November 20 is my birthday. I don't really want anything but to just to go out somewhere fun and eat with my family and girlfriend. I know my family will probably give me a bit of money and I have some ideas of things to buy with the money. Maybe some clothes and shoes, I'm not sure yet. My mom told me she might give me a laptop and I really need one so I will be really happy and grateful if I can get one. She says that will count as my Christmas gift also. And I am fine with that.

This weekend I went to Olive Garden with my girlfriend. The food was really, really, really good. We got chicken Alfredo pasta and for the appetizer we got chicken soup and bread sticks. I had a great time eating and talking to her, it was a good day.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Habit 1: Be Proactive
Habit 1: Be Proactive
Being proactive is a very important habit to be a highly effective person. It means you are a responsible person. Always doing the right thing to do even when no one is looking. You choose your action, attitudes and moods. Being proactive is another way of saying your in charge of yourself and do things for yourself that you think will benefit you. "Don't be reactive but proactive. Thus you will happen your life." I feel like I am a proactive person at time. But only at times so I need to improve myself and always try to be a proactive person.
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch) Control your life and do what you think will be best for you. For example. if you want to be a doctor, go for it. Do what it takes and study the things you need to study. Do what you love. Don't settle for something you don't enjoy because you will be wasting your time and you could be doing something you like and be enjoying life. Don't follow others, follow your dreams. Think about what you want to achieve and what you have to do to get there.
Habit 3: Put First Things First
This habit to put first things first means to do your priorities. "Organize and execute around priorities." Do things that are most important to you first. For example, one of my priorities are soccer. So, I make time and practice or study soccer to make myself better because I really want to get better. Another priority that I have but personally need to work on more is doing all my homework.
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
"Think win-win or no deal." To me this habit means a state of mind and heart that always seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. They are agreements or solutions that are mutually beneficial and satisfying. Win-win also means to find a balance. For example, it's not your either nice or you're tough, you can be both. You can be sensitive but you also have to be brave. It's all about finding the right balance with things that will make you a better person.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood
"Diagnose before you prescribe." This is a habit so you can communicate better. You have to understand others to be understood. We spend many years learning how to read, write and talk. People listen with the intent to reply and not really understand.We also usually respond with our life experiences. It is important to know how to reply to others without always responding with something that you've gone through. In some situations it is fine to talk about your experiences. To me it is most important to understand others then reply appropriately.
Habit 6: Synergize
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"
To me this pretty much means two heads are better than one. Have good teamwork and be open-minded. For example, I play soccer so we need good teamwork to try to play well and win the game. Another example is lets say your trying to make a song with another person. You need to help each other out and let each other know how to improve and what your doing well. It brings many of peoples ideas and it could result in something great.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
The Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical,Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional
Keep yourself fresh. Renew yourself. It's really important to do that so you can have energy and do all the important things you need to get done. You can renew yourself by relaxing, eating healthy, waking up early and sleeping early and getting rest. Always find a way to keep yourself sharp and not be really tired and overdue things.
Reflection: I believe that all 7 of these habits can highly effect people in a positive way. I will try my best to use all of these habits to improve myself as a person and become successful.
