"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."



Be Proactive: I think it means that to be proactive you need to be active no matter what. Everyone needs to be active like that's bad not being active. You need to work for what you want and to be successful in life. It had to be all about you. Be solution focused. Focus on something that motivates you and makes you a better person. For example maybe your mom or dad might motivate you or your girlfriend or boy friend. Be accountable for what you say and do. If you say your gonna do it you do it no matter what the cost even if you don't want too. Use smart goals. Be consistent. You need to find the right people to hangout with like self driven and people who will succeed . Always be honest with your self and be humble when you work hard and what you get. 

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)

Habit 4: Think Win-Win"Think win-win or no deal."

I think it means that in order to win you need to think big and smart Most of us learn to base our self-worth on comparisons and competition. We think about succeeding in terms of someone else failing--that is, if I win, you lose; or if you win, I lose. Life becomes a zero-sum game. There is only so much pie to go around, and if you get a big piece, there is less for me; it's not fair, and I'm going to make sure you don't get anymore. We all play the game, but how much fun is it really?

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood

"Diagnose before you prescribe."

If you attempt to come up with a solution for a person’s dilemma before you fully understand it do you honestly think they are ever going to fully trust you? Would you trust your mechanic to bill you for parts for your car that he only thinks are broken based purely on what you are telling him is wrong? Maybe Unless you know for a fact that the person is an automotive psychic You would expect him “or her” to take a look at your car and do some work on it “first” before requesting payment, “Right?” The point here is; if you are the one playing mechanic when someone brings a problem to you; the only really good way to insure that they will trust you and what you prescribe as a solution for them to work with is through your practice of empathetic listening.

 Synergize

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"
I think it means that doing everything by your selfis better then doing it with other people because you can learn way alot if you do it by your self. You learn new items and it changes you. Work hard to contribute you get so much done in less time

Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good!
