7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Principles Cont.

Primary and Secondary Greatness:
Key Points:

  • Perhaps, in utilizing our human capacity to build on the foundation of generations before us, we have inadvertently become so focused on our own building that we have forgotten the foundation that holds it up; or reaping for so long where we have not sown, perhaps we have forgotten the need to sow.
  • There is no permanent foundation for success. To focus on your technique is like cramming your way through school. You sometimes get by, perhaps even get good grades, but if you don't pay the price day in and day out, you never achieve true mastery of the subjects you study or develop an educated mind.

Quotes:

  1. What you are shouts so loudly in my ears I cannot hear what you say.
  2. What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.
