How to live like successful people

 7 habits of highly successful people book summary

     In our college, office, or school there will be successful people who are scoring high marks or being with the name of a good employee. And in business also, there are the most successful businessmen and women. Did you think any time like what are the secret of their success? The author also thinks like this and did many pieces of research. By the product of research was this book called “7 habits of highly effective people”. In this blog, we are going to the book summary of this book. It will be the most important and helpful book of your life journey.

1. Be proactive

      There are two types of people. They are,

·        Reactive people and

·        Proactive people

    Reactive people are complaining a lot. Like, our education system is too bad, for that only I can’t study well and our Government was worst, they are not allowing me. So, I can’t able to do it. Like the things, they were not ready to accept their failure. In the above example, those are not controllable by ours. They are in other hands.

    But, Proactive people always focus on what will be controlled by their selves. And they are always taking responsibility for their problems. If business was not going well, reactive people said like, “these people are worst and they are not always ready to buy this kind of products”. But, Proactive people are always focusing on what will wrong with their products and how to improve their quality of service or product.

2. Begin with the end in mind

     You just assume that you are attending the funeral but that funeral was a different one because your’ body in that coffin box, it was your funeral. Just think, what are people want to say about you in your last time like he/she was the best musician or the best dancer or whatever it is. Just focus on your present self that you are being like the person who you described yourself.

3. Put first things first

     If anybody asked us what was the most important thing in our life. Our answer is that of my family, my career, or whatever it was. But, now we are spending our valuable time, by watching T.V shows or watching unwanted stuff. So, the author said that give first priority to the important things of yours.

4. Think win to win

     This concept was really nice. The author said that we should have a growth mindset to be successful. An example of this concept was that you can take an example as my youtube channel. I had 864 subscribers (March 13-2022). Just assume that there was another youtube channel with the same subscribers' count when compared to my channel. I had two options. Those are that I will write a comment on their youtube videos like you’re too bad. Your videos are cringe. But, I had another option that I will write a comment like your videos are too good, and can we make a collaboration? If did like that, he also benefited and I also benefitted.

5. Seek first to understand and then to be understood

      If anybody talking with us, we should give a response to them. Do not act like we are listening in front of us. For example, I said,” I wrote this blog by watching more videos and read a lot of articles. So, please read it fully”. If I told like it that you didn’t care about what am I saying. Generally, you had a concentrate on the content. If the content is good, you definitely read it fully.

      So, we need to see in the place of audience or consumers. Then only, we will achieve.

6. Synergy

    In this topic, the author explains that if we had combined two or more works as one it will succeed. For example, in one town there were two businessmen. One of them had been selling ice cream and another person had been selling wafer biscuits. Their business wasn’t successful. One day, they had worked as a team and found a new product which was cone-ice cream. It had hit success. So, the author told that we need to find a combination of work.

7. Sharpen the saw

     We assume that cutting a tree, will take 6 hours. If we sharpen that saw for 3 hours, it will take less time to cut the tree. Totally, it may take 4 hours. We will save 2 hours when compared to the normal method.

   These all are the 7 habits of highly effective people. I will also be going to follow these habits regularly. When writing the 7^th habit of Sharpen the saw, one thought was popped up in my mind. It was that I took many hours for creating youtube videos. If I wrote content for my youtube video, I can finish and export my video faster. I compare content writing work with Sharpening saw and shooting and editing the videos with the cutting process of trees. I had an experience with it. When I wrote content for my video, it took less time. But, I created my latest video without content writing. It had taken a lot of time to shoot and edit that video. For that only, I said that I will also follow these habits regularly, you should follow these habits in your life. It will definitely play a major role.
