Notes from the book 7 Habits of Highly Productive People

Sergio Robledo - English teacher/4

Personality and Principled Ethics

The most important factor in a relationship is trust. Without trust, there is no success. Loved the
comparison of human relationships to natural harvest. People often possess secondary
greatness and rarely possess primary greatness.

Paradigms or Worldviews - 7 Habits for Your High Productivity Through the Science of
Perspectives, Insights, and Mindsets. The paradigm says that the map of relationships in a
person's own head determines our life.
It is also thought-provoking that it was explained with a picture example that we judge
something from our own point of view and think that we are the right one, and that it is difficult to
accept other people's opinions.
But it is wrong to think that all paradigms are good. So, right or wrong, paradigms shape our
behavior, and it's our relationships with others.
The boundary between life and death has a powerful effect on changing the human paradigm. A
paradigm shift, be it slow or fast, provides the basis for leapfrog change.
A principle-centered paradigm:
Reality is made up of "lighthouse" principles that are the foundation of human development and
happiness. Principles or natural laws are the source of survival or destruction of families and
nations.
Principles include - personal dignity, helpfulness, rank and dominance.
A principle is not only a guide to human action, but also something of eternally proven value.
Admitting that you don't know is the first step to becoming educated. If we use our knowledge all
the time, how can we remember our ignorance, which is the key to development? Thoreau said.
To build highly productive relationships, we must first learn to listen. Psychological skills are
required.
Einstein: It has been said that the serious problems we face cannot be solved with the thinking
that existed when the problems were created.
Similarly, the serious problems that arise in the field of personal ethics that occur in our lives
have become so complex that they cannot be solved by the superficial and easy methods that
were used when they first arose. Instead, we have a principle-centered paradigm that provides
us with a new level of deeper thinking, or a high-precision map of a highly productive person.
In 7 Habits of Highly Productive People
Change from yourself - first of all yourself, including the innermost part of you: paradigms,
attitudes and motivations. And this method is a constant restoration process based on natural
laws that guide human development and progress.
Most of the principles of the 7 Habits of Successful People are embedded in our nature and
subconscious.
Clarifying the principles of communication:
I liked how the author explained the mistakes he made in his relationship with his son and
daughter and how to correct them with real examples.
It is said that the sun rises from a person, or that the change starts from oneself, and it is good
to communicate with others according to the principles or laws of nature.
There is an opportunity to redraw your personal paradigm correctly, communicate properly with
others, and become highly productive. I realized that it is important not to throw away your
reputation and principles for the benefit of others without looking for fault from others.
