The 7 Habits develop and nurture these habits leads to success

What are habits?

The concept of success paradigm shift 

and helps the reader to understand

those different perspectives which exist,

two people have the same education,

knowledge, money/thing and yet they

differ with each other when we evaluate 

their success.

Following imperatives: Independence the

first three habits surround moving from

dependence to independence means  self-mastery.              1. Be proactive: Talks about the concept of Circle of Influence and Circle of concern.Work from the center of your influence and constantly work to expand it. Don't            

for problems to happen (Circle of

Concern) before taking action.

2 - Begin with the end in mind  Envision what you want in the future so you can work and plan towards it. Understand how people make decisions in their life. To be effective you need to act based on principles and constantly review your mission statement. Are you - right now - who you want to be? What do I have to say about myself? How do you want to be remembered?                                       If habit 1 advises changing your life to act and be proactive, habit 2 advises that you are the programmer! Grow and stay humble.                                              
3 - Put first things first Talks about the difference between Leadership and management. Leadership in the outside world beginswith the personal vision and personal leadership.Talks about what is important and what is urgent. Priority should be given in the following order:1) Important and Urgent2) Important and not Urgent3) Not Important and Urgent4) Not Important and Not UrgentIf habit 2 advises that you are the programmer, habit 3 advises: write the program. Become a leader! Keep personal integrity: what you say vs what you do InterdependenceThe next three habits talk about Interdependence (e.g., working with others)                                 
4 - Think win-winGenuine feelings for mutually beneficial solutions or agreements in your relationships. Value and respect people by understanding a "win" for all is ultimately a better long-term resolution than if only one person in the situation had gotten their way. 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.                   5 - Seek first to understand, then to be understood Use empathetic listening to genuinely understand a person, which compels them to reciprocate the listening and take an open mind to being influenced by you. This creates an atmosphere of caring, and positive problem-solving. The Habit 5 is greatly embraced in the Greek philosophy represented by 3 words:1) Ethos - your personal credibility. It's the trust that you inspire, our Emotional Bank Account.2) Pathos
is the empathic side -- it's the alignment with the emotional trust of another person communication.3) Logos is the logic -- the reasoning part of the presentation. The order is important: ethos, pathos, logos -- your character, and your relationships, and then the logic of your presentation.                        6 - SynergizeCombine the strengths of people through positive teamwork, so as to achieve goals that no one could have done alone. Continual improvement means kaizen theory used by Japanese peopleThe final habit is that of continuous improvement in both the personal and interpersonal spheres of influence.      7 - Sharpen the SawBalance and renew your resources, energy, and health to create a sustainable, long-term, effective lifestyle. It primarily emphasizes exercise for physical renewal, good prayer (meditation, yoga, etc.) and good reading for mental renewal. It also
mentions service to society for spiritual renewal. Covey explains the "Upward Spiral" model in the sharpening the saw section. Through our conscience, along with meaningful and consistent progress, the spiral will result in growth, change, and constant improvement. In essence, one is always attempting to integrate and master the principles outlined in The 7 Habits at progressively higher levels at each iteration. Subsequent development of any habit will render a different experience and you will learn the principles with a deeper understanding. The Upward Spiral model consists of three parts: learn, commit, do. According to Covey, one must be increasingly educating the conscience in order to grow and develop on the upward spiral. The idea of renewal by education will propel one along the path of personal freedom,
security, wisdom, and power.8 - Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs destinations / Goal.
