7 Habits

Since we had a long weekend, today you get three days worth of Steven Covey's pearls of wisdom from his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

• "Where we stand depends on where we sit."
• Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are--or, as we are conditioned to see it.
• When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms.
