BE AT THE MERCY OF THINGS WHICH
MATTER LEAST.

others through delegation is
intrinsic in HABIT 3

dictates that you see through
lens of importance rather than
urgency

– Identify a Quadrant II activity you
know has been neglected in your
life—one that, if done well, would
have a significant impact in your
life, either personally or
professionally. Write it down and
commit to implement it.

 BASIC UNDERSTANDING

1.Personality techniques and skills

may trim your vital character base.
2.Self-mastery and self-discipline are
the foundation of good
relationships
3.Real self-respect comes from true
“INDEPENDENCE”
4.Most important ingredient in any
relationship is what we are and not
what we do or say.
 Deposit 1 – Understand the
Individual
• Really seeking to understand
another is the key to every other
deposit.
• What is important to another
person must be as important to
you.
• Understand people deeply, as you
want to be understood yourself.
 Deposit 2 – Attend to the Little
Things
Little kindness and courtesies are so
important.
People are very kind, very sensitive
inside.
People remember acts of kindness
and courtesies, even small ones.
• Courtesy, kindness, honesty and
keeping commitments build
TRUST and are deposits.
• Discourtesy, disrespect, cutting
off, over-reacting, ignoring,
arbitrariness, betraying,
threatening and domineering
lowers TRUST and are
withdrawals.
• When TRUST levels are low,
everyone is for him/herself
protecting self-interest and
politicking.
• Our valued relationships require
constant deposits.
• The Deposits & Withdrawals are
what build or destroy trusts
• When we truly like others, we
help them feel secure, safe,
validated and affirmed in their
essential worth, identity and
integrity.
• Their natural growth process is
encouraged.
• They can easily live the laws of
life: co-operation,
contribution, self-discipline,
integrity and achieve the best
within them.
• On the other hand, counselling
and pleading set limits and
consequences.
