October 9, 2008 · Filed Under Rants 

I revisited the Power of 7 Habits thoughts by Stephen Covey for a refreshment. Stephen Covey has a high believe that highly effective people practices the following 7 habits in their daily lives:

  1. Proactive
  2. Begin with End in Mind
  3. First Thing First
  4. Think Win Win
  5. Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood
  6. Synergies
  7. Sharpen the Saw

Do we apply the above habits in our lives? Let’s think and share on how do we practice the above 7 highly effective habits.
