The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Day 1

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People embody many of the fundamental principles of human effectiveness. These habits are basic; they are primary. They represent the internalization of correct principles upon which enduring happiness and success are based.

一直以来对于这本书的理解都是如何提高工作效率，今天的阅读之后发现提高效率不仅仅是针对工作方面，对于个人的生活和人生都能有很大的作用。

Part One: Inside-Out 

【结束文字：our attitudes and behaviors flow.】

1. But inside, I'm eating my heart out.

内心的感受，嫉妒不快。

联想到cry your heart out, laugh your heart out， 常用 V + someone's heart out 来表达一种极致的情绪。

2. ···let alone do well on them.  更不用说

adv. much less

Synonyms: not to mention (vocabulary.com)

eg: The baby can't even walk, let alone run.

3. paradigm  典范，模范

A paradigm is a standard, perspective, or set of ideas. Aparadigmis a way of looking at something.(vocabulary.com)

Thoughts：

1. Personality Ethic & Character Ethic

前者是可以依赖交往技巧/假装出来的兴趣/口头上的言语（不是发自内心的想法）等与人交往、交际是短期建立关系可用的方法； 而在一段长期可持续发展的人际关系中，需要的是primary greatness and goodness in their character.

2. Map > behavior & attitude

"Each of us has many, many maps in our head, which can be divided into two main categories: maps of the way things are, or realities, and maps of the way things should be, or values. ··· we’re usually even unaware that we have them. We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be."

在付诸行动之前，首先需要一个对的方向，其次才是改变行为习惯和态度。往西边走才是目的地，开着车往北边走也到不了最开始的目标。但是对于我来说，和本书开始列举的问题一样，我没办法长期坚持下去，这是很大一个问题。

一点碎碎念：

效率不够高，看过去之后有些和没看一样，需要再去看一次。不过想想也是，不然为什么看这本书呢。。。

不会的单词很多，但基本上不影响阅读，常出现的词要记下来，看完后查一查记一记。

坚持了一天了，虽然写个小笔记都用了很长时间，但总归坚持下来了，明天加油。
