Post of the day
was reading THE 7th Habits of Highly Effective Teens. it was written by SEAN COVEY. Its a nice book ! I chanced upon this passage .
We crawl before we are able to walk. We learn arithmetic before algebra.We must fix ourselves before we can fix others. If you want to make a change in ur life, it begins from you, yourself and no one else. All change begins with you. It's inside out and not outside in.
2 Baby steps A Day can help you organise yourself well.
1) Keep promises to yourself - identify one easy task that needs to be done today. E.g putting in a batch of laundry or reading book for an english assignment.
2) Do random acts of Service - Sometime today,do any kind or good deed for example writing a thank-you note to your friend for the things that he/she has done for you.
Now im going to tell you peepos a difference between REACTIVE and PROACTIVE.
REACTIVE - people who makes choices based on impulse. They are like a can of soda pop. If shakes them up a bit, the pressure builds and they suddenly explode. Example : " Hey,you stupid jerk ! Get out of my lane!"
Choices made by REACTIVE PEOPLE :
1) Tell her off. Then hit her
2) Spread vicious rumuors about her. After all,she did it to you.
PROACTIVE - people who make choices based on values They think before they act. They know they can't control everything that happens to them but they can control what they like do about it. Proactive people are like water. Shake them up all you want,take off the llid and nothing . No fizzing,no bubbling and no pressure. They are calm, cool and in control. Example : " I'm not going to let that guy get me upset and ruin my day.
Choices made by PROACTIVE PEOPLE :
1) Forgive her
2)Confront her and calmly share how you feel.
3) Ignore it and give her a second chance.
Well well well, by looking at the 2 above examples,i guessed i belonged to PROACTIVE peeople. Reason ? Im easy to cool off after argument or quarreling,forgive people about their bad deed and hoping they would turn over a new leave. Encouraging at times, Gives support. Alot more lar.
So my friends out there, read this post and tell me which group of people u belong to yea ? thanks !
