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.

This Saturday I went to my girlfriend little sister birthday party. I had a really fun time. I danced a bit with my girlfriend which is rare because I don't like to dance much because i'm not really good. Then I met her best friends. I can't remember all of there names but I eventually will. But her friends seemed like fun people to hang out with. I had a fun time with my girlfriend and her friends just fooling around. Then after they all left like at around 1:00am or 2:00am and the party was coming to an end. So my girlfriend and I started cleaning up and took us about an hour. Then everyone left and we watched a movie for about 30 minutes and then I had to leave home because it was 3:30am.

4 Ways to Remember Peoples Names
1. Commit
Begin by making a commitment to remember peoples names
Don’t let yourself off easy, blaming a “bad memory. Forgetting names is due less to a bad memory than to a lack of application. Tell yourself that you can remember names if you want to and if you work at it.
2. Concentrate
You can only remember what you observe. If you are distracted or not paying attention to the persons name then you might not remember it. Listen to the persons name, and if you forgot it or don't remember ask the person "Sorry, I missed your name. Can you give it to me again?"
3. Repeat
You can say the name immediately, say it multiple times in your head, use it in the conversation without overdoing, use it when leaving or even writing it down afterwards.
4. Associate

How to Win Friends and Influence People
Six Ways to Make People Like You
1. Become genuinely interested in other people
Becoming interested in people will make people really like you. You can really make a lot of friends if you become interested in others. "Do this and you will be welcome anywhere." I agree with this, many people will see that you are interested and care for them and are not a bad person so many people will think why not. It's a nice thing to be interested in other people and you will get some benefits from it.
2. Smile
To smile is an important way to make people like you. People don't really like to see others with a frown on their face. Smiling also makes you look better and a happier person. "Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you." This quote can be true to people you actually like and makes you happy to see them. Personally I think I smile a lot. I smile when I get happy to see people I really want to see like my parents, my girlfriend and best friends.
3. Remember names
Remembering names is very important to make people like you. "A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language." Remembering peoples names will also help you communicate with others. It also allows you to make more friends. "If you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble." This quote can be true, you will need to remember peoples names and if you don't they might think they might be irrelevant to you, and it can also be a little disrespectful.
4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves
Being a good listener is a very important to win friends. People like when others listen to them about themselves and what's going on in their lives. "If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener." I agree with this quote because to have a good conversation you must listen. I think I am a good listener. For example, if someone has a question on what they should do on something, I listen and give my opinion.
5. Talk in terms of the other man's interest
Talk about what the other person is interested about. This is important because they will like talking about their interest. "The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most.If I am trying to have a conversation with someone I will mention something they like. You can have a fun long conversation with a person over thing they are interested in. They can be interested in a sport, music, art, dancing, etc.
6. Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely
Making others feel important is a good way to make friends. People like feeling important, it makes them feel special and most likely they will want to talk to you more because you make people feel important. "The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (Johm Dewey)"Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic. I really like when people tell me something that I was involved in or something it makes me feel good. I think I make others feel important. For example, in the soccer team I ask people if they are going to the game or practice because we need everyone in the team to go.
Final Reflection: These six ways on how to win friends and influence people is pretty accurate to me. I believe all these ways are true. I do some of these ways as well. I usually always smile when I meet people. I am a good listener, I make people feel important and talk about their interests. Those are the rules I feel that I do well in. The rest I should improve because they are also very important.
