It is so good a book through which I learned a lot:
(1)The key to quality of life is in the compass--it's in the choices we make every day. As we learn to pause in the space between stimulus and response and consult our internal compass, we can face change squarely, confident that we're being true to principle and purpose, and that we're putting first things first in our lives.
(2)wherever we are, the best way to develop courage is to set a goal and achieve it, make a promise and keep it. No matter how small the goal or promise, this one act will begin to build our confidence that we can act with integrity in the moment of choice. It may be a matter of just getting up in the morning---putting "ming over mattress"-- or of subordinating taste to nutrition, even for a day. But as we begin to make and keep promises to ourselves and others, we take the first steps on a path that leads to confidence growth , and peace.
(3)An even greater stumbling block, and the biggest danger to our effort to become principle-centered, is pride.
(4)Ask yourself one last question: Is there something I feel I could do to make a defference??
(5)put first things first. Is it important but not urgent? if it is, just do it with courage!
First Things First!

这书里头有黄金,但是找出来费劲,因为结构太乱,东一榔头西一棒槌,掺杂了很多科维的其他东西,比如影响圈和关注圈、dependent=>independant=>codependent等理论。要有看完了糊里糊涂的准备。真正的脉络如下:先想明白自己想成为一个什么样的人,写出一份人生宣言。根据宣...

P12 将自己的幸福建立在控制一切事情的能力上是徒劳无益的,我们的确可以控制自己的选择,但是我们控制不了选择说带来的结果。P18 在生命的某些阶段,不用按计划行事,忘掉你的Calendar,如果计划只会使你感到内疚,那就不要做计划。服从于你内在的罗盘,而不是墙上的时钟。P21 How many pe...

这本书我看得很快,大概两小时就看完了,如果不是这个速度,我反而觉得不正常,那一定表明,我对于《高效能人士的七个习惯》和《精力管理》都理解得不好。《要事第一》总共385页,是一部挺厚的书了,而事实上,它脱胎于《高效能人士的七个习惯》中第三个习惯“要事第一”,那一章,共30多页,从30多页延延展到近40...
