Habit 1: Are You Proactive or Reactive by Colby Joiner

• Do you act like an animal about 70% or more of your life?

• If you’re hungry would you eat anything you want no matter if there are rules?

Happily presented by Tyler Sun and Corey Criss

Don't have a plan

If you don't have a plan then you won't have any goals in life and you will be a clueless person.

Avoid goals at all costs

If you avoid all your goals you will achieve nothing and you'll become a big couch potato.

Never think about tomorrow

If you never think about tomorrow then you'll have no plans for anything.

Why worry about the consequences of your actions

If you don't worry about your consequences of your actions then you'll do whatever you want whenever you want and will end up in jail.

Live for the moment… party on!

If you live for the moment then you'll only think about what's going on during that time.

You have a science mid-term, but your favorite new clothes store just opened up. You couldn’t miss that.

• You think your science mid-term can wait as you sneak out. • You’re grounded, and your mom takes your phone for failing

the test.

• Dad can’t you see I’m working here

• Mom you’re messing up my hair

First things Last Finale

Habit 3: Put first things lastby Jaquline Mueller

You get invited to a big party but you have 10 pages due for homework…….

You go to the party anyway; you don’t know how to do anything in the class; you are behind on the homework and are failing in the class now.

DON’T go to sleepThere is a new episode of Pretty Little Liars and you want

to watch it but you have to go to sleep because of your big exam the next day…

You watch the show anyway and you fall asleep during

the exam. You fail, and your mom and dad are contacted because you fell asleep in class.

DON’T practice on your sports

Your coach says to practice but instead you want to play video games so you play video games….

In the game you stink, you strike out, and you get pulled out of the game.

DON’T do your chores You text your friend instead of doing chores and your mom says if you keep texting them she will take away your phone and you will be grounded…..

You text them anyway and you get grounded. Your phone is taken away, and you don’t get to use it for a week.

To review

• Whatever is most important in your life, don’t do it until you have spent sufficient time watching television, talking endlessly on the phone, surfing the net, playing video games, and lounging around.

• Always put off your homework until tomorrow.

• Make sure that things don’t matter always come before things that do.

Don’t do Your HomeworkYou are invited to a friends house but you have an essay due the next day…

You go anyway and get bad grades because you didn’t do your homework.

Habit 3 by Rachel Walkup

Don’t Study

You have an exam the next day but instead of studying you play video games all night…

You end up failing the exam because you didn’t study.

Don’t do Your Chores

A chore you are responsible for is to feed your pets. You are continuously calling or texting your friends…

Your pets end up hungry, or someone else takes up for your responsibility.

Don’t Take Care of Your Possessions

You don’t take care of your possessions, you throw them around and don’t care for them…

Therefore your possessions are ruined and your parents don’t buy you any more as a punishment.

Highly Defective Teens Think Win-Lose

See life as a vicious competition. Habit 4 by Kieran and Jovanna

Get ‘em firstYour classmate is out to get you, so you'd better get ‘em first.

They win, you lose.Don’t let anyone else succeed at anything because, remember,

if they win, you lose.

Drag them down!If it looks like you’re going to lose, however,

make sure you drag that sucker down with you.

You were born with a mouth so use it. Make sure you talk a lot.

It doesn’t matter if the teacher is talking, if a classmate is talking, or even if your mom or dad is talking. Just keep talking

Habit 5: Talk First and Pretend to Understand by Caleb Reynolds

Always Express Your Side Of The Story First • Before anybody else gets to say anything

share your part of the story first. • Don’t let anybody share their side of the story. • Make sure every understands your views.

Pretend To Listen By Nodding And Saying Uh-Huh When someone is talking just pretend to listen.

Don’t actually pay attention to what they’re saying. Remember no one needs to understand their views as long as everybody understands your part.

If You Really Want Their Opinion, Give It To Them

• Tell them your opinion. Let them know what you think. • It doesn’t matter about what their opinion is. Just as

long as they know your opinion everything is all right.
