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." I think this means to be a hard worker and always stay on task. When you do this, you will be efficient at whatever you are doing. I think this will help us on being the best we can be. If you want to become something in life you have to be proactive, which means to not be lazy and waste your life watching TV. You should be out there learning new things, meeting new people, going to places you have never been. An example of this can be when you are in school. You shouldn't just be an average student who only goes to school because they have to. You should be enthusiastic and be apart of clubs or band or anything that would look good on a college or job resume. You have to be thinking about the future and be aware of how the present will affect your future.

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)
I think this quote means to not be manipulated by someone else and only do what's best for you. When you do this you will feel like you are in charge of yourself. You will control your own faith and destiny.If you start something without seeing threw till the end you might give up when you can't think of what to do next. An example of thins can be when you have an essay to do. If you don't have a lay out or know in which format the essay has to be done, you will struggle because you won't have had planned ahead or had any kind of guide on how to do it. Another example could be when you start on a test. When you start it with the end in mind you are more likely to do your best on all of it till the end. If someone was to run for president, they should be thinking on how they would address their position from the start of the campaign up to the end of their 4 year turn. This is needed to be successful.

"Organize and execute around priorities.
4."Think win-win or no deal."
I think this means that you have to always think that everything is a win-win. An example of this can be when you are getting interviewed for a job. You have to be telling yourself that you will get the job and when you are determined to do something, then the chances are that you will succeed. Another example of this habit can be when you are taking a test. If you study and go over all of your notes to make sure that you will pass your test, you also have to tell yourself that you will succeed and when you are determined you can do almost anything. Another example of this is when you are teaming up with a friend or co-worker to get something completed you have to think about what they win when you win.
7. Sharpen the saw
What this habit means is that you should always improve yourself and be the best you can. When you sharpen a saw in real life is because it has become dull and when it is sharpen it can do its job better and quicker. This habit is a metaphor saying that we are the saws that need to be sharpen. An example in where this habit can come in handy can be studying for a test. You need to be as sharp as possible to not fail.
Final Reflection
I think this means that you have to execute and try your hardest at a certain task. By that I mI think that these seven habits are very useful to apply to your everyday life in order to be successful in life. I believe that perhaps the most effective habit out of the 7 would be to begin with the end in mind. I can use all of these habits to improve myself as a student and as a person in general. I can use the first habit, "Be proactive" by always trying to find something useful to do. The second habit, "Begin with the end in mind" can be used to always first think about the outcome of your actions before you go with them. The third habit, "Put first things first" is a useful habit to start to do if you are a procrastinator which I know I am, and I can use this habit by making my homework the first thing I do when I get home. the fourth habit, "Think win-win" Can be used when I am trying to do something that requires another person's help. I can use the fifth habit, "Seek first to understand, then to be understood" when we are learning a new lesson in class. The sixth habit, "Synergize" can be used when I am trying to decide where to eat when I am hanging out with someone. The seventh and final habit, "Sharpen the saw" should be used everyday. You have to be as sharp as possible to be your best.

"Organize and execute around priorities.
ean that you have to do one thing at a time but you must complete them. An example of thins can be with chores. Some people try doing them all at once and end up making a mess. That's why it is important to do one thing at a time and see it threw. When I say put first things first, that also means to do things in order. You have to stay in order to ensure that you can move on when your previous step is completed.
