Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” –Stephen Covey
1) Reflect upon what you read in Chapter 11 of Thriving in College. What does this quote mean to you or how can you apply it to your life?
You have to understand what people are going through before you can try and help them go through it. If you do not understand and you try and help them you will most likely confuse them more than they already are.
2) (Refer to page 380 of the text):
Are you a “Crisis Tickler,” “Withholder,” “Irritator,” “Blamer,” or “Gunnysacker?” Explain.
I think i am a crisis tickler, because i tend to hint at things rather than get right to the point. I don't like to confront someone about something, so thats why i try and hint at things.
