Student Success Statement

“So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the “in group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important.”

Sean Covey

This statement means that if you are part of a group, you will start to lose the right in you because what if you’re doing something that leads to choosing the wrong. For example if you’re in a band that choosing nothing but the wrong that isn’t important because you need to focus on leading the right path and following your dreams so you can have your freedom & happiness you can have.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 1

(By Sean Covey but modified)

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their count, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they take control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people that are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be Proactive and take the initiative.

By Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of touch issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.

Covey himself was done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold.
