In addition, this book is filled with quotes and stories virtually real people in real scenarios, making this relatable to any age group facing difficult situations. Look at this as an opportunity to generate (Covey 57). I absorb always been a huge procrastinator.I would put off my schoolwork until the last minute and then cram it all the night before. And to pourboire that off I was also a Yes-man so I would worry about my friends work rather than my throw. Definitely not a nigh combination. You can obviously notice the lack of performance I showed, especially in my grades. I went from being a straight A student, to a B and C average. I didnt pay much attention to it though because everyone else had the same problem as well. I was surrounded by procrastinators, leading me to return that what I was doing was acceptable.It was not until I started to read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens that I noticed my bad habit. I didnt yet consider it a habit until I read a part in the book and realized that it sounded so familiar. Like if they had used my own personal experience and wrote it put through word by word. I never really put any thought to how a simple thing can cause such an install to me, and not just in my school life, but also my personal life. It was that moment when I promised myself to change. Change into a better me because I am competent of better. I am capable of being a Prioritizer, instead of a Procrastinator.I am capable of living a healthy and balanced life. I am capable of achieving my lifetime goals and continuously live up to my full potential. But how can I make a change? Where do I even begin? When my teacher introduced me t o this book, I had finally found the solution to my problems. Because unlike any other book, this book feels like it speaks directly to me. Like if it was my very own personal mentor, but even better because its in the comfort of my own hands. It not only pointed out my flaws, but also suggested various forms of how I can make a change. I am habit (Covey 1). Little by little, I was slowly improving my way of life. I highly urge on everyone to read this book, even if you feel that youre perfectly fine. Just read it and if you can relate to any of the stories used in the book, then you know that you have to fix something in your life. Take it as a blessing. These problems are real, and you cant turn off real life. So I wont. Instead, Ill give you a set of tools to help you deal with real life. What are they? The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens (Covey 5).
