A
book by Sean Covey for Teenagers
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens"
Sean writes, "This book is based on another
book that my dad, Stephen R. Covey, wrote several years ago entitled The 7
Habits of Highly Effective People. Surprisingly, that book has become one of the
best selling books of all time. He owes a lot of the credit for its success to
me and my brothers and sisters, however. You see, we were his guinea pigs...."
Sean writes about 7 habits, " ... These problems are
real, and you can't turn off real life. So I won't try. Instead, I'll give you a
set of tools to help you deal with real life. What are they? The 7 Habits of
Highly Effective Teens or, said another way, the seven characteristics that
happy and successful teens the world over have in common.... Here they are,
followed by a brief explanation:"
Habit 1. Be Proactive -
Take responsibility for your life.
Habit 2. Begin with the End in Mind -
Define your mission and goals in life.
Habit 3. Put First Things First -
Prioritize, and do the most important things first.
Habit 4. Think Win-Win -

Habit 5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood -

Habit 7. Sharpen the Saw -
Renew yourself regularly."
