heads are better than one." Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation. HABIT 7: SHARPEN THE SAW Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you.
