The answer lies within.…

    Before elaborating the habits, the writer started on “Get in The Habit”, which helped the readers in reading the chapters accordingly. Habits 1, 2, and 3 are the “private victory”, whereas habits 4, 5, and 6 are called the “public victory.” Lastly, habit 7 is the habit of renewal. The three habits that inspired me the most are Habit 1: Think Proactive, Habit 4: Think Win-Win, and Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood. These habits have changed my values and way of thinking either when I’m in a predicament or just a…

    The day of the eighth grade promotion was filled with mixed emotions. I was very nervous but also excited to be leaving middle school. I was mostly nervous because I would have to walk up onto the stage in front of over a hundred people. I didn’t want to go because of how nervous I was. The school day was uneventful. We went over what we were supposed to do in the gym multiple times. Even though the day was boring and uneventful, I was nervous the entire school day. In The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, Sean Covey states, “Putting first things first also deals with learning to overcome your fears and being strong during hard moments” (Covey 106). In order to overcome my fear and stay strong I had to put first things first. I was worrying…
