Paradigms and Principles
What is a Paradigm?
Paradigm: the way you see something,
your point of view, your perception
Try This
• Close one eye. Put your thumb close
enough to your open eye so that the door
is completely covered.
• Now, switch eyes without moving your
thumb. What happened?
Paradigm Shift
• A shift in the way you see things.
What’s the Point?
• We don’t always see things the way
others do.
Table Talk
• Is your perception (view) of life the same
as your parents’ perception?
– How is it the same?
– How is it different?
• Whose perception is correct?
So…who is right?
• Your perception is your reality. Right or
wrong, you see things the way you want
to.
• The challenge is to see things from the
perspective of others.
Reading
• Read the “Top 10 All-Time Stupid
Quotes” on pages 11-12 in the book
entitled The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
Teens by Sean Covey. The challenge is to
see things from the perspective of others.
•Why did these quotes seem intelligent at
the time they were said?

in the book entitled The 7 Habits of Highly
Effective Teens by Sean Covey.
