  1. I would say that I can relate to quite a bit of things in habit 4, (think win win). I say this because, I get along well with other. In school, and at work. School, to start with because, I don't think the 7th graders are any different from the rest of us. They're just younger, and are new to the school. We were once 7th graders and didn't know where all the class rooms' were. We were also afraid of being late to class, so we would run down the halls to get to our lockers.

    Some ideas that stood out to me in habit 4 was treating everyone equally, and having everyone win. I would say that work is a big one. At work, we have all different titles, RN'S, LPN'S AND NA'S. Although the NA'S are at the bottom of the totem pole, they are very good help. When you ask them for help, 9 times out of 10, they always will. They hardly ever say no. Which is good working at place like a hospital. When teamwork is mandatory. Not only do they help us with our work, but when they need help doing something back in the Emergency Room, they will ask us. Being equal, and working as a team really helps in getting the job done.

    2. I agree with you about the 7th graders. We don't understand that we were all there at one point in time. You are a very nice person and I do see you treating everyone equally.

  2. What stood me out the most is think win-win. Because if its before football game and if I think really hard that we can win because we work all week for our first game and we win because everybody but effort in to make it happen. When wrestling comes I do the same thing if I think that I can beat him in my match and keep thinking about it and I belive that I could and then I did I feel really great victory

  3. i can relate to a lot of things in habit 4. when im doing things with other people i always think win win. i do this because 1st i don't like to listen to people fight and argue because that just get really annoying after awhile. 2nd id rather have everybody be happy than be mad at each other and cause more drama.

    some things that stood out to me were treating people equally and having everyone win. like with school you should treat everyone the same and not just pick on or bully someone for being different. you should treat people the same way you want to be treated. the having everyone win is a good way to keep everybody happy and not argue. i do this all the time playing games or doing stuff so i dont have people argue or get mad at each other because someone won or lost.

  4. I think i can relate to ( think win win). I say this because if I put my mind to something I tend to do good at it rather then just jumping in to something you no nothing about. Some ideas that stood out to me in habit 4 would have to be treating everyone equally. In school is a big thing because you have a bunch of other people with you. Such as younger kids because I no a lot of us older kids can get a little mean to them walking through the hall and thats not right when we use to be that young and worry about being late to class and all of that.

    1. I agree Richard, you should always put your mind to something that you know how to do than just to jump in you know nothing about.

  5. there were a few things that stood out to me in habit 4. one, like Richard said, is treating everyone equally. i think this is very important to do. even though many people dont treat everybody equally it is important to at least try. I try to treat people equally but there are times when it is difficult to do.

  6. i can really relate to things in this chapter like think (Win Win) i can say i relate to this because i can typically get along with most people unless they are annoying and obnoxious little brats who get on my nerves. usually when i put my mind on something to accomplish i can usually get it done it might take awhile but i will usually get it done to the best of my ability's. i don't look at our younger group of people any different then i look at us teenagers they are just inexperienced self replicates of ourselves.

    A good idea that stood out to me in habit 4 would be treating people equally. in our world we are all created equally by God so i don't understand why some people are treated super different then the rest of us just like if you see a homeless person on the side of the road they are the same as you they just have different features doesn't mean you have to look at them like they are something from another planet because that is there stereotype in life that they are a freak of nature they cant help that they are like that well maybe they can maybe the did stuff before they became homeless that they could of avoided but anyway speaking we are all equal so we should all be treated equally.

  7. I agree with a lot in Habit 4. I think that is hard to always think win-win all the time. Surrounding yourself with people that always cheer you on even when you beat them at something are the kind of people that you should be around. I also think that once you start thinking win-win it's hard to stop. Being stuck on the totem pole isn't much fun either. I know what it feels like to be up there all by myself and wondering were I went wrong.

    The competing and comparing parts really stood out to me. I see this everywhere I go. I even do this sometime. I will try to make sure that I do better than some people just so I can say I defeated them. In the end it wasn't worth it. I compare myself to people often to. It eats at you if you get jealous that someone has something that you want. I have learned that being jealous or comparing yourself to others does not get you anywhere. It does not affect that person at all. I try to complement people on things that I want and love and it makes me feel better about myself, knowing that I can be a bigger and better person that I know I am.

    1. TRUTH! I'm glad you know that you need to be the bigger person and not be jealous. Most ladies can't do that.

  8. I really like the "Tumor Twins" part of the chapter. I totally get what they were saying when people were talking about this. I get it because I feel like I am secretly competitive with people. Not in a creepy way but just like I used to be competitive with my grades, I want to be better than so and so in a class. And it's not like I was going to rub it in that I had a better grade it was just for my own knowing. And to me thats not very healthy. I also totally understood when they say not to compare yourself to people. But in today's world it's so hard. I am a very confident person but it just sucks when you see someone with nicer hair, clothes and it just seems like they have their life together. I think instead of being jealous I should feel happy for them and I should be happy for myself more.

  9. I can relate to a lot of things in habit 4. Two that stand out the most was win-win and lose-win. For the most part i feel win-win because i do what i am asked and i do things i things for me. I make things for others of if i see someone that needs help i will help them. I feel win-lose quite a bit but not as much as win-win. When a coach or teacher completely throws me under a bus i don't have the guts to stand up really, just because they are older and i know that they think they're always right so it will only hurt me more. When a class mate or teen about my age tries, I do stand up.

  10. The things i feel in habit 4 is Win-Win and lose-win. I feel win-win because when my parents tell me to do something i do it and try not to argue with them. Win-lose is when they tell me to do something and i don't do it i argue with them and do not want to do the things they ask me to do if they tell me to take out the trash i will not i will argue with them so i think that is a win-lose type of deal.

  11. I can relate to many things in habit 4. "Think win-win is my most relatable subject. I tend to evaluate the consequences of my actions or decisions before making the choice.

    There were a few things that really stood out to me in the reading. One in specific would be treat people equally. Everyone was created equally, not in the way that one is better than another. Not to mention, some people are good at hiding feelings. You never know what a person could be going through. When they get picked on or treated in a bad way at like school for instance it just adds onto their plate of things they have to deal with. No one was created the same, but everyone was created equal.

  12. I think i can relate to the win-win sometimes. Because i always make sure if i do something it i did something right and if someone is helping me it also means they get something right too.

    There are a few things that I could also relate to in habit 4. I have had a few lose-win situations in my life. I was helping my mom neighbor yesterday move. She asked me to move a couple of things, but then she didn't do anything but sit around and not help at all.
