This chapter was almost a summary of all the rest because I felt like this habit combined all the others. Sharpening the saw is about improving yourself in four dimensions. Covey says these dimensions are highly interrelated, so improvement in one area leads to improvement in the others and I agree. For example, I will have weeks when I am proactive about working out (physical) and these are the weeks when I am best able to stay on top of my homework (mental). Because I am able to stay on top of my homework I have more time to spend with my friends (social/emotional).
The section about scripting others is applicable anytime in life, but I found it to be especially relevant to the Army. Eventually we will be leaders in the Army and in positions to influence our troops. If we are positive social mirrors others around will notice and hopefully develop their full potential.
