I don't know what it is but if you think about it the only genre of music that has lasted through out the years is the metal. This might be a little biased but in all honesty I think that it has since there has been many other genres through the years and yet in the end they fall or just become unpopular cause of the day and age. Metal on the other i see as a genre that can be played anywhere in the day and age well mostly anywhere. Things such as Electronic music has already been dying at least now you can see that there is less and less searches for this type of music. I enjoy many different types of genres i just don't think that they can surpass what metal is today in the sense that it has one of the largest followings of people then you see how Pop music now where it has started to become popular but i doubt it will ever surpass what metal is. You can even tell by the concert that Bands have i mean look at one of the most popular rappers today and then you look at the concert of one of the most famous metal bands and you will see that there is a significant larger amount of people in the metal bands concert than there is in the rappers concert 

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People 

Habit 1. Be Proactive

"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."

Now in being proactive what do you think this means to you. In this case It would usually mean to be active in most things. Even if you don't think you can be active just try your best. To proactive is to be active your school work and outside of school. This could help with a lot of this and really help with college. But how can this help with college you might ask. Well this helps with college because of how colleges look at their applicants now. The way colleges look at their applicants now is seeing just how active they were in things such as how active you were inside and outside of school. This is now just one of the many things that colleges look at now because they want to see if they can at least get the student to go and work in the school for them which could really help around the school and sometimes from what i see you do need to be proactive around school to get your homework done some might require you to go somewhere because the teachers want you to experience something first hand and then report on it or maybe just make a video about or something like that.

Habit 2, Begin with the end in mind

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)

"When you know where you intend to end up, you know where you are now." (Covey)

This is a good habit to have because of what it is trying to say. This should a be a normal for everyone because you need to know where you want to go rather than try to figure out where you are going halfway into whatever you are doing. Its like this when you are going somewhere you usually think about where you want to go first rather think about it later. I mean imagine you were on a road trip just you and a friend and you guys don't even know where you guys are going well then one of you can just take control and take the other one to somewhere that you want to go. This should serve as a example to what this is trying to say to you. This should also help you understand this much better if you didn't already understand it. The habit should always be used and always be applied since this is something that you should be doing every single day from since you were able to tell i want to go here. Later on in the years this becomes much more difficult since the place you want to in some cases requires you to have something maybe an I.D or something of importance there will be cases where you want to go such as a job but it requires you to have some sort of diploma or some experience for you to able to join.  

Habit 3 Put First Things First

"Organize And execute around priorities"

In this habit it is talked about how you should put the most important things first. Putting first things is something that everyone should be doing since this does help people prioritize what needs to be done first in their life. If there are things that are holding you back than you should start putting the most important things first and start leaving the rest for after your done. I know that there is a lot of things that could be considered important but its what must be done at the start rather than later in the time. This should be done for many things in your life at your house, at school, or at work if you have work and this should help with what you are going to be doing in that time and that place. If there are thing more important than others than it should be a given that those things must go first rather than later because if not than you will end with even more work than before. This is something that a lot of people learn to do sooner or later when something important comes up or when there is a lot things that need to be done.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

"Think win-win or no deal." 

In this habit i guess its important to do this because it shows that you don't let things get you down even when the times are tough. This could let let you see that there are good things in what you are doing and even if you think that you lost you could still gain from. You could also think of it as a possible out come and both outcomes are good ones. Outcomes aren't all bad expect when they are so there will be good ones and bad ones. This is a habit that is in what i can take from it is that it is telling you to keep your chin up even when things don't go your way. This could be helpful in many ways because it lets you see that just because things don't go your way you could always see that there are goods sides to things. If you think no deal then that's when you know that the thing you are choosing to do or were choosing to do is a no go is just plain bad maybe either that or you just have some other reason for not doing it. This should also be said that this habit is so that people see life as a cooperating rather than competitive

Habit 5: Seek First to understand, then to be understood

"Diagnose before you prescribe."

This is one is a pretty important for someone and for others since people are suppose to know what they are doing before they do it. This just like how a doctor would give someone medicine before they do anything else to give someone medicine they need to see whats wrong with the person before they prescribe. This would be the same with meeting someone new you would have to know about them before really anything else unless you really don't want to know about the person. Most of the time people would ask for the persons name their interest and other things like such and this helps the person be able to understand what the other person is like most of the time it helps sometimes it wont. This is really important to for a lot of different reasons things for a lot people such as teachers, bosses, and others. This helps teachers because the first thing they want to do is understand how the students are to be able to adjust to each student or maybe the whole and be able to help thee students in the way the should be most effective to them and then be able to learn much easier or faster. Bosses helps them because like this they are able to understand the people they hire which should give them the impression of how the person is and also be able to determine weather the person would last in the job or not and also weather it was the right choice of hiring them or not.  

  

Habit 6: Synergize

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"

What does snynergize mean is what people have to ask. If you were to look it up it would more than likely just say something along the lines of working together. This should be something that is very important for many different areas. This is really important in getting a job done in the since of a team working well together. If you look at any team that knows what they are doing you will that they communicant with each other in all times to be able to work well. You see sports teams and they will be talking with each other and planning out a strategy for their next play and they remember it. If you see the members of  a band you can see the had practice and they are able to play their instruments well together same with the lead singer all band members work together to get out the sound that they need at a live show. This is also the same with competitions such the video game concerts each of them talk with each and calling stuff out so their team knows what is happening if they don't know already.  This in a work place such as an office or movie set goes the same way you must communicate with your team or co workers to be able to finish a objective effectively and quickly. This is also how the police force works and how an army works they all are able to know what is happening because of communication. Communication is the most important thing you will ever have so remember it use it and if you think you can't yes you can there are many different ways and forms of communication.

Habit 7: Sharpen the saw

The four dimensions of the self-Renewal: Physical, mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional

In the 7th habit you can see sharpen the saw but now what does this mean. This means to more or less keep yourself active may not have to be physical but as long your not becoming dull maybe you can do things such as read a book or watch some sort of movie or play brain games. This can all help you out in your daily life since your brain wont dull out or it wont just be out of practice. Sometimes but not always you should still play some sort of sport since this would also help you out in the case of this so you can go and have something to play maybe you should play something with your friends to make it a little more fun. It doesn't even have to be a sport but just something to get you active in your time so you wont be worn out or so your muscles wont hurt. 

Reflection: On the final reflection about this 7 habits of highly effective people I would like to say that this are good habits to have just really annoying to be told again and again about them or even just reminded about them again and again. I would that as long as you know them more or less or just don't be a rude person I think you should be fine there isn't much that people need to know about being an effective person. If you think you are effective enough then who is there to tell you otherwise it is also i feel that maybe if you can something faster by whatever means go ahead and do it. Overall I have applied to my life but not in the same way I have explained here in different ways. this could be helpful to many people and it could help them everyday life maybe make it better or worse for them. There are many things that can come into play which would be an obstacle but as long as you are at the place you want to be and feel that you are achieved well that should be good enough for on your terms and if you don't consider doing more or better.
