Habit 1: Be Proactive. I am a responsible person; I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods. I do not blame others for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked,

even when no one is looking.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my classroom and contribute to

my school’s mission and vision, and look for ways to be a good citizen.

Habit 3: Put First Things First. I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow

my plan. I am disciplined and organized.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win. I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want. I make deposits in others’ Emotional Bank Acounts. When conflicts arise,

I look for third alternatives.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood. I listen to other people’s ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints. I listen to others without

interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas. I look people in the eyes when talking.

Habit 6: Synergize. I value other people’s strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other

people’s ideas to solve problems because I know that by teaming with others we can create better solutions than any one of us alone. I am humble.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. I take care of my body by eating right, exercising, and getting sleep. I spend time with family and friends. I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not

just at school. I take time to find meaningful ways to help others
