Literally it was came from the book written by Stephen Covey, where it was published in 1989, and has been a top-seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. The book title is 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.


What does the author means when he says about habits? From the title itself it was very intriguing After seeing it, out of curiousity i just tap the article to start reading it, and this what's lead me.


The First Three Habits surround moving from dependence to independence


Habit 1 - Be Proactive

creating or controlling a situation by causing something to happen rather than responding to it after it has happened.


In My Understanding!
Meaning make small commitments and keep them, Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. When you make mistake, admit it, correct it and learn from it immediately and don't get into a blaming, accusing mode.


Habit 2 - Begin with the End in Mind

Envision what you want in the future so you can work and plan towards it. Understand how to make decision in life.


In My Understanding!
It means whatever plans you have started, finish it, set your goals and fullfill your personal mission statement


Habit 3 - Put First Things First

In this part it talks about the difference between Leadership and Management what is important and what is urgent to you.
Priority should be given in the following order!

▶Not Important and not Urgent

In My Understanding!
Means that you must learn to prioritize and know how to sort a given task or scenario.


The Next Three Habits Talks About Interdependence

It is a character for mutually beneficial solutions or agreements in your relationships a based code for human interaction and collaboration.
