It's quite insightful. The 7 habits touch the very essence of leading a life of happiness and fulfillment. It's worth reading over and over again at different stages of our life.
The author suggests, to name a few: Focus on cultivating character ethics instead of narrowing ourselves to personality ethics, or say techniques, quick fix. Be principle-centered and seek internal security. Only through empathic listening can we really understand others and then by articulate and sincere presentation to be well understood. Take Quadrant II activities always as our priorities.
Highly effective life is a process of synergy and spiral renewal. I was deeply impressed by Stephen R. Covey’s vivid account of his personal experiences, sharp illustrations and quotations that facilitate my understanding and really add colors to this book.
In the end, I just want to reaffirm the 7 habits Steven has mentioned in a compelling manner: Private Victory— 1. Be proactive. 2. Begin with the end in mind. 3. Put first things first. Public Victory: 4. Think Win/Win 5.Seek first to understand then to be understood. 6. Synergize 7. External Circle: Renewal. Those 7 habits are useful for our self-reflection and enable us to better contribute to others as well as to the world. I really appreciate N. Eldon Tanner’s saying: Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth. I will reach back to this book from time to time to refresh and sharpen the saw of my understanding. Thank you Steven for your instructive and inspiring accompany.

这本书本来应该更流行的。

1 书中的很多原则如 P/PC balance,Qurdrant Ⅱ,To begin with end in mind,都是一些非常流行同时非常深刻的道理。作者将它整理出来,形成了一个体系,并且以极大的耐心反复训导你。从这个角度来说,我们应该向作者致敬。可惜,我没有耐心读后4个原则,因为目前的经历...

今天停电把这本旧书翻出来读,发现有很多东西都是以前没有读懂的,现在再读,很明朗。温故而知新果然是真的。在这两三年里,我已经从天朝教育制度下的唯物主义四有新人堕落成了一个胡思乱想的“神棍”。我身上有太多人性的缺陷:怀疑,情绪化,自私,嫉妒,自卑,胆怯。。。我需要不断的学习试练改进自己的秉性。请继续照耀...

这本书还真不是心灵鸡汤。仅仅是第一条Be Proactive就对被中国教育体制摧残的我们有非常大的启示。我们生活的准则,到底是依循社会传统,父母期许,还是经过独立思考后形成的只属于自己的认知?在关于个人独立方面的Begin with the End in Mind和Put First Things ...

对所有人来说,实践七个习惯都是一场长期的斗争
0有用 0无用 Yuhe雨荷 2017-02-23
这本书的名字看起来很鸡汤,我看的英文原版,作者谈每个习惯都是从心理建设开始谈起,然后再讲方法论。作者的初衷并不是想要改变别人的价值观,而是试图让读者理解外部的原则。另外,作者本身并没有站在一个成功人士的角度谈论自己多么成功,作者承认“对所有人来说,实践七个习惯都是一场长期的斗争。每个人都会在每个习惯...
