What I want to be able to say
  • What do I have to say about myself?
  • Do you want to be remembered as a person who added value to society? 
  • If that's the case are you doing the things that will allow you to say that, or are you scared of failure and choose comfortable mediocrity instead?
Habit #3: Put First Things First
Know your priorities and allocate your time accordingly, i.e. spend more time with your family

Habit #4: Think WIN:WIN

Habit #5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood

Habit #6: Synergise
You can increase your output, expand you knowledge and be happier if you collaborate and build relationships with others.

Habit #7: Sharpen the Saw
  • Anything worthwhile takes time.
  • Invest your time by going to the gym regularly and reading a book 15 mins a day rather than looking for "quick tips and tricks."
