Summary
From habit 6 to habit 7
Habit 6---synergy means that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, learning to interact and cooperate with others to create great benefits. For example, in synergistic communication, we can open our mind and heart and expression to new possibilities and new options. Synergy in the classroom, it will produce brainstorming with the spirit of creativity, imagining and intellectual networking. Synergy in business, it will bring a collective free association and a spontaneous piggybacking of ideas. In addition, synergy will offer us the third alternative to cope with formidable problems well. Meanwhile, the essence of synergy---value the difference gives us different perspectives to see the world. After learning the six habits, the most significant thing is to sharpen the saw(principles of balanced self-renewel)---habit 7.It makes other habits possible on the basic of four dimensions of renewal: physical, spiritual, mental and social/emotional which needs to deal with them in a wise and balanced way.
中文感悟
Habit 6 给我印象最深便是整体的力量大于个体以及value the differences.特别是那个synergy in classroom, 大家在激烈的讨论,发表自己的观点,思想的碰撞,激发创造力,想象力。这都远远大于个人所能够企及的高度,不仅让自己理解更多的东西,还能做出最好的方案。Value the differences, 让我想到"我有一个苹果,你有一个苹果,我们俩交换,还是彼此只有一个苹果;但如果我有一种思想,你有一种思想,我们交换,我们就有了两种思想"。对待不同的观点,我们不是去劝说别人放弃自己的观点而接受自己的观点,更不是去诋毁别人的观点,我们要做的便是拥抱不同的观点,从对方的视觉中,我们可以看到不同的风景,何乐而不为呢?就如我们看各种文学作品,我们能通过作者的描述,体验不同的文化与生活,在不同的世界里穿梭,开阔自己的眼界,增长自己的见识。
Habit 7 sharpen the saw (principles of balanced self-renewel),我的理解为:当我们行走的太匆忙,我们需要停下来,好好审视自己的走过的路,好好想想自己的未来,找回幸福快乐的感觉,renewal and refresh,再重新开始上路,又是一个全新的自己。
