Refection Paper: The Seven Habits for Highly Effective
People
After reading the book entitled The Seven Habits for Highly
Effective People by Stephen Covey, I asked myself Do I have these
habits, right now I have at least 1 habit discussed on this book
and that is BE PROACTIVE it is because I do lot of mistakes on the
past like bad decisions and I learned from it. With all of these
mistakes I have done because I have freedom to choose my actions
and from it I recognize my responsibility and it is to make the
right things. The other habits mention on this book: Begin with the
end in mind, Put first things first, Seek to understand, then be
understood, Think win/win, Synergy, and Sharpen the saw, right now
I dont have these habits but I am willing to learn these habits for
me to achieved my goals.Five years from now, I want to see myself
being a good mechanical engineer in a well-known engineering firm,
having my own family, my own house, my own car and this will made
possible if I have the habit # 7 sharpen the saw. If I have this
habit Ill be in different level on four aspect of nature which is
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Reflection paper: Office Space
After watching this movie, I just overlooked my future self
working on this toxic environment. I think of myself as Peter
Gibbons and what response/actions Ill have if my boss (Bill
Lumbergh) pressuring me on my work. Should I resign or fight for my
rights. When those things happen and they will be hiring consultant
for the interview, my response would be fight for my rights; Ill
tell them that their something wrong with the management and as
from the movie it works.This movie also reflects to my student
life. From some instance like having a group project some member of
the group didnt feel like working because the appointed leader
asking too much, too demanding and they feel pressured. So the
action done was talking to him, take things a little bit lightly
and divide the works to everyone.
1. What kind of employee is Peter Gibbons? On my opinion Peter
Gibbons is good employee but due to some factors he hates his job2.
What are the factors that affect Peter's attitude and behaviour
towards work? Lack of motivation and his frustration of having to
answer to seven levels of management3. What kind of manager is Bill
Lumbergh. A manager that everybody would hate because of his
attitude toward his subordinates4. How does he influence the
performance of his subordinates? - Bill Lumbergh influence the
performance of his subordinate by arrogantly asking them what
should do.5. What do you recommend in order to attain a better
management in the office, as seen on the movie?- I recommend to
have a manager who can motivate his subordinate.- Lessen the
manager on that office.
