The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens

Sean Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens encouraged me to be a more effective teen with his way of telling each habit like a story. Sean Covey showed how bad habits can be overturned by effective ones.

Of the seven habits one remains hard for me. Being proactive never seems easy. When a commemt I can not stand gets told, then the volcano starts to bubble letting reaction flow out. Reactions seem to light me up like gasoline waiting to explode. Proactive seems cool, but being calm remains hard for me.

Anyone who likes pictures and fun quotes should read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. I think that anyone who wants to become more effective should read this brilliantly written book.
