"So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the "in group", we lose sight of things that are far more important."
Sean Covey
I agree with this statement because a lot of people try to do everything possible to be cool. Some people even choose the wrong and do drugs, drink under the influence and such. By doing this they forget of all the consequences they can have because all that is in their minds is that they want to be cool. They forget all the great benefits they can achieve by doing what is right. They choose what's easier to do and majority choose to do wrong. CTR will take you far. CTW will take you down.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
By Sean Covey
For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the
parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, the
7Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a
compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems 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 principles and
ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.
While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens
watch what you do more than they listen to what you say, “Covey 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 than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here
are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply
them:
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
