HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE

Top 7 Lessons learned From The Book "The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People"

Habit 1: Be Proactive

Stephen Covey refers to proactivity as simply taking responsibility for your life. 

Those who think proactively tend to focus their efforts on what they can do something about. They think in terms of, “I can”, “I will”, “I prefer”.

Habit 2: Begin With The End In Mind 

What is your end goal and what can you do to reach it?

Build a Personal Mission Statement to help you keep on track.

Having a mission statement is something that can help you focus on your goals and what you can do to meet them.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

Prioritize.

Covey states, “Putting first things first means living and being driven by the principles you value most, not by the agendas and forces surrounding you.”

It allows us to access a more balanced life.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

Putting your attention less on competition and more on collaboration.

When you take the time to look at what benefits both parties, it shows respect, maturity, integrity, and confidence. 

It can positively affect your character and improve relationships.

Habit 5: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood

Communication, specifically listening, is the basis for this habit.

Do not listen with the intent to reply, listen to understand.

Doing this is another great way to improving the relationship.

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy refers to teamwork.

Take the time to truly accept the other person’s differences. Then use that understanding to feed off of each other and gain new insight into your situation.

Next time you’re in a difficult situation, try out the path to synergy.

Habit 7: Sharpen The Saw

Focus on the most important thing you have, YOU. When you ‘sharpen the saw’, you are taking the time you need for self-renewal.

Outwitting The Devil

𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟏𝟎 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 "𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥".

1. “Remember that your dominating thoughts attract, through a definite law of nature, by the shortest and most convenient route, their physical counterpart. Be careful what

your thoughts dwell upon.”

2. “You are entitled to know that two entities occupy your body. One of these entities is motivated by and responds to the impulse of fear. The other is motivated by and responds to the impulse of faith. Will be guided by faith or will you allow fear to overtake you?”

3. “The capacity to surmount failure without being discouraged is the chief asset of every person who attains outstanding success in any calling.”

4. “Failure is man-made circumstance. It is never real until accepted by man as permanent.”

5. “Your only limitation is the one which you set up in your own mind.”

6. “Nature will not tolerate idleness or vacuums of any sort. All space must be and is filled with something. When the individual does not use the brain for the expression of positive, creative thoughts, nature fills the vacuum by forcing the brain to act upon negative thoughts.”

7. “The person who moves with definiteness recognizes the difference between temporary defeat and failure. When plans fail he substitutes others but he does not change his purpose. He perseveres.”

 “FEAR is the tool of a man-made devil.”

9. “Failure always is a blessing when it forces one to acquire knowledge or to build habits that lead to the achievement of one’s major purpose in life.”

10. “Men and women who come to the closing chapter of life disappointed because they did not attain the goal which they had set their hearts upon achieving, they teach you what not to do.”

365 Days with Self-discipline.

8 LESSONS FROM 365 DAYS WITH SELF DISCIPLINE 

1. Self Discipline Is Hard 

Self-discipline means living your life the hard way: resisting temptations and instant gratification, in order to receive bigger and better rewards in the future. It’s certainly easier to avoid all kinds of discomfort and indulge yourself whenever you want, but in the end, all that you get from that approach is fleeting pleasure now at the expense of your future, which otherwise could have been much better.

2. One Decision Can Set A Wrong Precedent 

It takes only a moment to make the wrong choice and jeopardize your future. What feels like an insignificant decision today can have a great, lasting impact on your future. Each choice sets a precedent — and when you make the same wrong choice several times in a row, it becomes your standard modus operandi .

3. You Have The Ability To Be Disciplined 

Humans have the capacity to act against their urges in exchange for a better future. Unfortunately, many people live by the principle of “if it feels good, do it, and if it doesn’t, don’t do it.”

Caving in to your temptations whenever you feel them emerge is like relinquishing your humanity, in a way. As an intelligent human being, you have an ability — and I daresay an obligation — to make decisions that are based on rational thinking, not on your instincts alone.

4. Be A Better Human 

Strive to be a better human and embrace your humanity by exercising your “willpower muscle,” instead of succumbing to your most primal (and least helpful for your long-term goals) part of the brain. Your most primal instincts may provide temporary comfort, but seldom are good for the long term, except when there is a direct threat to your survival.

5. Setup Systems For Self Discipline

Prepare yourself for difficult situations by putting up roadblocks ahead of time, when your resolve isn’t being tested. Your self- control system will do some of the heavy lifting for you, leaving your reserves of self-discipline to be used for the unplanned situations, when they arise.

6. It Is Up To You 

While external circumstances can affect you, in the end, whether or not they control your life depends on you. Just like James Allen said, when you achieve self-mastery, no one (and no thing) will have the power to enslave you.

7. Everyone Is Struggling 

Behind the scenes, everyone struggles in some areas of their lives.

8. Make The Choice Today 

The person you’ll become in ten years will most likely not be the same person you are today, but it will still be you — and it’s in your hands whether, ten years from now you’ll look back and feel glad you extended self-empathy well into the future, or find that you decided to be selfish and steal from your future for some fleeting pleasure today.

HABITS TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE IN 21 DAYS

𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟏 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬:

1. Attitude is crucial:

Every- thing that happens to you is a challenge and an opportunity at the same time.

2. How you respond is key:

what hurts us is not what happens to us, but our response to what happens to us. The most important thing is how we RESPOND to what happens to us in our lives. And that is a CHOICE!

3. Keep your self talk positive:

Keep the conversation with yourself positive, such as "I want to achieve success", "I want to be slim", "God, I am good", because your subcon- scious mind doesn't understand the little word "NO". It sees your words as IMAGES.

4. Choose your thoughts carefully:

"If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought," 

5. New habits new life:

The coaching process is, in its essence a process of changing the client's habits over time by introducing new ways of doing things

The words that we use to describe our experiences become our experiences!

Start Now, Get Perfect Later

Top 10 Practical Lessons From the Book “Start Now. Get Perfect Later”

1. You are not alone

We all procrastinate. You are not alone. If you are struggling, ask for help.

What you are going through, we all are, and there are others who’ve solved your biggest problem. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

2. Your work is not your worth

Have a clear wall of defence between you and your work.

The world can judge your work, but that does not define who you are. You are capable of decisiveness, clarity and greatness.

3. The pain & paradox of perfection

Perfectionism can be a curse and a veil to protect your self-worth to avoid the fear of failure and being judged.

Strive for excellence instead. ‘Start Now. Get Perfect Later’.

4. Pre-crastination

Pre-crastination is the illusion of busyness we create by ‘getting things ready’ before we start.

Save your faffing, checking and moving things from one place to another for your first break, where you can reward yourself with some procrastination.

5. Active procrastination

Beware of ‘active procrastination’: being busy for the sake of feeling busy.

Catch yourself out, break the pattern, and do a high-value task or make an important decision now.

6. Don’t put off until tomorrow…

Do not put off until tomorrow what needs to be done today. ‘Start Now’.

Do. Not. Delay. A decision to do nothing is still a decision, and that all-important task will get nastier and bigger and hairier until you sort it out.

7. Don’t dwell on the past…

Live in the moment.

Allow it to play out with curiosity, and don’t ruin it by bringing your baggage into the present.

Let go. Forgive yourself and others.

Don’t dwell on the past…fail forward fast.

8. What other people think of you

People will judge you no matter what you decide or do, so do the thing that is best for yourself and those you care about.

Be yourself and you will find those who like you for who you are, not who you are pretending to be.

9. Think BIG, start small

The bigger the task, the harder it is to start. Chunk it down to the single, easy first step, and start walking. Before you know it, you’ve run a marathon or eaten an elephant.

10. What NOT to do

It can help knowing what you should be doing by knowing what you should NOT be doing.

Minimize all low-value and time-wasting tasks, and conversely leverage out high-value tasks that others can do better than you, to get your task list down.

Mind management not time management

𝟏𝟐 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 "𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭".

1. Being productive today isn't about time management, it's about mind management.

2. Time management optimizes the resource of time. Mind management optimizes the resource of creative energy.

3. Not all hours are created equal: If you write for an hour a day, within a year you'll have a book. But you can't instead simply write for 365 hours straight, and get the same result.

4. The First Hour Rule is simply this: Spend the first hour of your day working on your most important project.

5. If you start your day working on the most important thing, there's less of a chance for other things to get in the way.

6. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think creatively. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think analytically.

7. The point of time is not to fill as much life as possible into a given unit of time. The point of time is to use time as a guide to living a fulfilling life.

8. A one-hour increase in average daily sleep raises productivity by more than a one-year increase in education.

9. When you randomly switch from one activity to another, your energy leaks...If you're doing that all the time, little of your energy is going toward traction.

10. A Harvard study found that the busier knowledge workers were, the less creative they were; this study found that as workers became more busy , they did less creative thinking activities such as; brainstorming. They reported fewer insights and their work was also rated as less creative by their colleagues .

11. Noise level can also affect your ability to think creatively...studies suggest that a background noise level of about seventy decibels is optimal for idea generation.

12. Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them.

Leader in you.

Leadership Lessons from" The Leader in you"-Dale Carnegie

1. Talk less, listen more.

People will pay attention to what you say, just because of your position. The leader’s job is to pay attention to what other people say, especially those who think their views don’t count. Show you’re listening by acting on what people tell you, and gain their trust by giving them the credit.

2. Don’t step in with solutions too quickly.

No-one learns anything new if you keep doing what you already know how to do, and don’t allow others to try. Anyway, they may find a different, or better way, and if not… mistakes are valuable too.

3. Be authentic.

Be authentic, passionate, even emotional, about what you believe in. Share your vision and live your values. The personal is more engaging, even inspiring, than the process.

4. Don’t ‘dis’ downwards.

Once a decision is made by the Board, or the leadership team, it’s yours even if you argued against it during discussions. Your job as leader is to get others to believe in, and work towards, a shared goal, not to divide opinion or loyalties.

5. I’m OK: You’re OK.

Start from the position that everyone is doing the best they can, then look for ways to support and encourage them – which is so much more rewarding than finding fault.

6. Don’t be the smartest person in the room.

Being a leader does not mean knowing more than anyone else. Recognise, encourage and promote others as experts. Give them the trust and autonomy to be creative and do excellent work, defined in their terms. You simply provide the direction, so that this excellent work contributes to a shared purpose.

7. Sense of purpose.

Your team know what they do and how to do it, but you can make a big difference by sharing a strong sense of why they’re doing it and where it’s heading. Help them develop a broad understanding of the team’s purpose, and faith in how their role contributes to the whole. (Remember the floor-sweeper at NASA?)

8. Being right isn’t enough.

A great idea is of no consequence unless you can convince others to believe it too, and then persuade them to help you make your idea a reality. The best way to do this is to make the idea theirs.

9. Focus on a few things.

Focusing on the things that really matter and where you can make a difference. There may be a hundred different distractions and demands on your time and a hundred ways you could respond, but it’s the dozen carefully chosen actions that deliver the results.

10. Get out and about.

Get out and about and in the work. It’s hard to retain that sense of what the job’s really about when you are sitting

The Art of War

The Art of War

20 Lessons Learned from "The Art of War " by SUN TZU

#1 Unprepared Loses

You have to live and finish the war with every detail in your mind. There should be no room for surprises. During the battle, your time and other resources will be limited. If you don’t know which resource to use for how long, you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere. The party with the plan is strong. The side that has a good plan is the side that is close to victory. Plan the week, the day, the hour, even the minutes.

#2 Creating a Budget

Be aware of how much budget you have for everything from your education to your vacation and how many days or years you can manage with it. Do not try to do a big job by saying that I will find a budget later. It can take a lifetime to compensate for such risks.

#3 Thinking Over and Over

As mentioned earlier in this The Art of War Summary, don’t be lazy thinking. Think again and again about what might happen when you encounter your enemy. Live it over and over in your mind. Repeat this until you have realistically formed the possibilities that will win you over. Trust your abilities, then pursue victory.

#4 Save the Big Goal for Last

Start with small goals first. Even if you want to, you cannot reach the big goal at the beginning of the road. You cannot walk the day you are born. You cannot write poetry the day you learn to write. You will improve yourself day by day. Keeping your big goal in mind, you will move forward with small steps. Knowing that that day will come, but without haste.

#5 Strict Rules

If there is anything as important as strict rules, it is knowing when to bend the rules. The one who adapts wins. When the conditions change, the rules also change. Be the party that sets and enforces the rules. Because you can’t always control the conditions.

#6 Be Unpredictable

Appear so defenseless in the face of the enemy that he will lower all their shields against you. If you are weak, look so strong that the enemy does not want to fight you. For example, teams that underestimate their opponents in sports learned very painful lessons with their first defeat.

#7 You Can’t Win Every Battle

There will be wars that you cannot win, but you do not have to enter those wars. If you know you’re going to lose, choose your strategy accordingly and stay away from battle until you get stronger. Make a deal. Stall to gain time, but don’t engage in a losing battle on purpose.

#8 Timing

In war, in your career, in your relationships, or anywhere else in your life, time is everything. Being in the right place at the right time wins you many battles. It allows you to get ahead of many people. Even if the decision you make is correct, if you choose the wrong time to implement that decision, you will lose.

#9 Your Strengths

It is your strengths that will win you the war. Find these aspects of yourself and develop them until they make you invincible. Let your talents become so sharp that they even help you to cover your other weaknesses. This will be your biggest advantage.

#10 Turn Crisis into Opportunity

If you manage to stay calm even in the worst times, you will come out of the crisis the most profitable. Do not be deceived by those who panic and fear. Every crisis period will pass, but those who set the right strategy in that period continue their lives stronger.

#11 Know Yourself

The better you know yourself, the better your plan will be. Don’t plan on features you’re not sure of. You should realistically reveal these features without deceiving yourself and act accordingly.

#12 Enemies

There is no difference between your enemies or your goals in life. If you want victory in both, you must follow the same roadmap. You must know your enemy and your target very well. You have to learn how to conquer it most easily. What happens next is just following the plan.

#13 Be Mysterious

Once you are confident about your strengths and weaknesses, it’s easy to deceive the enemy about it. What you need to hide is your grand plan. Because if they know what you desire, it will be easier for them to find their weaknesses through it. They don’t hesitate to use their target against you.

#14 First Victory

You just win the war once. You will start to get more support from the people around you and you will see that the number of people who believe in you increases. This way, your next victories will be easier and you will reach your goal sooner than you expected.

#15. Assure

No soldier goes after a commander they don’t trust. Are your words consistent? Do you look strong? Were you able to convey the thought that you would win to your soldiers? If you can achieve these, you can rule a huge army with one word.

#16 Emotions

The greatest enemy is not in front of you but your mind. A soldier who is a prisoner of his feelings becomes a prisoner of the enemy at the end of the war. Act regardless of your feelings. That’s why sticking to the plan is extremely important.

#17 Doubt

If you have the slightest doubt about yourself, your army, or your strength, do not enter that war. Even if you are stronger than your enemy, you cannot make the right decisions when in doubt. This will be your end.

#18 Land Conditions

The one who adapts the most to the terrain conditions from two armies of the same strength wins. If you are far away from your own living space, if you are faced with an unfamiliar climate, it is a matter of time to lose the war. Your soldiers start to run out very quickly mentally.

#19 Being Appreciated

After winning the war, you must earn the admiration of your enemy and the people of that country. Your fight is over. From now on, your rules will apply, but your intervention in their lives may revolt against an exhausted people. You don’t want to deal with people who will attack you with nothing to lose.

#20 Nobody Can Guarantee You Won The War

If you don’t have the slightest doubt about your chances of winning the war, enter that war, but if you have any doubt, look for ways to win without fighting. If you can make a profitable deal, you won the war without a fight. If you have such an opportunity, do not miss it.

Top 6 lesson learned from book - Wings Of Fire.

1)We are all born with a divine fire in us.

Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire.

Every person possesses extraordinary power within himself. Once we realize that power, we should not let that potential go to waste. We should take steps towards achieving our goals by knowing that we have the power and are capable of what we want to achieve. We should always keep that fire burning in our souls and let it guide us.

2)Total commitment is not just hard work; it is total involvement.

Commitment is not just working 24*7 or working with no direction or just completing the work before you anyhow. Commitment is the way of doing your task by putting your whole and soul into it. Total involvement is- your attention should be only on your job but nowhere else. Total involvement means doing the work with great excellence.

3)Problems are part of life; sufferings is the essence of success.

365 days of the year are not the same. Everyone has to face ups and downs in their life, particularly on the path of achieving their dreams. But these obstacles do not come in your way to stop you. They come to teach you some lessons and to make you stronger than before. Sufferings might seem unpleasant; still, we should welcome them as we welcome pleasure because we can not really enjoy success until we have experienced suffering. We should learn from them, and we should use them as an opportunity to increase our standard.

4)A big shot is nothing but a little shot that keeps on shooting.

Often we get overwhelmed by the notion of perfection or the notion of sudden big change in our life. But to accomplish the goal, we have to put it into work every single day. We can not get success overnight. It takes time, and our job is to do our defined work every day because success is a series of small wins.

5)Naturally, major opportunities are accompanied by equally major challenges.

The bigger you dream, the harder you have to work, the harder challenges you have to confront in your journey. And this will be a futile expectation that with average efforts, you can achieve something extraordinary. There is a simple law if you want to achieve some great heights in your life, you should be prepared to face that many great challenges.

6)Before God trusts you with success, you must prove yourself humble enough to handle the big prize.

Before god, reward your success. He always tests the person whether he deserves it or not. Therefore, always keep yourself grounded and be kind to others. Do not be egoist after getting a successor before that. Because God always favors those who are worth handling the success without being rude.

What kind of procrastinatorare you?Type of procrastination -

1)Hesitators

Hesitators have such a hard time

making decisions that they often get to

work rather late in the game, whether it’s

working on a paper or studying for an

exam. Hesitators tend to avoid new

situations because they're likely to cause

anxiety and feelings of incompetence.

Hesitators would gain a lot from trusting

themselves more. If they think they'll

have trouble with an assignment, they

can always ask for help from a colleague

or a teacher.

2)Shirkers

Shirkers try to avoid disagreeable or

boring situations. They prefer to keep their

minds distracted by busying themselves

with other work. They probably feel

anxious about being evaluated and prefer

to hand their work in at the last minute.

This way they can justify their poor

performance by saying they didn't have

enough time. It's important for shirkers to

increase their tolerance for activities that

they don’t particularly enjoy, and to realize

that their teachers are evaluating the quality

of their work, not their value as individual

people.

3) Perfectionist

Perfectionists are often chasing after such

inaccessibly high standards they end up

discouraged rather than motivated. Their

quest for excellence leaves them chronically

dissatisfied, which pushes them to

perpetually postpone handing in their work.

Luckily, by accepting their strengths and

weaknesses and following project or

homework guidelines, perfectionists can

decrease their anxiety and get the work

piling up on their desk done - on time!

A) Anarchists

Anarchists don't much like having to meet

other people's standards. They don't feel

very motivated when they see a task as

imposed on them, and they react by

postponing it so they can accomplish

something more satisfying. They're

sometimes very invested in extracurricular

activities, which excite them more and might

eat up all their time. (Opportunities are certainly not lacking on campus!) To improve their work habits, anarchists might find reasons to get started by linking their assignments with their personal interests.

Becoming aware of the excuses we use to

justify putting off our obligations enables

us to recognize those moments in which

we're in danger of succumbing to

procrastination. This is a crucial step if you're

going to respond effectively next time!

The next step is convincing yourself to

actually do your work, in order to ensure

your academic success and maintain your

quality of life.

Chip away at daunting tasks in 5- to 10-minute
