Why don’t you take few minutes to read this article, I hope you will….

First of all let me start like this, myself xxx working in a software firm as a senior developer. Few years back when I was on the way to delhi I met a person and very fast I became very close to him and we started talking about several subjects. He has suggested me two books for personality development programme. That is
1. The 8th habit(Stephen R Covay).
2. The Mind power.
Fortunately I purchased both of the books very next day.

The second book(The mind power) helps us to programme our mind as per our need. I know you will be amazed once you gone through this process. This is true and I experience it. I started practicing this process….. Now I am on the way to my vision.

Okay, Can we start the real programme…

I know most of us don’t have interest to read the full book, so that I would like to share my experience on 7 habit of highly effective people(Stephen R Covay).

How many of us really know who you are and what is your role in this world. Most of us don’t know really what I am talking about. We really daily fight with some body for some thing, and do you know really you want it. ? No we don’t know.

I forget to say one more thing about that person I met on the way to delhi. Our flight was delayed around 3 hours. So we decided to go some good hotel and eat some thing. It was around 6 O Clock in the evening. Once we reached the hotel I really amazed because most of the hotel employees were wishing this person in a very polite way and I know he is not the owner of the hotel and he is not very famous person in this world but still they are. Why I asked my self while walking to our seat. Because of I stopped talking to him continuously he asked me what happed my dear friend Is some thing is disturbe you ? I decided to ask him. Yes, I hope this is not the first time you are in this hotel am I correct . He said NO. This is the third time i am visiting this hotel my friend. So I asked him but still everybody know you well. He simply gave me a smile and asked do you want to be respect with everybody? I said of course I wish to be. So you start giving respect to others. Start respect by saying thanks to that waiter and appreciate him if you like the food. Give him respect automatically he will also give you respect. My Dear friends change your attitude, be positive , be honest , start loving others, understad you can change your life as per your wish. You are the one you are the owner of your life. Decide now from here onwards I will change, I will be successful…….
I Hope I have finished my first part for you.

Now are you ready to study few steps towards the successful of your beautiful life ?

1. Be Proactive(Principles of Personal Vision). As you read this, try to stand apart from yourself. Try to project your consciousness upward
into a corner of the room and see yourself, in your mind's eye, reading. Can you look at yourself almost as though you were someone else? Now try something else. Think about the mood you are now in. Can you identify it? What are
you feeling? How would you describe your present mental state
Now think for a minute about how your mind is working. Is it quick and alert? Do you sense that you are torn between doing this mental exercise and evaluating the point to be made out of it? Your ability to do what you just did is uniquely human. Animals do not possess this ability. We call it "self-awareness" or the ability to think about your very thought process. This is the reason why
man has dominion over all things in the world and why he can make significant advances from generation to generation. This is why we can evaluate and learn from others' experiences as well as our own. This is also why we can make and break our habits.

Being proactive is more than taking initiative. It is accepting responsibility for our own behavior (past, present and future) and making choices based on principles and values rather than on moods or circumstances. Proactive people are agents of change and choose not to be victims; to be reactive is to blame others. They do this by developing and using four unique human gifts-self-awareness, conscience, Imagination, and independent will- and by taking an inside-out approach to creating change. They resolve to be the creative force in their own lives, which is the most fundamental decision anyone ever makes.

2. Begin with end in mind. All things are created twice-first mentally, second physically. Individuals, families, teams and organizations shape their own future by creating a mental vision and purpose for any project. They don’t just live day by day without a clear purpose in mind. They mentally identify and commit themselves to the principles, values, relationships and purpose that matter most to them. A Mission statement is the highest form of mental creation for an individual, a family or an organization. It is the primary decision because it governs all other decisions. Creating a culture behind a shared mission, vision and values is the essence of leadership.
3. Put First things first: - Putting first things first is the second or physical creation, It is organizing and executing around the mental creation(your purpose, vision, values and must important priorities). Second things do not come first. First things do not come second, Individuals and organizations focus on what matters must urgent or not. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
4. Think Win-Win: - Thinking win-win is a frame on mind and heart that seeks mutual benefit and is based on mutual respect in all interactions. Its about thinking in terms of abundance-an ever0expanding “pie” a cornucopia of opportunity, wealth, and resources-rather than of scarcity and adversarial competition. Its not thinking selfishly(win-lose) or like a martyr(Lose-win). In our work and family life members think interdependently-in terms of “we”, not “me”. Thinking win-win encourages conflict resolution and helps individuals seek mutually beneficial solutions. Its sharing information, power, recognition, and rewards.
5. Seek First to understand, then to be understood: - When we listen with the intent to understand others, rather than with the intent to reply, we begin true communication and relashionship building. When oOthers feel understood first, they feel affirmed and valued, defenses are lowered and opportunities to speak openly and to be understood come much more naturally and easily. Seeking to understand takes kindness; seeking to be understood takes courage. Effectiveness lies in balancing the two.
6. Synergize: - Synergy is about a third alternative- not my way; not your way, but a third way that is better than either of us would come up with individually; it’s the fruit of mutual respect-of understated and even celebrating one another’s differences in solving problems, seizing opportunities. Synergistic teams and families thrive on individual strengths so that the whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts.
7. Sharpen your Saw: - Sharpening the saw is about constantly renewing ourselves in the four basic areas of life; physical, social/emotional, mental and spiritual. It’s the Habit that increases our capacity to live all other habits of effectiveness.
