Habit 7: sharpen the saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life –body, mind, heart, and soul

1)Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2)Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind  through positive “self-talk.”

Habit 6: synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better a living the others habits, especially at thinking win-win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form v formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and father you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: learn to celebrate differences. A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound”. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

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 this 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 tough issues and life- changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principle and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life. While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, ‘’ teens watch you do more than they listen to what you say, ”covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential. Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen covey, wrote the book the 7 habit 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. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply then:
