7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Attending the 7 habits class was not a planned one. Initially, I had chosen to enrol for the Grooming Class.
Yes, what was I thinking at that time? Thought it would be fun...
But my colleague thought otherwise. Instead, she said that I should go for the 7 habits class as she said it's very interesting.

Today, I completed the 3 days "process" at Parkroyal, KL and to describe the class as interesting would be an understatement.

Like what Paul said, the 7 habits is not a 3 day class, but a 3 day process.
All 16 of us join this process with "sluge" over our body and 15 of us completed the process cleansed ! (1 of the girl dropout cos she was absent on the 2nd day and Paul had to let her leave). hahahaha.....

Steven Covey wrote this book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and it bacame the blueprint for anyone seeking personal developement.
Believe me, these 7 habits are simple set of life rule yet a remarkable set of inspirational and aspirational standards for anyone who seeks to live a full and purposeful life.

I've drafted my Life's Mission Statement on the 2nd day.
There are loads of things that I would want to accomplish, some childish, some over the top, some just downright silly, but most of it are real and CAN be achieve.
Just that I have never put all these down in writtings.
All these came from deep within me and it felt so much clearer to me now after I have penned it down in words instead of just thoughts.

I'm so glad I did, otherwise it remains just a thought.

Though it's just a mere 3 days I found myself walking back on the track after going through pebbled track for a while. Now I can see where the track is heading to.


First published in 1989, the 7 habits are timeless and I found it to be even more relevant in todays life.


Sow a thought, reap an action;
Sow an action, reap a habit;
Sow a habit, reap a character;
Sow a character, reap a destiny.
