- Seven habits of students who consisitently succeed in my courses.
- Be Proactive
-
- You are responsible for your life. Decide what you should do and get on with it. You are responsible for your learning. Embrace opportunities for deeper understanding of your course.
- Begin With
The End In Mind. -
- Think of the legacy you wish to create in every aspect of your life, and then make every decision and take every action on the basis of that desired legacy. "All things are created twice," first mentally and then physically or actually.
- Put First

- When it is time to be in class, be there. Be there; on time, assignments prepared and fully ready to constructively participate. Ask questions, lots of them. Ask for help when you do not understand. Turn off the cell phones and pagers.
- Think Win-Win.
-

- Seek First
To Understand, Then To Be Understood. -
- Listen empathetically (getting inside the other person's frame of reference so you listen with one purpose: understanding) until you truly understand the other person's position. Then work on ensuring that you clearly communicate your thoughts and ideas. Understanding requires respect for all; me, your classmates, and college staff.
- Synergize.
-
- Create a solution or a design or an approach better than either party could have produced individually. The fruit of the teamwork embodied in Habits Four and Five. Be supportive of your classmates.
- Sharpen The
Saw. -
- The commitment to continuous improvement in each of the four aspects of human existence: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, and Social-Emotional. Another way to think about this: practice, monitor, adjust, then again and ...
