4) Habits Review and Habit #4 -

Habit 1 - Be Proactive

I am a responsible person. I take initiative, I CHOOSE my actions, attitudes and moods. I do not blame others for my worng actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking.

Habit 2 - Begin with the The End in Mind

I plan ahead and set goals. I have a personal mission statement. I keep my values at my centre. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my school and my community and I look for ways to be a good citizen.

Habit 3 - Put First Things First

I spend time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized.

Habit 4 - Think Win-Win

I balance the courage to go after the things I want with consideration for what others want. I make deposits in other's emotional bank accounts. When conflicts arise, I look for third alternatives.
