7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 2

Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school-that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity-- that you earned it with perfect honesty.

"My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure." Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure.”

-Alfred, Lord Tennyson

This statement means that anyone can have all the strength they want as long as they know they have a clear conscience of life. For example, if someone donates 10 million dollars to a hospital from his savings, then it shows his strength in helping others. He did it because he cared and it shows that he has a pure heart because he did not have bad intentions; and the money that he donated was from all the money he gained while working.
