HABIT 1 BE PROACTIVE Taking Initiative in Life. Taking Charge of our Life. Taking Responsibility. Stimulus - Response Opposite of Proactive is Reactive. “No one can hurt you without your consent”. Mahatma Gandhi

Proactive Model Stimulus Freedom to Choose Self Awareness Imagination Response Independent Will Conscience

HABIT 2 BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND Write your Epitaph Are we Managing our life or Leading our life? Management - is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success. Leadership - is whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall. What is the mission of your life?

Efficient Management without Effective Leadership is just like straightening the deck chairs on the TITANIC. Personal Mission Professional Mission Family Mission Social Mission Spiritual Mission Identify your roles Forget the Past-Plan for the future.

HABIT 3 PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST Time management is called life management. How effectively we use our time ? Discipline yourself. “The successful person has the habit of doing the things failures don’t like to do it”. Organize yourself & execute around priorities. Understand between important & urgent.

HABIT 4 THINK WIN / WIN Helping others - so that they reach their goals & nature will also help you to win. Make others win & you win. Win/win - Both the parties win. Win/Lose - I win / you lose (Authority) Lose/Win - I lose / you win (Compromising) Lose/Lose - I lose/you lose (Ego-stubborn) Apply the above principles according to the circumstances faced. Trust & consideration play a major role in these situation. You need abundance mentality - relationships agreements.

HABIT 5 SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD We have taken training to read, to write but not to listen. Five types of listening : 1. Ignore 2. Pretend 3. Selective 4. Attentive 5. Empathic

Entering into the frame of mind of other person listen with your eyes/heart/ear. Give a person “Psychological Air”. Sympathy - Feelings “For” somebody. Empathy - Feeling “AS” somebody. Diagnose before you prescribe. We always Listen to reply, we never listen to understand.

HABIT 6 SYNERGIZE Synergy - multiplying effect of nature. It is creative co-operation. It is unity - strength - compensate on weaknesses. Create an environment that nurtures self esteem / self worth. Synergetic relationship - be a total person. Synergistic communication - at home/office. Synergistic in business - handling & understanding the customers.

HABIT 7 SHARPEN THE SAW Sharpen your saw in four dimensions : 1. Physical 2. Mental 3. Spiritual 4. Social Physical : Exercise - Flexibility - Strength of the muscles. Mental : Read / Educate yourself audio programs - do not sit idle- stop excessive TV watching.

Spiritual - Pray - Meditate - Reinvent yourself. Social : Serve people list out how many friends do you have. “Service is the rent that we pay for living on this planet”. MOTHER TERESSA We are not Human Beings Having Spiritual Experiences but We are Spiritual Beings Having Human Experiences.
