Have you heard of the book " 7 habits of highly effective people " by Stephen R.Covey?
mayb u hav heard of it, mayb u dont....aniwae, i will like 2 share a bit of it.
A month back, i attended a talk on this 7 habits of highly effective people. It was interesting, fun but filled wif messages that are important and useful. Ive gained a great deal of knowledge which may help us to plan out our lives, manage it and continue to strive.
Basically the 7 habits are :
1) Be proactive :- To initiate sumtink rather than waiting for other.
2) Begin with the end in mind :- To hav goals in life, short term n long term.
3) Put 1st things 1st :- To prioritise those important ones n do them 1st, others can wait.
4) Think win/win :- In negotiations or business, both parties hav to win.
5) Seek 1st to understand, then to b understood :- Simply listen 1st, den answer.
6) Synergise :- To work wif others n solve conflicts or problems.
7) Sharpen the saw :- Continuosly practising the above 6 habits to improve.
