According Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, habits is defined as the intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire. I’m aware of and practice the first three habits which are: 1) be proactive, 2) begin with the end in mind, and 3) put first things first before reading the book. ...
To Covey, proactivity means that as human beings, people are responsible for their own lives, and their behavior is function of their decisions, not their conditions. ... I came across many people that are not proactive. For a full day, I try to listen to my language and to the language of the people around me, I often use and hear reactive phrase such as “If only,” “I can’t,” or “I have to”. ... ” Almost all the people I encountered and noticed use reactive language more often than proactive language. ... I would picture myself at a conversation where people are discussing about me. ... Those visualizations would guide my decisions that reflect on people perception of me. ...
Habit 5, 6, and 7 are too realistic and hard to apply. ... Most people do not listen with intent to understand, and they listen with intent to reply. ...
Habit 7 is personal PC. ... Most people’s times are focus on work and activities that are urgent and important, they don’t have much time to relax and get sufficient rest. ... Though it’s difficult to apply habits 5, 6, and 7, I will try to implement those concepts to my life.
