Hello Everyone, I was just going through the book I completed last year “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” which I must say is Life-changing and one , that I recommend everyone to ponder deeply into. Also, here I am sharing with you all, some of the most important verses, I perceive that should be read and understood from this book…
Albert Einstein observed - “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.”
Implies ---------------------
As we look around us and within us and recognise the problems created as we live and interact within the Personality Ethic, we begin to realize that these are deep, fundamental problems that cannot be solved on the superficial level on which they were created.
We need a new level, a deeper level of thinking – a paradigm based on the principles that accurately describe the territory of effective human being and interacting – to solve these deep concerns.
This new level of thinking is what The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is about. It’s a principle – centred, character- based, “inside-out “approach to personal and interpersonal Effectiveness.
“Inside- Out “ means to start first with self, even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self – with your paradigms, your character, and your motives.
The inside-out approach says that private victories precede pubic victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves precedes making and keeping promises to others. It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try and improve relationships with others before improving ourselves.
Inside-out is a process – a continuing process of renewal based on the natural laws that govern human growth and progress. It’s an upward spiral of growth that leads to progressively higher forms of responsible independence and effective interdependence.
