“We first make our habits, then our habits make us.” -English Poet

I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half the things you do might just as well turn over to me and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly. Those how are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures. Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.

 In order to be successful, you have to develop EFFECTIVE habits.  EFFECTIVE PEOPLE HAVE EFFECTIVE HABITS.

 Be proactive  Begin with the end in mind  Put first things first  Think Win-Win  Seek first to understand, then to be understood  Synergize  Sharpen the Saw  React/ Blame everyone else  Begin with no end in mind- never set a goal  Put first things last- put off important stuff until after you’ve had fun  Think win-lose- be constantly competitive  Seek first to talk, then pretend to listen- talk all the time. You’re the only own who knows anything, right?  Don’t Cooperate  Wear yourself out- never take any time for yourself to do something you enjoy on your own
