The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People


Recently I attended this course on "The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People" and I learnt alot from it. This is based on the self-help book written by Stephen R. Covey, and for those of you who wished to know more about it, here's a link I found online - http://www.whitedovebooks.co.uk/7-habits/7-habits.htm

Basically I just want to share with everyone on something useful which we can apply in our personal life, not just for work-related matters. Good things must share mah~ but if you're not interested then it's ok lor... Anyway, the 7 Habits in sequential order are as follows:
  1. Be Proactive
    (you are free to choose your response to whatever happens to you)

  2. Begin With An End In Mind
    (know what are your objectives)

  3. Put First Things First
    (evaluate where you spend most of your time - The Time Matrix)

  4. Think Win-Win
    (improve or maintain good relationship with others)

  5. Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood
    (using empathic listening when listening to other people)

  6. Synergy
    (1+1 = more than 2)

  7. Sharpen The Saw
    (take time to rejuvenate and relax your body, heart, mind and spirit)
