[@benn6499]

To save your time, I've listed and summarised the tips :) 1. Be Proactive - Focus on the things you can control rather than things you can't. 2. Begin with the end in mind - Are you doing things you want to be remembered as. 3. Put first things first - what we say vs how we allocate our time. 4. Think win win - For you to win they do not have to lose. 5. Seek first to understand then to be understood - Does what you do offer value? 6. Synergy - You can do more than just by yourself. 7. Sharpen the Saw - Go the long way even if it takes time.

*7 Habits* - Be proactive - *Begin with the end in mind* - Put first things first - *Think win-win* - Seek first to understand and then to be understood *- Synergize* - Sharpen the saw

[@calisongbird]

The correct punctuation for Habit 4 is “Think Win/Win.” The video actually got it wrong.

[@bharathsparky8685]

Key Points : Be proactive: Take responsibility for your life and your choices. Don't blame external circumstances for your problems; instead, focus on what you can control and take proactive steps to achieve your goals. Begin with the end in mind: Clarify your values, vision, and goals. Visualize what you want to achieve and create a clear plan for how to get there. Put first things first: Prioritize your time and energy based on what is most important to you. Focus on the activities that align with your values and goals, and learn to say "no" to distractions and time-wasters. Think win-win: Seek mutual benefit in all your interactions. Look for solutions that benefit everyone involved, rather than focusing on competition or zero-sum thinking. Seek first to understand, then to be understood: Listen empathetically and seek to understand other people's perspectives before presenting your own. Create an environment of trust and collaboration by valuing others' opinions and ideas. Synergize: Work collaboratively with others to achieve common goals. Look for opportunities to combine your strengths and create something greater than the sum of its parts. Sharpen the saw: Continuously improve yourself in all areas of life. Maintain balance and renew yourself physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

[@StephanieG1]

All these Self-Help Gurus just take it 100% for granted that people know what they want to do/be in life. I have not the slightest idea of what I want to do or become. I am just like millions of others who don't have the slightest idea about what they want for their life. However, these Self-help Gurus seem to think that most people know what they want and it is just self-doubt,anxiety or fear that prevents people from being successful in whatever field they choose. So these gurus write books, hold seminars and make podcasts saying:"Just get up 30 minutes earlier each day", or "be more 'proactive' and 'results driven'." These things will work but only if you know exactly what you want to be. Having a clear cut unshakable desire is more than half the battle. If you have this then all you need is really just to show up every day and you'll do that automatically if you find something that you genuinely love. Carlos Castaneda wrote that "a path with a heart doesn't make you work at liking it." This is useful because if you're doing something that bores you or something you think you'll enjoy sometime in the future,"once I get used to it." Then you're barking up the wrong tree. Something you love gives you energy, you feel more alert after doing it than when you started, and you'll never think to yourself:"I wonder when I am going to start enjoying this?" either. Take a good long look at all the books on your bookshelves. Classify them into type e.g. books on health, language books, science books etc and you'll get an instant snapshot of the things that interest you and maybe you can develop your passion using this technique?

[@FreeAudioBooks984]

+Stephanie G Your point that the self-help gurus take it for granted that people know what they want to do in life is well-taken. I would say that to jump into information like this first is putting the cart before the horse. It is not the fault of the gurus, nor can they tell you what your passion is. Just as you suggested looking at the types of books that interest you as a strategy for finding what your interests are, we have to do the work, employing different strategies/techniques over time to find our passion(s). Only then can we begin to apply what the gurus suggest. Good Luck!

[@CzechRiot]

+Stephanie G I think it's more of an irony actually. Most self help gurus are precisely people who DON'T KNOW exactly what they want to do, except that they want the most basic stuff, like money fame and power. That's why most self-help gurus become self-help gurus, because they keep searching for advice for so long that they end up becoming experts on self help material, instead of actually using self help material as a means to achieve success in sports, in music, in movies, in creating real products (not dvd's and books and steps-programs and whatnot). People who REALLY KNOW what they want are already doing it from an early age. In the same sense that people who want to be fit or buff are mostly already doing it in their teen years. Also, sometimes the person is just not good enough or didn't have enough luck in order to succeed and make a living out of what they really wanted. This is not a "defeated mentality", it's just an observation. Watch how many very talented artists get eliminated throughout the several rounds in show like X Factor or American Idol. Many others actually had success at one point in time (I used to watch those Where Are They Now? or One Hit Wonders shows on VH1). Many people were once "rich and famous" and later became nurses, school teachers, or whatever regular job type of people. There was this kid from the show Zack and Cody, which was the number one show on Disney Channel around 2007, and the guy was working at a restaurant a couple of years ago... In my mind a kid on a number one tv show on Disney would be a multimillionaire, with the capacity of starting his own restaurant, apparently this is not the case. How many of these people that are making "decent" money on KZbin nowdays do you think will still be making money off KZbin in 5 or 10 years? When everyday there's dozen new people starting up KZbin channels offering pretty much the same type of stuff, or better? Yes, some people will always surf a better wave and make enough money to retire, or adapt. But what's not so evident to most people is that the ones who succeed in the long run already have a mix of qualities inherent to them, that is not reproducible by others. Funny people are funny by nature, cute girls are cute by nature, people obsessed with exercise are like this by nature. Most self help gurus are like that by nature, they have the "cult leader personality". The way they talk, their voice tone, the way they smile, their natural hyperactive behavior. They like to talk, they like to be seen, they like to be the center of attention, they're narcissistic. This overconfidence is natural to them. They can say whatever, and it sounds like truth, because they speak with a firm belief, that in the everyday real world comes only from people who are VERY certain about something. You listen to them speaking and you subconsciously believe you just have to do it, and the results will be obvious, because it's all so obvious! So, eventually, a few of the thousands of people doing something because they felt motivated, will actually move upwards, in some sense. And their future testimonials will then reinforce the obvious truisms, giving even more credit to the gurus.

[@FreeAudioBooks984]

What a hateful response. You're basically trying to put down and marginalize anyone who instructs. Not everyone can teach others or speak persuasively. It's an art and you have failed miserably to give credit where it's due. In fact, your very long post is spent criticizing the efforts of those trying to help others. Some self-help gurus suggest avoiding toxic people. That would certainly be you.

[@CzechRiot]

1000mishi That was not hateful, but I'm under the impression my next comment might be... hahaha

[@CzechRiot]

You are stupid bro... How is it that I'm "trying to put down anyone who instructs?" I'm mostly describing situations and aspects of it. I'm not saying anything that these guys are crooks, assholes, etc. I'm actually stating that they have personal qualities that are not common. How is that failing to give credit? The self-help gurus are talented people, naturally talented, and who have worked to perfect those skills. I say so in my comment, but you're just too obsessed with "avoiding negativity" that you almost completely shut off any critical thinking (although actually you take the time to read it and try to knock it down, instead of actually simply disregarding it, as some people would). The real world is the real world, If I make an analysis of the best possible outcome and the worst possible outcome, you can't say I'm being negative because I accept there's a possibility of horrible things happening. Or, more likely, that "normal" things will happen, and nothing extraordinarily good will come out off your efforts (in this case, simply listening to gurus). It's like I tell you that it's unlikely that you will win the lottery, and you tell me to shut up and stop being a hater.

So the message stating stopping being asshole applies to me as well as rest of us who wish to improve things. Dishonesty purging I mean stopping being asshole. check out the link that would help. I hope this explains the generic use not targeting you specifically email if if you want to debate further [e-mail] All the best.

This channel is one of the most awesome KZbin channel I have seen for a very long time now! I can only compare the joy of watching these videos to real professional veteran KZbinrs like Vsauce, SmarterEveryDay or CGP Grey... I am really impressed by your work man! Only discovered it like 2 days ago and watched all the videos, some of them even twice. Gorgeous animation, professional narration pleasant music and incredibly interesting topics! This is something I can really realate to. This channel deserves millions of subscribers! Everyone should watch these at least once, to plant some good ideas into their minds instead of watching all the bullshit around here. I hope you continue your work, because the world needs these educational crash courses about these important books and thoughts. The way you synthesize them with your own experience and thought makes it a unique masterpiece of the web! Keep up the awesome work! Subscribed! :)

I wish i knew what happend to this guy... This Channel was my inspiration to start my own animated book review channel in SPANISH. It is amazing that a channel like this one just was abandoned. :(

[@riteshshukla1709]

Sergio Rugerio yes I miss his videos

[@Isignedup4this]

I took a leap of faith and moved to unfamiliar territory. My morning commute was sometimes 1.5 hours. His videos helped start my morning... awesomely intriguing channel to say the least.

[@riteshshukla1709]

Mia yeah his videos are amazing ,they still helps me

@@CiaoFooTanks4AllTheFish yup, he's back and he said he was tired of bullshitting people for 3 years. Guess this video was him bullshitting too then.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaXPhat5abZ6bsk Probably because of the color of the attacking guy, I didnt cared Im just saying what is probably the cause.

[@masteroogway8521]

That's the wrong people

[@scotts6596]

attacking guy is in a Hooded attire, very accurate..and doesn't imply race..unless you are so inclined to assume the racist excuse to complain.. exactly the point of video. excuses, and finding a way to be a victim needlessly...habits! it's sooo personal! grow up.

[@tobiasrekker5376]

I bought this book years ago and never read it. Now I am in a different frame of mind. I am ready to read it, embrace it, and use it to create my life as I desire it. Thanks for this great video

#7 reflected so much of our mentality these days, how we look for quick fixes because we no longer realize the long term value and benefits in smaller but significant habits that require discipline, dedication and consistency (exercise for example)

[@dido.the.side.h0646]

wow I just put this on out of interest while I was filing my schoolwork, but it actually had really useful tips! And more than that, the tips were well demonstrated with examples and allegories. Great job!

Habit 3, Put First Things First has had the most impact on my life. Live your life by design, not by default.

[@gkriston84]

I agree, habit 3 is the most powerful, but we need to understand the rest, to provide context for it. I became so enthusiastic about the book, that I've made it into a framework. Would love to know your your opinion on my take of the 7 habits: n-hance.io/why-do-you-need-a-decision-making-framework/

[@joshrossj-ro8713]

Fantastic video!! I love how you brought each of the 5 principles to life in a little over 5 minutes. My dad gave me this book years ago. After several years I finally ready the book and loved the concecpts. Your stories and pictures helped me remember and apply the principles. Thank you so much !

Don’t read this book. Study it, summarize it and really apply it. I promise it makes a huge difference. One of the best books I’ve ever read.

[@titoli1]

Just catch yourself every time you complain and understand that its just a thought. Be mindful and try to use affirmations to make new seeds in your mind that are full of positivity. Best time to do this is in the morning. And also changing your environment or relationships can make a huge difference also

[@briann5524]

"i have to" means you won't do it. At least not now. It's similar to a lazy person saying "I should do more stuff." It's a step up from "I can't do that" but it's still not useful to you. Say "I choose to change that" or "I will change that" or "'I'm changing that now", or even say nothing at all, and just do the damn thing. Write up strategies to help you stop complaining and implement it. it needs to be a firm statement. Otherwise you don't really want it, you're just saying you should because others are telling you. But your inner core must be firm about it, in order to change.

Summary • BE PROACTIVE Focus on what you can control • BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND • PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST If everything is important, nothing is impprtant. • THINK WIN-WIN Offer value to others • SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD • SYNERGIZE Team work • SHARPEN THE SAW

[@nanayaden8528]

Wonderfully encapsulated the main concept of the book. Thank you for this:)

[@medicmandan]

This is a great video with an engaging narrative, simple yet easy animation and a tempo fit the modern era. Thank you!

Put first thing first is a gem. When I accomplish this valuable goal first I am energized to have a great day. Thanks for the reminder.

what a good video! so clear and yet simple to understand 👏👏 thank you for making it.. you did a great job 👍👍

[@marshacreary2442]

I love the fact that this book addresses how we deal with crisis and the hamster wheel of cyclical crisis by focusing more attention on quadrant II in the management matrix. Quadrant II provides specifics about how and where to be proactive and avoid consistently wasting time while putting out fires in Quadrant I (How many people spend their entire lives in Quadrant I?). By utilizing this action plan, you can avoid burnout that most people experience Thank you for posting

[@jumbledsunshinestudios]

I love your channel name of "fight mediocrity" because it's so important to always be stretching and reaching to become better! Keep up the good work! :)

I like when people say seven ways to this or seven signs to show that.. F THAT. One rule in life. Hakuna matata. don't worry, be happy. if material things make you happy, work for them and be happy. if having sex makes you happy, bang your brains out. if hiking makes you happy take water in the Mojave, take mosquito repellent in the Everglades. find out what makes you happy and do it.
