Thursday, November 3 -- Weeks 10 and 11 TRADITIONAL CALENDAR

Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs! They are the 2016 World Series Champions!  Go Cubbies!  I ain't afraid of no goat!

 

Weeks 10 and 11 begin this week.  Because we are learning about Stephen Covey's habits, the assignments are spread out over 2 weeks/modules.  Weeks 10 and 11 will be due together on Monday, November 14.  

The first Covey Habit is "Be Proactive."  What does proactive mean?  The prefix "pro" means "before" and the word "active" means "to do something."  If you are proactive, you make things happen instead of waiting for things to happen to you.  Covey suggests three ways to work on being being proactive.

• Don’t suffer from the mistakes you made, be proactive and correct. Accept that you made a mistake and take action.
• Make promises, set goals, even if they are really small ones. It builds the feeling of integrity and awareness and feeling of self-control.
• Be a model, not a critic; be part of the solution.
