The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 6:  Synergize

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts(1+1=3)" means that working together is more important than working alone. Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the adventure of finding new solutions to old problems. But it doesn't just happen on its own. It's a process, and through that process, people bring all their personal experience and expertise to the table. It's just as the quote "Two heads are better than one." For instance, working with other people gives you the option of asking others for help when needed. It also gives you the opportunity to build on maybe one of your peers ideas. They probably have some ideas you would have never thought about. This habit is really beneficial in class because most teachers already expect you to productively work with your classmates. This habit not only applies to school but at most work fields too. During your job you want to work with your coworkers to get the job done faster.
