1- Be proactive.

Take accountability for your reactions to your encounters, take the initiative and change the situation. Identify your power circle and worry circle. Focus on the core of your power and strive to broaden it continuously. Don’t sit and wait for problems (Circle of Sense) in reactive mode before taking action.

2- Begin with the end in mind.

View what you want, so that you can work and prepare for it in the future. Comprise how people in their lives make choices. You need to act on principles and continually review the mission statements in order to be successful. Are you — who you want to be right now? What do I think for myself? How want to you be recalled? If house 1 suggests that you change your lives to become proactive, house 2 says you’re the programmer! Keep humble and grow up.

3- First things first.

Discuss what is necessary and desperately needed. In the following order, priority should be given:
Quadrant I. Critical and immediate (Do) — major time limits and emergencies
Quadrant II — Long-term growth, not immediate but necessary (Plan).
Quadrant III. Urgent but not important (delegate) — time disruptions
Frivolous disruptions (eliminate) — Not immediate and not significant (eliminate)
The order is important; we should spend much of our time on items in quadrant I on item II, but many people spend so much time in item III and in item IV. The appeals for delegation and elimination are a strong reminder of its relative priority.

4- Think win-win.

Genuine feelings in the relationships for mutually beneficial solutions or deals. In the end it is easier to honor and support people by knowing “a victory” for all than if only one party had gotten its way in the circumstances. Win-Win doesn’t mean it’s cool, it doesn’t mean easy patch. It is an interaction and cooperation code based on the character

5- Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Use empathy to listen in order to recognize honestly a person who compels them to listen and to be open to you. This provides a thoughtful and optimistic problem-solving environment.
The Greek theory of habit 5 is very much accepted by three words:
1) Your professional reputation. Your personal credibility. It is the trust you inspire, your account in the emotional bank.
2) Pathos is the empathic aspect of the moral faith of contact with another person.
3) The logos is the presentation’s logic justification component.
The order is important: ethos, pathos, logos and the logic of your presentation themes.

6- Synergize.

Combine people’s talents and constructive teamwork so that they can reach goals that nobody should have accomplished alone.

7- Sharpen the Saw.

Align and refresh your finances, energies and wellbeing in order to build a sustainable, productive and sustainable lifestyle. This stresses physical renewal activity, good prayer, good reading for emotional renewal. (meditation, yoga, etc.). Service to society for moral renovation is also listed.
