Seven Habits of Families - Stephen Covey

Intro: You're going to be 'off the map' 90% of the time

The miracle of the Chinese bamboo tree: After the seed of this amazing tree goes into the ground you see nothing for four years except a tiny shoot coming out of a bulb. During those four years all the growth is underground in a massive, fibrous root structure that spreads deep and wide in the earth. But then in the fifth year the Chinese bamboo tree grows up to eighty feet!

Many things in family life are like the Chinese bamboo tree.

Leo Tolstoy in Anna Karenina: 'happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.'

Habit 1: Be Proactive
