"You make your habits and your habits make you."

 When somethinhg is done habitiually, it becomes a second nature to you. It just becomes a part of everyday life. If you try a smoke, then try it when your stressed, it'll soon continue until you are dependent onit everyday. You need that edge to keep you stable for the day. Now this does not necesarily mean that drugs are the only thing that are habitual. It may even range to your daily duties of washing your hair to brushing your teeth; preparing for a game or going to sleep at night. All of the habits we create for ourselves create and combine to make us who we are today. Study habits will make us better-organized and enhance our learning abilities.
 The habits we practice make us who we are good or bad.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

Foe teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teen, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problem 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 principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it is well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covet 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 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 that respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his own seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:
