One of the most influential
books I've ever read was Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective
People."
If you've never read it,
I highly recommend you do so. But in the meantime, the 7 habits are:
1. Be Proactive
2. Begin With The End in
Mind
3. Put First Things
First
4. Think Win/Win
5. Seek First to
Understand, Then to be Understood
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the Saw
I recently discovered
that Covey wrote a follow-up book titled "The 8th Habit." It's so
incredible that I often find what I'm thinking about paralleled in a book I
read later. I recently wrote about leaving a legacy, and about pursuing
greatness (in the difference made in other's lives) and then I find this book
which focuses on going from Effectiveness to Greatness, and finding your voice
and inspiring others to find theirs.
I hadn't really thought
of it in this way, but I suppose one of the primary purposes of this blog is to
inspire others to find their voice as I am finding mine.
I hope that as I share
what has inspired me, that you will be inspired and make positive
changes in your own lives."
