"You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience."

Robert E. Lee.

Reflection: My thoughts on this quote is that Robert E. Lee believes it is always the right time to make a correct decision. When you are accustomed to doing the right things, choosing the right won't even be a challenge to you after a while. You will continue to feel proud of yourself for sometimes helping others, or for making life easier for the rest. Doesn't matter, whole point is that if you have chosen the right once or twice or even more, then chances are you will continue doing so and you'll feel proud of yourself, deep down inside. Will power is all that is needed.

"You make your habits and your habits make you."

Reflection: After a while, your good/ bad habits are what defines you. You decide what's best for yourself and once you're used to it, it'll all feel so natural. It's up to you to know what's right, get used to the fact that the only help you can get is from yourself. Good habits will make life easier for you and everyone around. 

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 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, Author Sean Convey 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 is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principal and ethics that will help them reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it's all well 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 more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:
