Habit 1:
Be Proactive - Principles of Personal Vision
积极主动——个人愿景的原则
We are, by nature, proactive, if our lives are a function of conditioning and conditions, it is because we have, by conscious decision or by default, chosen to empower those things to control us.
人性本质是主动而非被动的，不仅能消极选择反应，更能主动创造有利环境。采取主动并不表示要强求、惹人厌或具侵略性，只是不逃避为自己开创前途的责任。
Work, it isn't a function of whether the weather is conducive to it or not. Reactive people are also affected by their social environment, by the 'social weather.' When people treat them well, they feel well; when people don't, they become defensive or protective. Reactive people build their emotional lives around the behavior of others, empowering the weaknesses of other people to control them.
受制于人，同样也受制于社会“天气”的阴晴圆缺。如果受到理遇，就愉快积极，反之则退缩逃避。理智重与感情的人，则通过谨慎思考，他们的反应完全行我在自己的手中。

Habit 2:
Begin with the End in Mind
习惯二：以终为始——自我领导的原则
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
身外之物和内在力量相比，便显得微不足道。
To Begin with the End in Mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you're going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.

We may practice selective listening, hearing only certain parts of the constant chatter of a preschool child. Or we may even practice attentive listening, paying attention and focusing energy on the words that are being said.
参差最低的是”听而不闻“，如同耳边风，其次是“虚实结合的故事”“嗯...是的....对对对....”略有反应，其实是心不在焉 ，第三是“选择的听”，只听自己口味的，第四是“专注的听”，每句话都进入大脑，但是否听出了真意，值得怀疑。
But very few of us ever practice the fifth level, the highest form of listening, empathic listening.
