Habit:4 Think Win-Win

You can usually tell what your paradigm is by asking yourself a few questions like :<ul><li>What is the driving force of my life?</li><li>What do I spend my time thinking about ?</li><li>Who or what are my obsessions?</li></ul>Whatever's most important to you will become your paradigm, your glasses, or your lIfe center. And Principle-Centered life is The Real Thing. Like, honesty is a principle, hard work is a principle. A principle centered life is the most stable , unshakable foundation you can build upon.

Paradigms About Life

The Personal Bank Account (PBA)

What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?

Habits are things we do repeatedly.But most of the time we're hardly aware that we even have them.Depending on what they are, our habits will either make us or break us. Luckily,you are stronger than your habits.You can change them.

What Exactly Habits Are!

"So be sure when you step with care and great tact and remember that life's a great balancing act.And will you succeed? Yes,you will,indeed! "

A paradigm is the way you see something; it's your point of view, frame of reference, or belief. Paradigms are like glasses. Sometimes our paradigms are way off the mark, and as a result, they can create limitations in our life.For instance: if you believe you're weak in maths, that very belief will make you really weak though you have potentials .

Paradigms

Think about the crossroads of your life.Think about friends, school/college,works etc.Then ask yourself: who's controlling these?If you don't control,someone else will control your life.So, at first set your missions or goals of life.Then try your best to achieve those. For this, you have to turn your weaknesses ito strengths.Thus you can make your life extraordinary.

Habit:2 Begin With The End In Mind

RBA represents the amount of trust and confidence you have in each of your relationships.Like the PBA (personal bank account) you can make deposits and improve the relationship or take withdrawals and weaken it.Some deposits are: keeping promises, Being loyal to everyone, saying you are sorry when needed. On the other hand, withdrawals are the opposites of these ; such as: breaking promises, gossiping about others, talking too much, being arrogant etc.
