Habit 1:
Habit:2:
Habit 3:
Habit 4:
Habit 5:
Habit 6:
Habit 7:
Habit 1:Be proactive
"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude.I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."
Reflection:
What i think this means is that you have to become your own boss so that you can become proactive. Meaning you have to have a better attitude and and also become more aware of your actions. So the first step to becoming a highly effective person is to take control of your life and take it where ever you want to.
                                         
 
Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind 
"Control your own destiny or someone else will."(Jack Welch) 
Reflection:
What i think this means is that you have to take control of your future and have a goal set that you would picture yourself accomplishing. I will implement this in my daily life by setting goals that i would picture myself doing the future. 
 

Habit 3: Put First Things First 
"Organize and execute around priorities." 
Reflection: 
What they mean as putting things first is that you have to put everything aside and put your priorities in your lists or anything your trying to accomplish. Always put your priorities in front of everything. 

Habit 4:Think win-win 
"Think win-win or no deal"
This mean that you must make deals that causes you and the person you deal win have a win-win deal. Because if you were to have a win lose then one of you would be unhappy and if you were to both win then you would have a better future. 

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood 
"Diagnose before you prescribe."  


Habit 6: Synergize 
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts(1+1=3)" 

Habit 7: Sharpen the saw  
Four dimensions of self-Renewal:Physical,Mental,Spiritual,Social emotional
 
What sharpen the saw means is that you must balance out everything from you're heart, body, mind, and soul so that you can work better and feel better and to even improve in you're daily life.

Reflectiom: My overall reflection of the seven habits is that following and obtaining these 7 daily habits is a gift because helps you become  the highly effective person that you always wanted to be, For example being proactive means you have to be you're own boss and you can not let someone else take over you,re life and make choices for you. You have to make you're future and take control of it as well.

                   Three Fundamental Techniques in Handling People
Technique 1: Don't criticize, condemn or explain.
"If you want to gather honey, don't kick over the beehive."
Reflection: This first technique would have you not criticize people or complain about them. This technique means that you must not judge others or complain about them for how they may look. This cause you to compliment others.
                                               
 

 Technique 2: Give honest and sincere appreciation.
"The big secret in dealing with people."
Reflection: Showing honesty and sincere appreciation is a big secret when it comes to dealing with people. This technique means that you will have to give an honest opinion that will help and let them know you appreciate them. I will add this technique to my daily life by giving honest and sincere appreciation to my friends or new people i meet.

 

Technique 3: Arouse in the other person an eager want. 
"He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot, walks a lonely way." 
Reflection: This last technique means a lot because its what makes you seem more approachable. This technique. Once you have mastered all these techniques you will have the whole world with you and for those who don't want to know these techniques. Well you will be forever alone so good luck.
                                               
 

Final Reflection:These three fundamental techniques show you how to handle people. For example the technique that says  not to  criticize someone will help you understand what not to do when it comes to talking to someone. Technique 2 helps you get the other person to be comfortable talking with you. And step 3 says to talk about interesting things and make them be eager about your next conversation.

1. My Christmas break was okay because it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. During the break i had i went out with family to the movies and a restaurant. although i did go out it was still pretty boring because sometimes i would just stay home and play video games which bored me. Not only did i play video games but i slept a lot or most of the time. Honestly i didn't finish all my homework but i still did enough to finish it in a couple of hours. Break wasn't as fun as i thought it would be due to not being able to go out a couple of times but this also meant i had the choice to whether do nothing or read. I chose to do nothing although i did read a book/comic a couple times till i felt sleepy or got bored. For Christmas i got clothes, a drone, and a couple of money that i used to buy a game. There were a couple of times i decided to choose the right by helping my grandparents clean their garage.
