Habit 1: Be proactive
"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my own destiny, not just a passenger."

Being proactive means you are the type of person that will not wait for something to happen but in contrast you are going to take the first step into the outside world and do things yourself. No matter hoe complicated or out of reach something might be if you're proactive, you will find a way to accomplish that task.

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)

Never start a project thinking about all the hard work it is going to require, always keep in mind how it is going to look at the end and everything will be worth the struggle, just stay focused on finishing and actually making it worth it.

Habit 3: Put First Things First
"Organize and execute around priorities."
Let me get started; Life, something more wonderful than what words can describe, since the beginning of someones life things are given. It might come in the form of emotions, or something physical, but the true aspect of this is that at some point a decision in which it might be required to choose something over everything else will come to you. That is when putting first things first comes in handy, it is going to be a harsh decision, because feelings and emotions will come in and create dilution and strong feelings, but once things are placed in the order they need to be, life is going to be way easier. It is a habit that will create tremendous change, because when you are willing to do your homework first, when you are willing to clean before going out, when you are willing to put your responsibility before fun you are on your way to success. There is nothing more to it, just focus on what is really important, and fun will come to you.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win
"Think win-win or no deal."
Always have an optimistic mind, do not think negative or underestimate a situation.

Habit 5: Seek First to understand, then to be understood
"Diagnose before you prescribe."

Habit 6:

Habit 7: Sharpen the saw
Four Dimensions of self-renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional
Life is like a machine, in order to make it function many things are needed, not just a motor.

                         School Break Days

During my break i had a repetitive routine which included waking up, running some errands, going out with my friends, riding around and going back home. Only in few occasions did i change my routine, this rare occasions were Christmas and New Years Eve in which i spent time with my family and loved ones. During one of our adventures we went riding to the mountains which required a lot of effort and plenty of water bottles.
