Two prominent examples include Marius and Sulla, who rose up the ranks of Roman politics to Consul and disheveled Rome.

studies at a steady and smooth flow. To recapitulate, Covey suggests that there is a particular set of habits that individuals must develop throughout their lifetime in order to become highly effective people. Being proactive, putting first things first, seeking first to understand, then to be understood, synergizing, and sharpening the saw are five of the seven fundamental habits that Covey discusses in his book. I chose these five habits as I found them to have played a significant role in my past
greatly and make your life for meaningful and effective. Covey explains that if you are willing to make the changes that are necessary you will become a more effective individual. He describes that there are seven habits that make this all possible. The First habit is to be proactive, or “proactivity”, it is explained that being proactive means that we as humans are responsible for our own lives. Our performance in life is up to us and is not the result of things that have happened or experiences but the
that were lacking. Of all the seven habits, Begin with the End in Mind (habit two), Put First Things First (habit three), and Think Win-Win (habit four) are the building blocks to a sound, effective lifestyle. The second of the three “private victory” habits, Begin with the End in Mind is the first and most essential step to reaching personal goals.

communication for personal change. He advises building from the inside-out and offers a plan for moving from dependence to independence and then to interdependence. The inside-out approach starts first with one self, which includes paradigms, characters, and motivations. To improve relationships with others, we have to first improve ourselves by putting character ahead of personality. Covey prefaces the book by explaining paradigms and principles. Paradigms are maps that guide us and affect the way we interact
persistence. Why should you care? Because Horton is a great role model of this trait and anyone can learn from him. Horton, in comparison to Thidwick, and The Lorax is the most persistent. We could all learn something about persistence from Horton . First of all, Horton is more persistent than the Lorax because he sprinted through the night and into the morning to save the Whos. On the other side of the spectrum the Lorax only asked the Oncler three times to stop. Horton showed more persistence than

Circle of Impact Stephen Covey popularized the idea of the Circle of Influence and the Circle of Concern, in the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People. The Circle of Concern is composed of all the topics that we worry about, while the Circle of Influence comprises the concerns we can actually control. Cards drive you to concentrate on your Circle of Impact. This implies breaking down whether you played every card of that specific hand ideally. The coming up short on the cards exists in
