7 habits of highly ineffective people

I saw this book, "7 habits of highly Ineffective people" a few days ago @ Popular and thought it was quite ...a good reminder for me. haha~*

First habit: "Be reactive. Always doubt yourself and blame others."
By being reactive you don't have to take a preventive action, entertain a forethought or plan for anything in advance. You can avoid decisions forever by continuing to doubt yourself. If you don't take a decision in the first place, how can you blame yourself. This way, you also reserve the right to blame others for the inconveniences and difficulties.

Second habit: "Work without any clear end in mind."
Then whichever way it ends, look at it philosophically, "That's the way things sometimes happen. " The fact that the outcome didn't turn out to be so great is nobody's fault and certainly not yours.

Third habit: "Do only what is urgent."
You will have the satisfaction of doing the urgent thing while avoiding crises until things catch up with you.

Fourth habit: To think in win/lose terms, that is, "I should win and they should lose."
It becomes the basic orientation to all negotiations and collaborations. Sometime, this may offer you a big ego trip and when you lose, you may even get some sympathy.

Fifth habit: "Seek first to be understood."
Don't try to understand them until they understand you and that way you can be even with them.

Sixth habit: To follow the dictum, "If you can't win, compromise."
This will help you to secretly admire yourself for being so adaptable and having "one up on them."

Seventh habit: "Fear change and put off improvement."
When you spend all your energy in maintaining the status quo, many of your coworkers will become your bosom buddies.

Foster these seven habits and you shall rank very highly among the highly ineffective people.
To understand more, go to the library and get this book. haha~*
