=> 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Book by Stephen R. Covey
The 90/10 Principle by Stephen Covey. ( Law of averages )
Hi Folks! Once we understand this principle we can change the way we react, 90% of the results come from the how we react and 10% from the fact that it happened to us...
1 - Be proactive
Talks about the concept of Circle of Influence and Circle of Concern. Work from the center of your influence and constantly work to expand it. Don't sit and wait in a reactive mode, waiting for problems to happen (Circle of Concern) before taking action...so you can keep control of your life-
2 - Begin with the end in mind
Envision what you want in the future so you can work and plan towards it. Understand how people make decisions in their life. To be effective you need to act based on principles and constantly review your mission statement. Are you - right now - who you want to be? What do I have to say about myself? How do you want to be remembered? If habit 1 advises changing your life to act and be proactive, habit 2 advises that you are the programmer! Grow and stay humble.
All things are created twice. Before we act we should act in our minds first before we create something we measure twice. this is what the principle is about, do not just act, think first, is this how I want it to go and are these the correct consequences.
