Project Learning: 7 Habits of Outstanding Teenagers (1)

Compliment someone for an idea they've expressed today by saying, "Hey, that was a cool idea." Treat others as you would like to be treated. Don't be impatient, don't complain about being left out, and don't speak ill of others unless you want them to do the same to you. Before you can begin to succeed in public life, you must first win the personal war within yourself. If your personal bank account is in bad shape, don't be discouraged. Start saving $1, $5, $10, or $25 today, and you'll win back your confidence. Making small deposits over time is the right path to a healthy and prosperous personal bank account. Reactive people react to their impulses. They're like a can of soda, and if life shakes them up a bit, it creates stress and they explode. I'll do it in a positive way. I can do better. Let's see what else we can do. I choose there will always be a way. I'm not gonna let your bad mood get to me. No one tells you not to do anything, only you don't let yourself do anything because you always think so. I am the master of my own destiny. It's been my personal ups and downs, and I can choose to see this as a new starting point." First movers to make a change hit the pause button for those who are just starting out, just hit the pause button. (If I remember correctly, the pause button should be in the center of your forehead.)
