The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

From the Book of Stephen R. Convey. Book for Personal Effectiveness.. Just want to share this to all..
Summary of the 7 habits for highly effective people

Habit 1: Be Proactive

Change Starts from within, and highly effective people make the decisions to improve their lives through the things that they can influence rather than by simply reacting to external forces.

Habit 2: Begin with the End of Mind

Develop a Principle - centered personal mission statement. Extend the mission statement in long - term goals based on Personal Principles.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

Spend time doing what fits into your personal mission, observing the proper balance between production and building production capacity. Identify the key roles that you take on in life, and make time for each of them.

Habit 4: Think win/win

Seek agreements and relationship that are mutually beneficial. In case where a "win/win" deal cannot be achieved, accept the fact that agreeing to make "no deal" may be the best alternative. In developing an organizational culture, be sure to reward win/win behavior among employees and avoid inadvertantly rewarding win/lose behavior.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be understood

First seek to understand the other person, and only then try to be understood (according to covey this is the most important principle of interpersonal relations. Effective listening is not simply echoing what the other person has said through the len's of one's own experience. Rather, putting oneself in the perspective of the other persons, listening empathically for both feeling and meaning.

Habit 6: Synergize

Through trustful communication, find ways to levergae individual differences to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Through mutual trust and understanding, one often can solve conflicts and find a better solution than would have been obtained through either person's own solution.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Take time out from productions to build production capacity through personal renewal of the Physical, Mental, Social/Emotional, and Spiritual dimensions. Maintain a balance among these dimensions.

The 5 things we can do to clean up our act (from KC)

I saw this to her multiply.. I find it usefull to me.. so it could guide me to be a better 'Jane' this year.

1. the guts to eat the right stuff. junk tastes gooood but try drinking as much water as you can. then watch what you take in cos it can make you or break you. an electric juicer is still the best tool for gulping up the desired, but often dreaded, greens

Note: According to a nutritionist I know, malunggay supposedly has 3x more calcium than milk and 7x more vitamin C than orange juice
TIP: don't make the mistake of trying to process fresh malunggay into a shot glass... malakas pala tama nun para kang nag tequila!!! you'll be hit by a serious migraine, cold sweats and a possible fainting fit.

2. get out of your comfort zone... do something. do one thing every week that scares you. slap yourself when you get crazy lazy & it's not an official holiday. shake your boo-tay when you like the music you hear, cos angels aside, you are down and depressed sometimes! think of what, in the 9 lives of a cat, you believe in... you have to believe in SOMETHING... make yourself useful. puwera plastikan.

3. compliment someone (and mean it). I read this somewhere before and it's so great. there isn't a snowball's chance in hell you wouldn't get a kick out of it-- it works with anyone cos everyone is somewhat vain and wants a compliment! how bout saying THANK YOU to someone... or making a peace offering... there has to be someone you haven't talked to in a while? make peace, not war. make loooove, not war.

4. find something to LIKE. a new film? song? out of the box idea? a new dream job? a new tambayan? something about your PAST? laugh. try it now, smile. makes you feel good already i'm sure. laugh cos something's funny, laugh cos you find something ridiculous. laugh cos it's good for you. laugh cos you can.

5. never allow anyone to say you don't have a BACKBONE. take a break. know when & why you have to be fair to yourself. know how to cry whether out of relief or remorse. know when something is hurting you. know when something is an act of truth or just an act, period. know when something is, or isn't, good for you. don't stress yourself out about it all... rest, and try to see why you should be proud of your decisions.

*wala namn masama if we will follow this .. ok naman sya ehh... :)

JAMPACKED!!!

Grabe nakakaloka - December ito na ata ang pinaka jam pack na month for me e-include pa natin ang last day of November.. Let me start first nung mga last week of November..

November 28, 2007

My friend/officemate/sister/kaadikan partner textd me in the middle of the night, she said that she have to tell something important and serious take note of the word (kasi namn parati kami naggagaguhan nito..) to me.. grabe nung nakita ko un ng morning sobrang kinabahan ako.. at first in denial pa ako.. iniisip ko joke time lang.. pero at the back of my mind sinasabi nya na this time mukhang seryoso ito ahh.. we even went to the office together para mapilit ko lng na sabihin na nya sa akin.. pero ayun sabi nya may right time and place daw para sabihin un.. (kung si kuya eh si Mr. takdang panahon, itong isa eh Ms. Takdang panahon) Sobra, parang torture, kung anu-ano na ung naiisip ko. after office hour we went sa mall, bibili kasi kami ng mga kailangan for Sagada.. Ayun sabi nya magdinner muna kami, TIA MARIAS this is the place, to where it all happened.. Pagkaupo pa lng namin tinanong ko na.. Ayun, bigla nya sinabi.. Aalis na raw sya sa office.. at first parang indi ko maintindihan.. but when she begun to cry.. ayun na nga totoo nga ang hinala ko.. grabe parang nashock ako, ayoko umiyak pero d ko mapigilan, Nalungkot talaga ko ng sobra, pero im happy for her, kasi at least unti-unti nya tinutupad ung mga dreams nya in her own way. My feeling that time, gusto ko siya pigilan pero I know that's unfair on her part kasi para sa career nya un. kaya inisip ko na lng na hindi namn mapuputol ung friendship namin dahil lang aalis na sya sa office. Goodluck shirl! I hope you will find your Peronal Legend.

November 29, 2007

Jhen invited us to to go to metrobar, para indi namn malungkot dahil indi kami natuloy kaso sobrang d talaga ata pwede umalis dahil bigla naman nagdeclare ng Curfew because of what happened in Makati (trillanes and his team marched in Makati regional trial court upto The Peninsula, nagattempt nanaman mag coup pero d namn successful kaasar nagkagulo lang). kaya Nagsimba na lng kami nila shirl and amie sa st. jude and then nag jobi na lng kami hehehe..
