Habit Number 2 Summary

Decent Essays
This is a good summary of the book. It makes us re-think about our daily life and our habits. All these seven habits are applicable in our daily life. To be proactive is about making the most every day. This means, not complaining about our life situation, but focus more on what we can do about it. Habit number two is to begin with the end in mind. I see this as making a plan, a mission, something to get us started in what we want to achieve. Put first thing first is prioritization, know how to prioritize our busy life between work, school, family and social life. I think win-win sounds more like altruism in the video, but when we think about it, it is not. We need to see life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Seek first to understand,

    After I read the 7 habits book, I started to know that I don’t actually have an appropriate balance among the various aspects of my life (family, friends, work, and so forth). I started to know this as I read the RBA (relationship bank account) pages. I came to know that about me because in the RBA section, RBA deposits and RBA withdrawals, I read the RBA deposits and I didn’t fit into all of them, but as I read the RBA withdrawals I came to know that I fitted into almost everything like Break promises, Talk too much, and Keep to yourself.
