The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective
Teens
Based on book
by Steven Covey
What is a habit?
A habit is something
you do without thinking
about it.
“We first make our habits,
then our habits
make us.”- English Poet
• Habits are things you do repeatedly.
• Most of the time you are hardly aware you do
them.
• They are on autopilot.
• Depending on what they are,
your habits will either make you or break you.
• Luckily, you are stronger than your habits.
• You will become what you repeatedly do.
