The Seven Habits Of highly effective people Hany Magdy
The Character Ethic : primary traits Absolute principles that
exist in all human beings. Principles have universal application.
Techniques are only valid for specific situations . Examples of
such principles are fairness, honesty, integrity, human dignity,
equality, and justice.
Personality Ethic: secondary traits Personality Ethic are
secondary. Secondary traits may help one to play the game to
succeed in specific circumstances Ex. Skills, techniques,
maintaining a positive attitude, etc Long term success requires
both.
The Maturity Continuum we cooperate to achieve something that
Interdependence cannot be achieved independently. Independence we
make our decisions and take care of ourselves Dependence relying
upon others to take care of us
Paradigm Shift You could say: (half-full) OR (half-empty). Both
are right its only the perception. The way we see the problem is
the problem. Problems, at times, could be opportunities If you want
small change, work on your behavior; if you want quantum-leap
changes, work on your paradigms
Excellence Excellence is an art won by training and
habituation. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not
an act, but a habit
Interdependence Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood
Synergize PUBLIC VICTORY Think Win/Win Independence Put First

Principle of Personal Vision Dependence
The Final image To begin with the end in mind is to begin with
the image of the end of your life as the frame of reference by
which everything else is measured. We may be busy, we may be
efficient, but we will only be effective if we begin with the end
in mind.
Mission Statement A powerful document that expresses your
personal sense of purpose and meaning in life. It acts as a
governing constitution by which you evaluate decisions and choose
behaviors.

do not change. And principles are applied to all If they realize or
not. A principle-centered puts his values and principles higher
than emotions. Have balance between different alternate
centers.
3 Principle of Personal Management Independence Dependence
Two Factors to Define Any Activity Urgency - An activity is
urgent if you or others feel that it requires immediate attention.
Importance - An activity is importance if you personally find it
valuable, and if it contributes to your mission values, and
high-priority goals.

4 Principle of Mutual benefit Interdependence Independence
Dependence
Two different perceptions Scarcity Abundance Therere limited
opportunities. Limited Theres enough success for me and (amount) of
success. I must take success for every one who desire success. for
myself regardless the others. If I succeeded the others should
fail. If They succeeded I would fail too. Life is a zero game. I
can succeed as the others can too. Life is cooperative.
Six paradigms of human interactions
1. Win/Win Seeks for mutual benefit Sees life as cooperative,
not competitive Theres plenty for everybody Believes in the third
alternative Listens more, stays in communication longer, and
communicates with more courage.
2. Win/Lose People with this mindset are concerned with
themselves first and last. They want to win, others to lose. They
succeeds at the expense of the others. They are driven by
comparison, competition, position, and power. Have low trust of the
other people. Is the authoritarian approach.
3. Lose/Win They choose to lose and let others win. Show high
consideration for others, but lack the courage to express their
opinions. Strength from public acceptance. Theyre quick to please
or appease. Buries a lot of feelings.
4. Lose/Lose People who have a lose-lose paradigm are low on
courage and consideration. They envy and criticize others. They put
themselves and others down. Is the mindset of a highly dependent
person. Is a long-term result of a win-lose, lose-win, or win.
5. Win They are personally set on winning. Although they dont
necessarily want others to lose. They think independently in
interdependent situations, without sensitivity or awareness of
others. Is self-centered. Thinks me first. Has a Scarcity
Mentality.
6. WinWin or No deal Win-Win or No Deal is the highest form of
win-win. People who adopt this paradigm seek first for win-win. If
they cannot find an acceptable solution, they agree to disagree
agreeably. Allows each party to say no. They have high
consideration for others plus high courage to express their
opinions.
5 Interdependence Principle of Mutual Understanding
Independence Dependence
Four common levels for listening 1. Ignoring: Making no effort
to listen 2. Practice pretending: Making believe or giving the
appearance you are listening . 3. Practice selective listening:
Hearing only the parts of the conversation that interest you. 4.
Attentive listening: Paying attention and focusing on what the
speaker says, and comparing that to your own experiences.
Principles of Empathic Communication Fifth level: Empathic
listening (most effective level): Requires high levels of
consideration Deep understanding of the problem first Requires more
than practicing listening techniques Its listening with intent to
understand (changing our perceptions).
Then seek to be understood Requires high level of courage
Equally critical in reaching win/win solutions.
6 Interdependence Principle of Creative cooperation
Independence Dependence
Synergy Deeply understanding each other becomes the stepping
stones to synergy Synergy means that the whole is greater than the
sum of its parts One plus one equals three or more. (1+1 3)
Identifying a third synergistic alternative/solution that will be
better for everyone concerned.
Value the differences Synergy encourages people to respect
differences between them, and see them as opportunities for
learning. The differing opinions of others and their viewpoints,
perspectives, talents and gifts are valuable when seeking
solutions. These differences enable you to discover and produce
things together that you would much less likely discover and
produce individually
Levels of valuing the differences Celebrate Value Accept
Tolerate
What blocks synergy? Anger. Defensiveness. Jealousy. Ego.
Anxiety. Fixation. Fear.
7 Interdependence Principle of Renewal Independence
Dependence
Process of renewal Renewal is a daily process to refresh our
nature. Renewal is helping us to keep on track. Renewal needs time
to be assigned (in Q2). Renewal is considered as an investment in
ourselves.
The four dimensions of renewal PHYSICAL Exercise, Nutrition,
Stress Management SOCIAL Service, Empathy, Synergy, Intrinsic
Security MENTAL Reading, Visualizing, Planning, Writing SPIRITUAL
Value Clarification & Commitment, Study & Meditation
Physical renewal Care about your body by having good nutrition.
Have enough relaxation and sleep. Exercise regularly.
Spiritual renewal Spiritual dimension is the core of your
principles. And connects you with all absolute facts in life. You
should keep your prays, read Quran. Read inspiring books. Observe
the universe. Look to creatures. Leave all distractors.
Mental renewal Stop wasting time in TV movies. Watch
documentaries, learning shows. Choose what you watch. Read books .
Literature, history, science, self development, .etc. Write
dairies. Take notes. Write your thoughts.
Social (emotional) renewal Doesnt need special time. Make this
through your daily communication with people. Apply the public
victory habits. Deal Winwin. Understand your partner first. Accept
his difference and cooperate with him.
The Upward Spiral of Growth Success is a long journey, not a
destination A thousand-mile journey begins with the first step. And
can only be taken one step at a time.
