The 7 habits of highly effective people
1. Be proactive; Be value-driven
--carefully thought about, selected and internalized values
Subordinate feelings to values; take initiative and responsibility to make things happen
Don't become reactive people who are affected by physical, social or psychological environment: driven by feelings, circumstances, and contidions
Take initiative
Use Proactive languages
--- a paradigm of determinism
"Let's look at our alternatives"
"I can choose a different approach"
"I control my own feelings"
"I can create an effective presentation"
"I choose, I prefer, I will"
Serious problem with reactive language: it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. --- people become reinforced in the paradigm that they are determined, and they produce evidence to support the belief.
they feel increasingly victimized and out of control
