I gave once chance too many. Too kind I have been. But it will not happen anymore, for I promise that I will change.
Been reading up some books this few days. Well, not really books but files and stuffs that I found online. I managed to grasp a bit of shakespeare's language or some will call it the "ancient language". It goes something like "Thy shall be bethou upon thou, thy master". Where "thy" actually stands for "I" and "thou" actually stands for you and. "Bethou(sp?)" actually means "forever in debt" if I am correct. :)
Nothing happens much last week. Had a very fun guy that came on tuesday and talked to us about building up reading habits during assembly, and Mrs Chin read the 7 habits of highly effective people. It's a self-improvement book by Stephen.R Covey. His son, Sean Covey actually wrote "7 Habits of highly effective teens" and "7 habits of highly effective children". Which was actually a copy of his father book but with difference in each book.
7 habits of highly effective people actually contains very profound english that not everyone can understand. "7 habits of highly effective teens" contains more story gathered from around the world, the language used is not as profound and easier to be understood. The book also contains a lot of examples and quotes from famous people like Shakespeare *part of why I went to read up on shakespeare* while "7 habits of highly effect children" basically contains more pictures for easier understanding.
The habits are as follows
1 - Be proactive
2 - Begin with the end in mind
3 - Put first things first
4 - Think win-win
5 - Seek first to understand, than to be understood
6 - Synergize
7 - Sharpen the saw
Currently, I am reading habit 5 but I am still struggling to do habit 1-4. But I have sort of "mastered" habit 1 and 2, and it have already improved me by leaps and bounds! :D
Going to stay over at new town secondary school later as the flagoff time for the OCBC cycling tomorrow is like 8am, and we have to rent our bike starting from 7am. Shall bring some of my homework there to complete :D
Shall post until here and continue next time~ Tata~
