The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit One: Be Proactive.: "The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person." (p.72)
Habit Two: Begin With The End In Mind.: "All things are created twice," first mentally and then physically or actually.
Habit Three: Put First Things First.: Reduce time spent on things that are urgent but unimportant and devote more time to what is more important but not necessarily urgent.
Habit Four: Think Win-Win.: Have an Abundance Mentality.
Habit Five: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood.: Listen empathically (getting inside the other person's frame of reference so you listen with one purpose: understanding) until you truly understand the other person's position. Then work on ensuring that you clearly communicate your thoughts and ideas.
Habit Six: Synergize.: Create a solution or a design or an approach better than either party could have produced individually.
Habit Seven: Sharpen The Saw.: The commitment to continuous improvement in each of the four aspects of human existence: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, and Social-Emotional.
