The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Steven R. Covey

This is what I have understood after reading the book.

    It's been too long reading a book. I had read this book few years ago. I start reading this book again today (July 25th, 2020). I have just faced a problem related with habits that makes me return to this book. I looked for the book in my bookshelves, found it and read it.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven R. Covey, I have the Indonesian version. I just review using my basic English. This is all my ability. Do not judge. If I review it wrong, let me know in the comment down below. The review is based on my understanding and compared with my experience.

Before we go further into the 7 Habits, we need to consider about the term of paradigm and principle.

Paradigm is the framework of the place you will destine. Principles are your own ways to reach the destination.

To apply the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven R. Covey, you need to read the book based on multiple perspectives and principles. To achieve the level you need to share with others so you can compare the experiences faced by different people.
