Monsters by Anna QuindlenTHE monster under the bed finally arr.docxjacmariek5
"Monsters" by Anna Quindlen
THE monster under the bed finally arrived at our house the other night. I've been waiting for him to show up for four years.
Peter Rabbit
had been read, discussed, analyzed and placed nearby for easy access. The little brother was coiled under his blankets, waiting to leap out and seize forbidden tow trucks and alphabet blocks as soon as the sound of the parents' footsteps had faded to a faint thump. The bathtub faucet was drip drip dripping in the next room. The drinks of water had been parceled out, demanded again, refused. The overhead light was off. The night light gleamed.
"Mom?"
"Yes."
"I have something very important to tell you."
"What?"
"There is a monster under my bed."
Do you have any idea how close I came to replying, "Well, it's about time"?
It seems that the monster showed up under my bed just the day before yesterday. I always thought he was a hairy beast with a lot of teeth, a cross between Godzilla and a Gahan Wilson drawing. He never got me, but that was because I was quick and brave and careful. After I finished reading in bed, I would go across to the switch next to the door and turn out the light. Then I would hoist my nightgown up to my knobby knees, take a deep breath, run three steps and leap up onto the mattress. Don't break stride, don't look down—those were my rules of survival. I knew that if I had eyes in my chin I'd see a long nasty arm whipping out to grab me by the ankle and pull me under. Beneath the bedspread I was safe. One more night alive.
What did I tell my son about his monster? Something lame, I think, like, "Would Daddy and I let monsters in this house?" Followed by a rambling discussion of things that are there and things you only think are there and their relative dangers and merits. (The last time we had this discussion it was because he didn't want to sleep in the top bunk. "The things on the ceiling go in my ears," he said. "Honey, those are shadows," I replied. Long explanation about shadows, how shadows form, the benign nature of shadows. The next night he still did not want to sleep in the top bunk. "The shadows on the ceiling go in my ears." Fast learner.)
I knew what I was supposed to say and do. I was supposed to say there aren't any monsters under the bed and then get down on my hands and knees and peer underneath and get him to join me for confirmation and solace. That doesn't do a bit of good, because monsters come back as soon as the lights are doused, as any child knows. And anyway, I couldn't bring myself to flatly deny the monster. I have a lot of trouble with those rare times when, for good reason, I lie to my children. I've been tormented, for instance, by Santa Claus. In every other case, I speak the truth: do all people die? Will the needle hurt? Do you love Christopher? Yes. Yes. Yes. Then one day, in the service of centuries of tradition, I unequivocally confirm that a fat man is coming down the chimney to leave toys, eat the cookies, drink the milk.

Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
