Dear Friends,
It was well know to each one of us that this 2nd habit which is “Begin With End” will be awesome .
Hope this 3rd session was much much more interesting then the earlier ones . None of us have ever thought that we will have to write so much in this session. But believe me friends I feel that this time we have learnt some thing which was very very important in our life.
I really feel that we would have missed some real fact of life.
Hope you all who have attended the session have some or the other thing to say about it. Lets share our views on this blog once again and make this more interesting.
Let us know if some one who is on the blog and not able to participate in the session so far so that we can make the necessary arrangements if they find this interesting.
I have always put lot of focus on writing note of each plan . I have always shared this with my friends and colleagues too. Writing plays an important role in individuals life.
ReplyDeleteIf I have missed this session I feel I would have missed some thing very important learning till date. Once again we have understood some thing different in this session .
Putting down on paper makes you remind of your work , duty and responsibility .
Each one us have some thought process in our day to day life , we have many plans , we have our aim , goal , objective , different thinking towards a particular point but very rare it happens that we make a note of it in writing and due to this we tend to miss our plans.
We all should have our mission statement written and should refer it on specific durations . That keeps us focused in life ( professional , personal as well as social ) .
We all think of getting praised by our close ones , but we never pay attention at the same time that we have to be in such a manner that we should be praised. Putting down the same on paper is some thing different we have done in this session .
Overall it was a good learning . I have seen almost everyone of us very interactive in this session which is good sign to know everyone’s interest .
Yesterday’s secession was very self analyzing in what is our aim, what do we visualizes about us in coming years and at the same time what we have to do that in order to reach there.
ReplyDeletePreviously I used to write down the tasks which I want to complete and in what time frame along with what is my desired goal. But this was during my school and college days where I use to follow this strategy for completing projects or during my exams and never thought that I can plan my future in similar manner too. I always use to observe, analyze & evaluate that where I m standing in completing my projects or revising my syllabus and use to act accordingly and I did got my desired results also.
I feel we can definitely achieve what we want, provided we constantly focus on the ways and means for reaching it.
After writing down all three sheets I realized the purpose of each sheet given to us and how each sheet was co-relating to each other. Second and Third sheet simplified our Personal Mission Statement in of how to reach or achieve our goals. Session was not simply about aiming what we want to be, but how to achieve it and make corrective actions incase we are not reaching it which is only possible if, we on a regular basis study and self analyze our Mission Statement
I really enjoyed yesterday’s session which was focusing on our Personal, Professional and Social Life goals at a time and also because of active participation of all.
Writing down our goals on the paper gives us the power to achieve it anyhow. We will put lot of efforts to achieve it. We will be more focused towards our mission statement. This helps us to control our self & not to go out of track, always be in track, be in your environment.
ReplyDeleteWe expect many things from our dear ones, but we forget that even they have some expectations from us. If I’m expecting something from them then I need to fulfill their expectations too. From 3rd session I came to know about the fact that I need to shape myself to fit into the perfect human being frame. People say that no one is perfect but we can at least try to be perfect.
When I was filling the self awareness sheet, I was becoming more confident, because in my past experience many times I’ve achieved the things which was beyond my expectation. Again I was very bad in some cases, I wrote each point in that sheet. Now it shows me that when I’m good & when I’m bad. What steps I have to take to correct myself, to wash out my negative points, to be good all the time.
I can still hear Rakesh sir’s voice which says lead your life; take the command of your life. “DON’T GO WHERE LIFE LEADS YOU, TAKE YOUR LIFE WHERE YOU WANT TO GO”.
One more very important lesson I learnt is that if the person is mentally strong enough he can tackle any problem in his life.
Thank you so much for making the session meaningful………………..
Reminding Rakesh sir's word on this blog by Vidya has given me an extra boost . These words have actually skipped from my mind but am lucky to have intelligent colleagues who remembers the key points and help others to motivate them self .
ReplyDeleteIF we remember everyday that we don't have to go where life takes us and we have to make our own life style and lead our own life we will never shake from the path of ethics.
We will always be effective in many area of life and success will be behind us.
Now onwards i feel each one us should remember to take command of life.
So goes the famous saying , if you think you can , you can ............ Be it what ever. irrespective of how big or small the task is , I think its very important to be clear. And thus apply the 2nd principle " BEGIN WITH AN END IN MIND" , for its the man who thinks is the man who wins......
ReplyDeleteTo be positive in life its very important to take command of ourself . Although its difficult but if put into practise it becomes our habit....
So these are some of the thoughts that have come up in my mind after attending the session....
Hi All,
ReplyDeleteIt was more like a wake up session. During this session i realized "Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." This was the second time i wrote my mission statement. I once failed to achieve my mission because of lack of focus. But again i wrote my mission statement with an expectation to achieve.Our Mission changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.
Keeping your close one's happy itself is a great achievement of life. Getting to know you are the reason behind someone's success or happiness is a very good feeling, they are the people who keeps blessing you for your success. Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something. They're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take. We expect our parents to do a lot for us, but many few do a lot to keep expectation their parents place on them
"If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress."
Again one more amazing session of 7 habits of highly effective people this session has opened my eyes towards my goal of my life i always had thoughts in my mind that i have to do many things in my life but how to do it when to achieve it was nothing clear just have to do it but this session has clicked my mind that time has started now i have to implement my thoughts in life as soon as possible once the time will go it will never come back.
ReplyDeleteThis session was started with the game through which we came to know about the fact that there will be many difficulty in our life but we have to find the ways to solve the difficulties & how to achieve our goal after that there was another exercise to do in which we have written our mission statement of life while writing this mission statement i have recognized that have to do many things in my life but was not working as per my goals after writing this have realized have to work lot & implement the things very fast, after this exercise there was two more exercise first was role & relationship & tribute statement, & second was self awareness this also made us learn that we have to balance our personal life as well as professional life.
In short have learn many things but don’t have words to express more about this session, I am sure after completing of 7 habits of highly effective people book we all will come with blushing personality.
I agree with karan that we have learned many things in 3rd session but don’t have words to express, we always try to implement in every situation.
ReplyDeleteIn this session I have drawn a graph of my life, I think it is begin today with the image, picture of the end of our life. Not only to reach but also how to reach to my goal. I have understand one thing that getting only success in the profession is not enough we should be successful in maintaining good personal relations in life
And the way Rakesh sir was explaining us it was awesome, that small game, mission statement and self awareness every exercise teaches us lot of things. It reaffirms who we are, puts our goals in focus, and moves our ideas into the real world. Our mission statement makes us the leader of our own life.
When ever I will get depressed that time I go through these points definitely it will motivates me and will keep on reminding me that I m in a journey of my life, I have to reach to my destiny. I have made plans for my professional, personal and social life.
I think when we begin with end then we can create our own destiny.
One of the best ways to incorporate Habit 2 into your life is to develop a Personal Mission Statement. It focuses on what you want to be and do. It is your plan for success. It reaffirms who you are, puts your goals in focus, and moves your ideas into the real world. Your mission statement makes you the leader of your own life. You create your own destiny and secure the future you envision.
ReplyDeleteIn 3rd Session we came to know our 2 Habit based on “Begin with end in mind” which means imagination--the ability to imagine in your mind what you cannot at present see with your eyes. It is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There is a mental (first) and a physical (second) creation. All things are created twice. We create them first in our minds, and then we work to bring them into physical existence. By taking control of our own first creation, we can write our own scripts, thus taking some control and responsibility for the outcome. We write our scripts using our imagination and conscience.
We came across new word “Personal Mission Statement”. In developing your personal mission statement, you can use your creative ability to imagine life milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, retirement and funerals. What accomplishments would you like to celebrate? Visualize them in rich detail. Also a personal mission statement must be based oncorrect guiding principles because it becomes a benchmark for an individual when he makes life changing decisions. The personal mission statement will empower the individual with strength and will be the source of courage when changes arise.
This is the first time i have written so many things about myself.This session has helped me plan for my life not all things, but ya several things which i had never thought of.It has an over all idea of planning things for long term as well as short term period. I reffered to it as session in which it was thought how to become proactive in order to get certain reaction in future.
ReplyDeleteBegin with the end helps in escaping the hurdles, that are there and also to make prepared plan about how to complete the given task.It is related to the 1st habit that is proactive.
More of i liked the mazed game in which AMY had to be directed to the cycle.
Hi All,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to share this small story i came across while reading this book "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: A Fable About Fulfilling Your Dreams & Reaching Your Destiny".
” One night a father was relaxing with his newspaper after a long day at office. His son, who wanted to play, kept on pestering him. Finally, fed up, the father ripped out a picture of the globe that was in the paper and tore it into a hundred tiny pieces. ‘Here so, go ahead and try to put this back together.’ he said, hoping that this would keep the little boy busy long enough for him to finish his paper. To his amazement, His son returned after only one min with the globe perfectly back together. When the startled father asked how he achieved this feat, the son smiled gently and replied.” Dad, on the other side of the globe there was a picture of a person, once I got the person together, the world was Okay...”
Outcome, “When you make your self Okay…the world will become automatically Okay.”
The session made me think in a more positive way towards my goal in life. Mere writing down on paper has helped me to know what really I want in my life. Writing it down is just 1 % of the job done whereas creating a vision and a mission to execute to what you want out of life will fetch you the remaining 99% and thereby set your work.
ReplyDeleteThis is only possible when your goal and your plan to achieve it are realistic and worthy for your life ahead, and then you will notice how differently you perceive and react to things.
A positive frame of mind will make you feel good about yourself. Also, it leaves you with a clear mind, which allows you to make decisions and rational career choices and fit them in your scheme of things, keeping the bigger picture in mind.
Ask yourself the following question: “What do I really want to get out of life?” The answer to this will take u where u want to end up.
