7 Habits Of Highly Successful Students Youths 7 part 1
Habit 7: Sharpen the saw
Youths should never be too busy in order to renew themselves. When youths “sharpen the saw” they are preserving their personal “self-sharp” in order to function properly. “Sharpening the saw” expresses the need for routine rejuvenation and strengthening the four key dimensions of life- the body, heart, mind, and soul

1.    Body: Eat wholesome fruits and vegetables, Consume protein from animalistic sources and non-animalistic sources such as legumes, Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, tobacco, alcohol, and tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Acquire plenty of rest, Prioritize sleep because sleep offers proper biological rejuvenation. “ An early bedtime makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”
2.    Mind: envision the world properly. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read proper literature constantly. Formulate intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk.”

7 Habits of Highly Successful Youths Part 5
Habit 5: seek to understand, then seek to be understood
Because most people do not listen very well, one of the greatest frustrations of life is that many do not feel understood. This habit

Will ensure that a child will learn the most important communication skill is: Active perception.
Why is this habit essential for proper communication? Well the most beneficial need of a child’s psychology is the need to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected due to their unique biological organism. People will not expose their emotions unless they feel respected and loved by the populace. Once they perceive the world through the yes of the respected individual, however they may exhibit and relinquish information you may not want to hear.  People really do not appreciate your knowledge until they have evaluated your compassion.
Listen with your auditory organ. “100 percent of communication is retained in the words we have gathered. 53 percent is retained with in our knowledge of words that seem appropriate toward the situation at hand. 40 percent is retained with in our enthusiasm to speak.
Most People are would rather speak than perceive. We have one oral area and two auditory sensory organs. This teaches us to listen intently and speak with moderation. We obtain much more information when we listen rather than when we speak. Learn to perceive and perceive to learn.

Listen in order to process information.
Seek first understand then to be understood

7 Habits Of Highly Successful Children
Habit 4 : think win-win
Children can learn nurture the belief that is able to create an atmosphere known as win-win in every relationship. The habits encourages the idea of any given discussion or situation in which both partners can arrive toward a mutual agreement. Your child will learn to  appreciate the accomplishments of others instead of being insulted or challenged by the accomplishments. Win-win is a belief in which a child expresses equal chances of accomplishment between others. It is both a nice and a resilient belief. I will not step on you. But I will not be your doormat either. You are compassionate toward other people and you want them to succeed. But you are also preoccupied with your own success. Win-Win is abundant. It is a belief that inspires sharing an compassion. It is neither you or me. It is both of us this belief can be equated toward a all you can eat buffet in a sense.
Win-win always creates in abundance. Perhaps the most surprising benefit about thinking Win-Win is the good feelings it grants. The true test of whether or not you are thinking win-win or one of the alternatives are your emotions toward your belief. Win-lose and Lose-win thinking will cloud your processing and judgment. Win-win will fill you heart with proper and sincere thoughts.

7 Habits of highly Successful Children


7 Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 2
Habit 2: Begin with the end in Mind
If children are not clear about what they want to do in their lifetime, they may not be sure about their values, their goals, and their ideals. Help your child create their own proper objective which will serve as their template and through that template they will build a road that will act as their guide toward the decision making process.
“Keep your eyes on the price.” Determine your objectives and persevere until they have realized and achieved their objective. Then set another goal or objective that you would proceed to achieve.

Begin with the achievement of your particular objective and visualize then realize. Start by targeting your objective cerebrally: you have to know what you want to achieve.
One objective you must establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school- but you must receive your diploma honestly and with integrity.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Children Part 1


7 Habits Of Highly Successful Children Part 1
Habit 1: Be proactive
Being proactive is the key to the discovery of other habits. Help your child take control and responsibility of his or her own life. Proactive individuals understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or sorrow. They do not blame others for their own actions

Or feelings. Proactive people realize that they are in control, that they are the captain of their own life: that they are in control of their own, decisions, thoughts, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are catalysts: They do not wait to be told what they are supposed to do, they assume control of their life and enthusiastically navigate toward their own achievement, their duties, their actions, and their own responsibilities, Their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey you instructors. Obey with exactness, and you will achieve what you want to achieve. So be proactive and intuitive.

7 Habits Of HIghly Successful Children


7 Habits of Highly Successful Children
For children, life is not a playground it is a jungle. And, being the parent of a child is not an easy task. In this book the “Habits of highly successful children,” the author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass that provides a proper learning establishment for a parent and a child and their daily encounters.”
How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack there of? The life of a child is filled with tough inconveniences and life changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible for helping them adapt toward the principles and ethics of a proper civilian, and though your teachings they will have a successful life.
While it is proper to instruct children upon the process of life navigation, “children will be heavily influenced by their parents and therefore learn from them,” Covey states. So practice your sermons, your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book “ Habits of Highly Successful people,” which sold over 15 million copies, Sean is like his father and therefore is not lazy. His own book has sold over 2 million copies. Here are some of the habits listed, and some ideas for helping you child understand and apply the skills.
