I reduced each principle to a single word so they're easy to remember. The application instruction are in the book.
All of the 7 Habits can be derived from the 7 principles. For example, "be proactive" derives from the principle of power, and "think win-win" arises naturally from the principle of oneness.
Once you understand how each principle works, you can recall it with a single word.
