A great read indeed!  By author Stephen R. Covey.
The “Seven Habits of Highly Successful People” is a reminder that to be effective we first must be well informed, possess values and be true to our own principles. It’s our responsibility to develop our capabilities and exercise the habits  to become both effective and successful in our lives. It is our perceptions and assumptions that determines how we approach our work and the relationship to others . We have the ability to adjust these assumptions and in doing so change our interpretation of our world. Covey says to change the paradigm, focus on seven habits.
