Category: 7 Habits Class

I am glad to be a part of Fountainhead School wherein nine days in a year are religiously dedicated to personal development which can help us grow not just in our workplace but in general in our everyday lives to solve the paradigms that we have in our lives.

The principles are easy to understand but like all best and simple models, it is difficult to apply and practice. The desire of a paradigm shift triggers introspection in varying degrees and entails serious changes in the thinking process and acting patterns.

I am eagerly waiting to explore and discover how we will analyse the seven habits and apply them in various ways in our lives!

 

Someone rightly said that ‘Never judge a book by its cover’ and it’s perfectly applicable for the life class sessions I attended. To be honest, before the start of the sessions, I was skeptical about it and had thought that it would be a mundane and futile session but I was wrong. It turned out to be a very fruitful exercise and the learnings and sharing from the classes gave me a new insight about life and helped broaden my horizon. It made me understand about the paradigms which we carry with us all through the life and its impact on our lives. We also discussed our problems which could be professional, financial or personal and its possible reasons and solutions. We then categorized them and discussed them individually. We also understood the difference between character and professional ethics and figured out how character ethic is more important to achieve success in life than professional ethic. After that, we learned about Maturity Continuum and how it varies from Interdependence(We) to Dependence(You). At last, we discussed P(Production) and PC(Production Capability) Effect and Balance in life. Overall it was an enlightening experience and session which was conducted well by our Life Class Mentors and I am looking forward to our next life class session.

My whole journey of life class was nice. i got to know all the 7 habits during this.If we think our lives are a function of our conditions, it is because we have, by conscious decision or by default, chosen to empower those things to have control over us we have let ourselves become reactive. Reactive people are often affected by the weather, proactive people carry their own weather with them. that i carry with me.We want to centre our lives on correct principles. Unlike other centres based on people and things subject to frequent change, correct principles don’t change. We can depend on them.We think we don’t have time to exercise. What distorted thinking! We don’t have time not to. We’re talking about three to six hours a week. That’s a drop in the bucket compared with the enormous, beneficial impact on the other 162-plus hours in the week. Be proactive. The main thing i learnt here sharpen the saw take care of your own self. Everything should be with right priority and time-management by taking care of yourself mentally and physically.

Unbelievable change through Life class

 

This year in life class  I have learned so many thing.First of all I have never heard about 7 habits, what is the use of it,How to apply it on your life.

I am really thankful to Fountainhead school who is organized such types of workshop and of course to my both facilitators Nisha Jain and Bhumika Manglani as they make me understand what is life, and what is important in my life:

Glimpse of Life class

• What is the method to lead our life
• We should understand and respect others perspectives
• Know our responsibilities and prioritize it.
• Art of listening
• Clarifying expectation
• Spend time with me and with beloved
• Two heads are better than one
• Win-Win, Win-Lose,Lose-Win
• Private victory and public victory
• Adding into emotional bank
• My favourite session was write  thanking letter to whom you love

At last Life class has taught me the value of life and myself.

 

we know everything but we never try to apply, but while attending the life class I realize many things which are very important in life to follow and understand.

 

we must spend our time on things that are important and not just the ones that are urgent. To do this, and to minimize the stress of having too many tight deadlines, we need to understand this distinction:

-Important activities have an outcome that leads to us achieving our goals, whether these are professional or personal.

-Urgent activities demand immediate attention, and are usually associated with achieving someone else’s goals. They are often the ones we concentrate on and they demand attention because the consequences of not dealing with them are immediate.

Your life doesn’t just “happen.” Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. You choose sadness. You choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear.

There is much to be learned and it is all what life classes has brought in me and the aspects of my life. Personally, I can apply many of the material it describes into my life.

Oh know what LIFE CLASSES !! Was the word i uttered when i read the mail. But all throughout the journey of life classes (7 habits), I cherish and have learned all what needs to be important while trodding the untrodden path.

Learning these habits and putting them into action is sometimes still a challenge for me. Imbibing the 7 habits within us will surely coin us to be a Person of substance. However, there is always a hope. I am still learning and will continue to be life-long learner.

At last I want to thank  both the facilitators Chesta ma’am and Juhi ma’am for motivating us and guiding us to make a choice of how we wish to explore our life keeping in mind these habits.

Hello friends,

As my GURU has said, “Vidya daan jivan daan hai”. So, sharing of knowledge is considered as charity, which becomes ‘Food for life’. The rationale behind this is; that enhancement of knowledge, brings the receiver in a better position to earn his living. This thought itself leads me to thank Bhumika and Nisha for taking us through this wonderful journey of 7 Habits.

 

I am an avid reader, but not a fast one. And so, after the birth of my child; I have had very little time for reading. So, it would have been next to impossible for me to read this book completely and decipher the knowledge in the span of a year. Thus, this workshop has definitely helped me achieve this.

 

Although I was aware of all the 7 habits, and practicing it in some way or the other; the workshop led to self-introspection at each stage. And sharing of examples and real life situations by my colleagues was also very enriching and gave me a deeper insight into the 7-Habits philosophy.

 

The habit I enjoyed learning most, was the last one – ‘Sharpen the Saw’; because it was done with a practical approach and had less of theory. Overall a wonderful experience, and I also thank the organization for giving us such amazing opportunities for Personal and Professional Development.

 

Warm regards,
Sejal Lal

Great experience !!!!!!!!!!! It was the time to learn, unlearn and relearn. The habits were known to me as I have read the book but the sessions have added an insight to it. The sessions were a blend of discussion and activity which helped to understand the habits well. The real beauty of the 7 Habits is that improvement in one habit synergistically increases our ability to improve the rest.

Happy being part of the life class.

Thank you FS for the opportunity!!!!!!!

Whenever I hear someone saying “Life class” my facial expression suddenly changes to smear happiness and I feel in a tiny corner of my heart “Yayy!!”. Sometimes I think why such happiness for something with whom you have being attached since a moment of time, how it is bothering so much to me whenever I hear something about it. I ask this question to myself that what that much “Life class” taught me which other classes or teachers could not. Let me start from the start.

I was a very impatient, easily influenced by others kinda girl. I was always under a circle of safety around me as I know that someone some day is going to hurt me, don’t know why!!

But all this “I was!!!” “I was!!”. Now after coming in contact of something so diligent I can’t but forced myself to change.

Life class showed me the value of myself. Where I stand in my life, how much important someone is out there to me and how much importance I consume in their’s life. I learnt about paradigm shifting, I learnt to become proactive. Before attending the sessions I was unable to manage my personal and professional life but after attending I actually came to know about the problems and solutions for the same.

I would like to thank the facilitators Nisha ma’am and Bhumika ma’am as they kept the sessions lively and all the participants engrossed. We all have a special bond between us now and we always feel connected. Our batch always felt it was the best time as we loved meeting each other. We all had good sense of humor and respect for each other which made the 7 habits session (Life class) successful.

With lots of love,

I still remember my first day at life class, for me it was all about getting to know different people. It has changed my lookout towards life completely, how just a change in few habits can affect your moods and outlook towards life. The initial thoughts of, “Why life class? Why it has to be for the whole day? What difference is it going to make?” are all being answered. Special thanks to Nisha and Bhumika Ma’am for being such motivating facilitators and providing such homely atmosphere for sharing and learning.

The moments where we wrote sorry and thank you letters to our loved ones, the death exercise had such a positive effect on my relations and life goals.

Overall, It was a wonderful time.
