- – - stephen covey’s seven habits of highly effective people® November 16, 2007
Posted by janargy in Lessons in Life.trackback
habit 1 – be proactive®
This is the ability to control one’s environment, rather than have it control you, as is so often the case. Self determination, choice, and the power to decide response to stimulus, conditions and circumstances
habit 2 – begin with the end in mind®
Covey calls this the habit of personal leadership – leading oneself that is, towards what you consider your aims. By developing the habit of concentrating on relevant activities you will build a platform to avoid distractions and become more productive and successful.
habit 3 – put first things first®
Covey calls this the habit of personal management. This is about organising and implementing activities in line with the aims established in habit 2. Covey says that habit 2 is the first, or mental creation; habit 3 is the second, or physical creation.
habit 4 – think win-win®
Covey calls this the habit of interpersonal leadership, necessary because achievements are largely dependent on co-operative efforts with others. He says that win-win is based on the assumption that there is plenty for everyone, and that success follows a co-operative approach more naturally than the confrontation of win-or-lose.
habit 5 – seek first to understand and then to be understood®
One of the great maxims of the modern age. This is Covey’s habit of communication, and it’s extremely powerful. Covey helps to explain this in his simple analogy ‘diagnose before you prescribe’. Simple and effective, and essential for developing and maintaining positive relationships in all aspects of life.
habit 6 – synergize®
Covey says this is the habit of creative co-operation – the principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, which implicitly lays down the challenge to see the good and potential in the other person’s contribution.
habit 7 – sharpen the saw®
This is the habit of self renewal, says Covey, and it necessarily surrounds all the other habits, enabling and encouraging them to happen and grow. Covey interprets the self into four parts: the spiritual, mental, physical and the social/emotional, which all need feeding and developing.
oooh., i so agree with habit #4., although, i think of a different concept when it comes to the term win-win.,
ey sir., exchange links? – http://janmania.blogspot.com
ni link ko kau.,
habit 7 is the best!!! it enables me to strenghten all the weak points that i’ve got to be able to improve myself and achieve my goals!!!
i think, all of the seven habits are very important, like the habit #3, example, you must wear off first the pants before the underwear, go on first at the top before the bottom, you must put inside first before you pump, and you must pump first before it comes out,.. ooppss.. i know what is in your mind.. hehe.. its just an example.. do first thing what is first in the line up..
natatandaan ko pa ung habit #1.
sinabi nyo sakin un, sirkuya jan.
hahaha.
i think,i should apply those habits in my every day activities..makakatulong talaga to ng malaki!
super applicble ito s lht ng gsto mgng leader in the near future so am i kya i’m gonna use it….tnx…
Being a highly effective people is one of the best things that a man can ever experience. in the “habit #01″, i think that this is the most meaningful and a MUST for a person to practice, the so-called SELF-DECISION that, OURSELVES ALONE can ever do, and decide what our perception desires and thinks.
This part of the blog is a MUST for politicians, managers, and future leaders to READ and UNDERSTAND fully for them to arrive at their best…
as I did.
i like habit n0. 7
generally, it talks about all aspect of life…
and i agree with that,
dapat lhat ng aspects ng life nten pinagtutuunan ng pansin,,
not only physical,but also emotional,spiritual,and social. di lang pagpapaganda,, haha..
and un nga, kelangan rin nting magrow in all this parts of ourselves…
iyong habit 3 ang madals kung gawin. talagang nakatutulong siya. sa experience ko subok na ito. lahat ng mga task ko natapos ko kapag ginagawa ko ito.
the seven habits are important but i think the last habit is the most indespensable. self renewal… what a nice word. it is even nicer if we put it into action but it is certainly hard to do. the person under this commitment should devote himself into sincerity. i think this habit must be first acquired before the all the other six.
The #1 reminds me of adopting to the environment that im not familiar..just like in college life..it’s so different…but through the help of being friendly..i am now a survivor.. as a whole…no one is an island..we need other people to live, to share what we have and to fill the emptiness in our hearts..positive thinking and team work leads us to success..LET’S VOLT IN….
habit no. 7 reminds me of the parable of the pencil.. veri inspiring..
All of those 7 habits are were very important to us humans who keep on striving our aims in life….tnx at may bago na naman akong natutunan….
nice habits… i also like habit number seven…miss maneja can you please tell me the parable of the pencil…because i am not familiar with that story…(it is also my habit to look after at your comments)…..(hahaha mgkatabi kc tayo habang nagcocomento)
ok sa habits..i like habit no. 5:seek first to understand and then to be understood.. i’m always misunderstood kasi..hyaha..aun
all of these habits are important….
those habits are just excellent..
to achieve success, we must apply all this habit,,,
applicabla lahat ng habits sa lahat ng gustong mging leader am i ryt or left??.. hehe we need all diz habits in our daily life…
Irene Santos bps 3-2, habit one is the most painful but rewarding lesson to execute in one’s life
those seven habits are really important in ones life, yung habit#3, para maging in-order yung lahat ng ginagawa natin, dapat alam natin kung ano yung mga priorities natin, yung #7, I think yung pinakamahalaga, kasi sabi nga dun, lahat ng habits nasasakop nun….
this habits will surely help us future managers in becoming a leader specially ung habit # 1, 3,4.
ol of them are important…but for me habit no. 7 fits coz how will you do those other six if you lack the abilities within you…life is tough so we better be strong enough to survive it and we should start within ourselves….and then the other six would be easy….thats it …thanks for those lessons…
this habits is very effective for us future managers specially ung habits’ 1,3,4…
ung mga habits very useful, ito ung magdadala smin for being successful leaders
very effective ung mga habits for us future managers specially ung habits’ 1,3,4….
well basically… all this habits must be applied to oneself… if someone is aiming for a better future and lie down in a bed full of money (aren’t we all?) this 7 habits will surely help us achieve that… especially habits # 2,3 and 4…
whatever pieces of advicwe there might be, as long as you are rational you wouldnt always be in the right path… rationality comes when your thinking, actions and decisions are fair to you and fair for every one around you…trust me…
habit 6 – think win-win is very true! specially for those people who losses hope na in their life! go!
whatever pieces of advice there might be, as long as you are rational you would always be in the right path… rationality comes when your thinking, actions and decisions are fair to you and fair for every one around you…trust me…
The 7 habits are effective in making us highly effective people if and only if we do every one of it effectively!!!!!
habit 4 is very true! specialy dun sa mga tao n nawawalan n ng pag asa sa buhay!
….hmmm…once you’re an effective individual it follows being an effective leader…and once you’re now a leader you possess these two things— power and authority.,,.power to enforce rules and authority to command..with this matter i think this 7 habits of covey is the counterpart of robert greene’s 48 Laws of Power…counterpart in the sense that you no longer need to use other’s own capacity in order to be powerful ‘coz there is an alternative one, and that is— Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People…hehehe..
hAnEp aNg mgA habiTs.. uBeR!! hehe.. very inspiring.. ehH kng niaApply baH nmn toh sa bUhay nten nAku cGrdo lHt tAu succeSsFul in lyf.. hEkhEk…

wow isa nanaman sa mga reviewer q…sana makabisado q xa
hmmmm…. I think really have to take note of habit no. 5…..
mas trip q ung habit 3, sa kadahilanang may lohikong ipinakikita sa bawat pag-iisip at pagkilos ng isang tao. bow!!!
Covey’s message to the “7 Habits: is personal effectiveness and personal enhancement. The challenge to see the good and potential in oneself and the other person’s contribution makes us more efficient in all our effort. It brings about changes in our paradigm.These changes help us undrestand why we are who we are.
About first things first…
I like to point out that today’s generation needs to make a paradigm. As part of the younger generation we are often asked to sort out things. To meet the deadlines, time frame, etc.. etc…
From this book, I learn that we should first classify our decisions from what is urgent and what is important.
Urgent is our short term goal. important is our long term goal. try to think of it.
Often times we make decisions that are not important in our life…And this is the sad reality of our life.
How to distinguished which is urgent and which is important? Read stephen Covey’s First Thinhs First—he he he
agree ako sa 7 habits… pnakagusto ko ung # 1 and 5…di koh kasi habit yun eh…
pero mas maganda kung iapply lahat ng habit na yun…

sir…
this book by stephen covey: 7 habits of highly effectv people is one of my favorite books. Its one one the highly recommended readings for someone who wishes to become succsful… I really liked the 7 stages articulated in the book especially the idea of being “INTERDEPENDENT” that people sould act and perform actions for the benefit of all that is involved… It espouses the idea that “WE” should act together in acheiving for a common end…
Well nice, sana maaply ko all of these , most especially habit no 5 and 4……thanks sir
habit 6 – synergize®
i love this one..the whole is greater than the sum of its parts..is speaks about TEAMWORK..naalala ko tuloy ung PIG team nung youthcamp..we love to synergize..kahit indi kami masyadong nananalo..at least indi isa lang nagdodominate ng group..we really take time to listen to every voice in the group..
at dahil jan..Sir Jan,,team bldg.pu tau before magchristmas break..para sa mga workshops namen..hehe..bonding lang..na tau-tau lang..buong IR 4-2..hehe..ndi po sa wawa ah..hehe..
c’mon..let’s SYNERGIZE..let’s go out..hehe..
practice the habit you’ll never be lost….
after reading the stephen covey’s seven habits of highly effective people there is one positive thing came into my mind…these 7 habits all boils down of being optimistic in life. all these habits surely were good guidelines to be successful in life…al we need is to motivate ourselves to practice these habits..self-determination is one of the things we forgot and ignored..
d’best po ung habit #7…pag naiapply un.
lalo n personal effectiveness
habit 3,4 and 5 mas maganda if ma apply sa buhay…
several companies have given these seven habits training or seminar to their employees. it helps everyone give a positive outlook in life which in the long run will be beneficial to ones environment.
habit 1! the best! DON’T ALWAYS GO WITH THE FLOW FOR THE SAKE OF GOING WITH THE FLOW…you should have your own preferrences based on what you truly need inorder for you to become a better leader.
the win-win mind set, we must keep this in our minds. hindi yung palagi na lang panlalamang and crab mentality.
habit number 5, dapat ko ‘tong iapply sa sarili ko. gusto ko raw kasi lagi akong nasusunod sabi nila claire (totoo naman kasi, haha!)
all in all, nice!
habit 5 – seek first to understand and then to be understood
listen then talk…
oo nga naman….
sadly, medyo mahina yata ako dito.. mahilig ako sa talk eh…. pero tama nga naman… oo nga naman… dapat nga naman…. lol
for me, i think all that habit is good for us, for our life
uhmm.cguro ung habit no. 3, and 5..dpat cguro un skin..^_^V
keeping these habits in mind would really make a person great. these habits are hard to conform to but I think possible to do. ^_^

I READ AND HEARD TO MANY TIPS ON TO BE AN EFFECTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL PERSON,BUT READING, HEARING, DESIRING ARE NEVER ENOUGH FOR YOU TO BE AN ACCOMPLISHED PERSON, WE HAVE TO DECIDE FOR OURSELVES, DECIDE TO CHANGE AND START NOW!
IN EVERY GOAL, THERE SHOULD BE A DEAD LINE!
SET YOUR GOALS AND SET YOUR DEAD LINE ALSO!
GOD BLESS TO ALL OF US BECAUSE IT TAKES OF DYING ONESELF IF YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTER TO BE CHANGED. BEAR THE PAIN! IT’S A GAIN THROUGH LOSS!

I like habit 7… lahat pwede i-apply!!
I like habit # 1….
It is true that most of the time, its the
environment that’s controlling us…
It’s like those people who believe in
destiny. i really don’t know why these
people just letting things happen instead
of making things happen ….
sana mgawa ko silang lahat in my every other acitvity..gusto kong maging productive na tao..ang sarap sa pakiramdam nun..
un #3 ung pinaka gs2 ko. you should know wat to do first, and wat to prioritize.
definitely, habit 5 is very very good… understanding should and must be accompanied by being considerate.
habit 8- be optimistic
always think and feel positive!
