The Fourth Habit, "Think Win-Win", has created a path for me to help each other in my surroundings. It also helped me to think good for others. The Fifth Habit, "Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood", helped me develop listening skills. With this habit, I have been classifying things that are important to remember and things unimportant to remember. I closely listen to the things which are important to remember for me, analyse and understand them well, which helps me to easily remember them. The Sixth Habit, "Synergize", has helped me to work more efficiently in a team. It helped me to combine the ideas of the entire team, which helps in maintaining peace, equality and fraternity among all the members of the team.

The 7 habits has trasformed me into a better person it taught me how to manage time and to take responsibilty for my actions.

Habit 6 has taught me to work with others to get better results through teamwork. they taught me to become a better person and achieve my goals.Be Proactive – This habit emphasizes the power of choice and responsibility. It's about recognizing that we have control over our responses to situations, rather than blaming external factors. For me, this habit serves as a reminder to focus on what I can control and to take initiative in shaping my future, rather than waiting for things to happen.

Begin with the End in Mind – This habit encourages us to define a clear vision for our lives, setting long-term goals and aligning our daily actions with that vision. It has made me more intentional in my decisions, making sure that the small, everyday choices contribute to my bigger life goals.

Put First Things First – This is about prioritization and managing time effectively. Covey advocates for focusing on important tasks rather than reacting to urgent but less important things. I’ve found this habit to be transformative in terms of cutting down on distractions and learning to say no to less important things that don’t align with my values.

Think Win-Win – This habit emphasizes seeking mutually beneficial solutions in relationships and collaborations. It helped me realize that cooperation is often more valuable than competition, and that finding solutions that benefit all parties involved can create stronger and more positive relationships.

Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood – Communication is key in this habit. It stresses the importance of listening first, before trying to express our own views. This habit has made me more empathetic and patient, and I find that taking the time to truly listen often leads to more effective conversations and problem-solving.

Synergize – This is the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It’s about leveraging the strengths of others through teamwork. I've found that working with others who bring different perspectives and skills can often lead to creative solutions and better outcomes than working alone.

Sharpen the Saw – This habit stresses the importance of self-care and continuous improvement. Covey compares it to sharpening a saw—if we don’t take the time to refresh and renew ourselves, we become less effective. This habit has reminded me to make time for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual renewal.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective people have helped reflect on who I was as a person and how I could improve. "Put first things" first helped me prioritise my work better and make better study plans. "Be Proactive" helped me learn responsibility and the ability to take the first step in situations. "Think win-win" helped me learn consideration for the people around me and make equally beneficial decisions. "Begin with the end in mind" was a habit i already practised as a compulsive over-planner. "Seek first to understand, then to be understood" helped me become a better listener and more open to hearing people out on their thoughts and opinions. "Synergize" taught me the power of teamwork and the beauty of working together as individually unique people, coming together for a particular cause. "Sharpen the saw" helped me work on self improvement and learning to be a better version of myself. Overall, the 7 Habits have helped me tremendously over the years as I tried, and will continue to try being a better person.

The 7 habits have helped me in so many ways to learn and grow. The LIM classes have always been such a blast. I had so much fun learning about the habits, life skills, friendship and so much more. Habit 4 in particular has been quite helpful as when I fight with my sister, the both of us have been using the habit, "Think Win-Win: Aim for solutions that benefit everyone" a lot more in our daily life ever since we learnt about it. LIM has helped me in so many ways, and I can not wait to learn more about it next year.
