7 habits for highly (in)effective people

7 Habits
Habit 1: Be Proactive®
Take responsibility for your life.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind®
Define your mission and goals in life.

Habit 3: Put First Things First®
Prioritize and do the most important things first.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win®
Have an "everyone-can-win" attitude.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood®
Listen to people sincerely.

Habit 6: Synergize®
Work together to achieve more.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw®
Renew yourself regularly.


These are the famous 7 habits prescribed by Stephen Covey in his best selling book "The 7 habits of highly effective people".

After reading that i was thinking it was too much idealistic. What a shit.

But my doubt was cleared when i read the FAQ section. In that he clearly says: The book he has written is about 7 habits of highly effective people and not ineffective people.

Now i have started reading it again with an open mind..

Also this happens to be my 100th post in Poonaji Speaking.
