Hello, guys.
This sharing is still about the seven habits of highly effective people.
This time we are going to talk about the habit three.
The habit 3 is to put first things first. Obviously, things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least. Actually, the way you spend your time is a result of the way you see your time and the way you really see your priorities.
As we all know, 80% of the results flow out of 20% of the activities, which means we really need to pay enough attention to those crucial 20%.
You know, there are a lot of things to do everyday, whereas our time and energy is limited. It is not practical to put equal time and focus on every thing. Therefore we have to make choices. We have to judge the importance degree of our to-do lists. Those successful people are tend to make substruction not addition.
If only one thing is most important for you, then what is it? You need to find it. In the course of your finding, It is also the process to ask yourself, again and again, what I want to be and What matter most for me? We usually can't figure out the relationship between ourselves and things, which leads to our lost and confusion. If you don't know where you want to arrive, you absolutely can't make it. So it's an essential step to make sure what matters most and then give the priority to it.
Some wonderful sentences in the book are as follows:
One person's mission is another person's minutia.
What is important to another person must be as important to you as the other person is to you.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
It's how you treat the one that reveals how you regard the ninety-nine.
I had lived for months trying to avoid the problem, seeing it as a source of irritation, a struggling block and wishing it would somehow go away.
If both people aren't winning, both are losing.
Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things... I am tempted to think... there are no little things.
Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.
Our meaning comes from within. Again, in the words of Frankl," Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life, and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life, to life he can only respond by being responsible".
People can't live with change of there's not a changes core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an art, but a habit. ——Aristotle
No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or by emotional appeal.
Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken.
Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. "Sow a thought, reap a an actio; Sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.
The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.
We must not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time.
That's all. See you next time!
