LESSON #3 - PRINICPLES
So, after completing Lesson #2, I hope you understand what a "paradigm" is and that when it comes to defining who you are - paradigms are not a good "foundation" to build upon. For example: To define yourself through your perceptions, such as rich/poor, smart/dumb, popular/not popular is meaningless - these terms do NOT describe YOU - the REAL you. The most reliable way to see yourself and make good life choices is to base them on PRINCIPLES. Principles are universal laws that are guaranteed not to fail you.
1. Read pages 24-27 in your "7 Habits" textbook.
2. We will have a look at 52 different principles. By completing the worksheet found at the following link, you will gain a better understanding of the meaning of each principle. Match each definition with the correct principle on the worksheet. (You may need to log in to your Office 365 account to access this worksheet.)
52 Principles
Once you have completed the worksheet, check your answers with the "key" that I will leave in the Planning folder in the office. Please do not remove the key from the office.
3. ASSIGNMENT: (15 marks)
a). Choose 5 Principles from the list that you possess and/or you consider very important. Find a quote for each of the 5, that motivates/inspires you to live up to this principle.
b). Print off the "Principles I see in you" sheet (3x) and give it to 3 different people that know you well (a teacher, a family member, a friend or an employer - each person should be from a different category). Ask them to check off what they consider to be your strongest virtues (principles). It's always interesting to find out if others see you the way you see you. Write a brief summary of what you have learned about yourself from others.
