Monday, May 24th, 2010

Sean,

Thanks SOOO much for writing that book! It’s helped strengthen my values and my desicions. I never thought an adult would be able to help cuz most of them dont really understand teen life in this time (century)… but my dad told me that i had to read your book and then he would get me one that i wanted … i didnt want to at first,i was just goign to pretend to read it but now i cant stop readn it! It’s helped me survive school much better! So again, thanks SSOOOO so much for wrtiting it! It’s been the most inspiring book in my life even in the hardest times during school!

Invisible

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I never wanted to be popular but i hit junior high and just started trying to fit in like crazy, i didnt care who i fit in with, as long as i felt included … Now I see that i was a horrible person to all my real friends and in all truth, im completly lonely. Now I dont fit in anywhere and im just a “Wallpaper student”. sometimes people make fun of me, but im mostly invisible. It lowers your self-esteem alot, but its not half as bad as being part of a clique. I lost all confidence in myself there. Now, I don’t talk to anybody and im classified as “scary” but in all honesty im just lonely and i dont know what to ever say, so i just have no voice. I get all my work done and im really smart, but nobody really cares at all. I lived in just this one town all my life and people keep asking if im a new student. Life seems worthless and pointless, but I keep going, hoping that tomorrow will be better. Even if I’m let down, I keep hoping for the next day. That’s all you can do, is hope for a bigger and better day.

The 7 Habits

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Dear Sean Covey,

I have been making changes in my life…..but still, I have no goal back then. I use to be short-tempered, foolish, old, &*%$ fellow, but when I read about The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, I was inspired. I became in my control of myself; i realized that my feelings control me, instead of myself. The book that the library gave me, inspired me to dream and live life to the fullest, and also, the first thing, I wanna do, after I finish the book, is to go to it’s respected website, and to thank it’s owner, Sean Covey.

Merry Christmas, and I hope you’ll write more books someday.

Parent Pressure

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I’m a junior and I still haven’t decided what to do after high-school. I know I’m going to college, but I don’t know what degree I should take. I come from a long line of doctors and the pressure to become the same is huge, especially from my dad, he says that if I didn’t beome a doctor, I’d disappoint him real bad and it would be the hugest mistake of my life. I know I should listen to my parents and their advice, but I hate medicine and really don’t want to be like my parents or grandparents. It may seem cool to be a doctor, but I simply don’t like it. The pressure from my parents amd some of my friends is too much for me and is confusing me. Everytime I suggest another career to my parents they give me a huge lecture about what a mistake it would be not to be a doctor. Help, I really don’t want to diappoint my parents but I don’t want to be a doctor either.

The greatest problem one can encounter; choosing…

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I am second year college taking HRM (Hotel and restaurant management major in tourism). I am a scholar and a deans lister now. My course is only 3 years and one term, after that I will be graduating. So I need one year and 1 term for me to graduate in my course.

It all seems good. But I have one problem, It is not about social or financial problem. It is about knowing what I really want. I am only 17 and I am confused on what do I really want as my course. When I first went to college I really want interior design however people said that I will have no work afterwards and I really don’t have any backgrounds on drafting and designing. So I decided to continue my course which is HRM. But I don’t know why until now I am thinking of shifting to interior design. I am worried if my course (HRM) will be useless in the future because my mother told me that I will take interior design after I graduate.She said that it is just a matter of what will I get first.
I have no set of plans yet. I cannot make a time plan on what will I do after 5 years or what. Because now I am confused if what course will I pursue. I am afraid that through not having a definite decision now, i would waste time. All of teenagers seems so confident on their plans in the future and they really know what they want to pursue. I am afraid that I may left behind :(

6 decisions in french ?

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Hi Sean,

I’m from Belgium - Europe. In a second hand bookshop, i found your book 7 habits for Teens. I had bought your father’s book last year but I found it quite difficult to read. Your version of 7 habits is really well explained, and with example.

I did recommended your book to a couple of friends having teens.

Your book seems not to be available anymore in french. Do you know if a new version is coming or did it totaly stpped in french ?

I am also looking for the practice book in french, as wel as the 6 decisions in french. They don’t seem to exist in this langage. Is it being translate or not ?

Thanks already for your answer !

Kind regards

Nathalie

~Not My Problem Alex~

It seems as if he texted me,

just to break my heart.

It seems as if he asked me out

just to tear me apart.

It seems as if this Alex guy

just wanted to see me squirm.

It seems as if he took my pillow

and filled it with some worms.

It seems as if relationships

just aren’t meant to be…

But maybe just MAYBE…

Its him, and not me.

ALEX — YOU WERE A WASTE OF TIME, AND NOW I AM HAPPY WE NEVER WENT OUT BECAUSE I REALIZE LIFE SINGLE IS BETTER:) AND YOU DEFF. AREN’T RIGHT FOR ME:) SRY!!
