仔細想想，美國學校家長提倡的這7種習慣，就是美國孩子從小形成的人生觀， 也是他們待人接物，行為處事的準則。理解這些觀念，對高中大學申請文書撰寫，以及如何與美國同學，同事相處都很有幫助。而且，嚐試運用這些方法，也能讓自己在美國的社會環境裏更有效，更成功。

 

 

美國學校根據《The 7 Habits of Happy Kids》和《The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens》這兩本書的內容，給學生們畫了一個叫 7個習慣樹/ The 7 Habits Tree －的海報，作為孩子們品格教育的參照綱領。從小養成這些好習慣的孩子，未來的路多數會走得比較順暢和快樂。

 

這幅海報用一棵大樹來比喻孩子一生中要培養的好習慣。從樹根開始從下往上，這7個習慣像一棵樹一樣逐漸長成，分別是：

1. Be proactive

2. Begin with the end in mind

3. Put first things first

4. Think win-win

5. Seek first to understand,then to be understood

6. Synergize

7. Sharpen the saw

 

第1個習慣：Be proactive －you're in charge，

積極主動，我的人生我負責

 

I am a responsible person. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes and moods. I do not blame others for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking.

 

我對自己負責，做事積極主動。我管理自己的行為、態度和情緒。我做了錯事不怪別人。不用別人說我也會去做正確的事情，哪怕沒有人在看。

 

第2個習慣：Begin with the end in mind - Have a plan

有目標，有計劃

 

I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my classroom and contribute to my school's mission and vision. I look ways to be agood citizen.

 

做事前我會定計劃和目標。我做有意義和帶來積極影響的事。我是班級裏的重要一員，為學校事務做貢獻。我希望成為一個好公民。

 

第3個習慣：Put first things first - Work first, then play

做事分主次，先工作，後娛樂

 

I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do.I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized.

 

我在重要的事情上花時間。不該做的事，我勇於說不。我製定優先級，做日程表，執行我的計劃。我對自己有紀律，做事井井有條。

 

第4個習慣，Think win-win - Everyone can win

從共贏角度考慮問題，利己利人

 

I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want. I make deposits in others' Emotional Bank Accounts. When conflicts arise, I look for third alternatives.

 

我勇於爭取自己想要的，但是我同時也會考慮別人的需求。我在別人的情感銀行帳號裏放下我的存款。有矛盾的時候，我尋求能平衡彼此需求的解決方案。

 

第5個習慣，Seek first to understand, then to be understood

先去理解別人，再求被人理解

 

I listen to other people's ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints. I listen to others without interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas. I look peoplein the eyes when talking。

 

我仔細聆聽別人的主意和情感。我努力從他人角度去理解問題。聽別人說話的時候我不插嘴、不打擾。我很有信心說出我自己的主意。別人說話的時候，我直視他的眼睛。

 

第6個習慣，Synergize －Together is better

協同－合作會更好

 

I value other people's strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people's ideas to solve problems because I know that by teaming with others we can create better solutions than anyone of us can alone. I am humble.

 

我珍重別人的優點，向他們學習。我和大家很好相處，即使他們和我很不一樣。我能有效地進行團隊合作，因為我知道合作比單打獨鬥能帶來更好的解決方案。我保持謙虛的精神。

 

第7個習慣，Sharpen the saw－Balance feels best

磨刀不誤砍柴工，尋求健康和平衡

 

I take care of my body by eating right, exercising and getting sleep. I spend time with family and friends. I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school. I find meaningful ways to help others.

 

我充分照顧好自己，健康飲食，鍛煉，保證足夠睡眠。我跟家人朋友享受在一起的時光。我涉略廣泛，旅行，不止限於學校的功課。我做有意義的事情幫助別人。
