The 7 HabitsOf Highly Effective

Teens

The world has totally changed since I wrote the first version of this book. Back then, there was no Facebook or Twitter. There were no smartphones. There was no DIRECTV or Netflix. How boring!Even with all these changes, a few things haven’t changed. Choice hasn’t changed. We are still free to choose what we do with our lives. The importance of relationships hasn’t changed. Relationships are still the thing that matters most. And principles-such as responsibility, vision, teamwork, service and renewal-haven’t changed. They still rule.…the 7 Habits really do work. Remarkably well! Among other things, they help you triumph over setbacks, build friendships, make smarter choices about dating and sex, and, believe it or not, even get along with your parents.

If teens aren't clear about where they want to end up in life, about

their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander and

waste time.

Create a personal mission statement which will act as a road

map and direct and guide your decision-making process.
