The habits include being proactive, beginning with the end in mind, prioritizing, thinking win-win, and seeking first to understand, which means listening before speaking.
The book has bluntly brought to my attention many flaws in my personality and lifestyle. For example, I procrastinate a little too much and am not a very good listener. However, I think my worst flaw is that I almost never think win-win, or, in other words, think there is a solution in which both the opposition and I can succeed our goals. I tend to value my own opinion more than others, which makes this habit difficult for me. Fortunately, I am trying to change my ways and have set a goal to be more open-minded to others' wants and opinions so that we can both obtain our wants.
