The Impact of 7 Habits to My Life

7 Habits do change my life and the way I associate with family members and other people. I was a hot temper person especially with my family. After a year of internalizing the habits, especially Habits 1, 4, 5 and 6, my life has changed a lot. I calm down and have ways to deal and maintain relationship with people. No complaining, being able to say what I want and listening to what they want.
Some example I have is Thinking Win-Win with my son when he came home very late at night, not studying. I prepared my wins and his wins in advance and sat down talking to each other. He came back home earlier finally. My relative who went back home came back and stays with me happily.
I learned The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for the first time many years ago when the facilitator was imported from abroad but I did not live any habits until I work for PacRim and was coached by Mr. Mak, our management who encourages team to live the habits. However, if I had not had 7 Habits at all, my life could not have been better like today. I do appreciate what Dr. Covey has contributed to the world making millions of lives live effectively.
