7 habits seems very excessive. Me, I don't even have one.

I'm writing a book entitled 'Seven habits of people who think that everything important comes in sevens.'

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

It seems to me that reading only the chapter titles should be one of the seven habits of successful people. But I'd be guessing.I.D.10-t wrote:I read the 7 chapter titles in the bookstore in 10 seconds. Any one that needs more elaboration than that is wasting their time.

Sooo....with all the critiquing, has anyone here actually read the book in question?
I feel inclined to speak up because I know Steve personally; he has a lot of really great advice for people, and it's not all just aplicable to the workplace.

actually - I took the "Seven Habits of Effective Leaders" 2 day class about 7 - 8 years ago. There's a LOT of good information, especially about figuring out what is REALLY a priority to you, personnally (instead of having others dictate to you what a priority is) and finding ways to achieve goals.
I also used a Franklin Planner for years (which is based on the Seven Habits) and taught my older son how to use one. I don't think he'd have gotten through high school without it.

at NCSU (I know, didn't make sense to me, either). It wasn't that bad,
I suppose. It certainly wasn't as fraught with marketspeak as, say,
Who Moved my Cheese. I think his advice on talking to teenagers is
pretty good, and "when negotiating, always keep in mind that failure
is a perfectly viable option" sort of stuff was interesting. But a lot of
the cynical engineers I knew hated it, and thought it was largely
obvious.

I don't know about that... I doubled in EE and Computer Eng. (whichFlyingcursor wrote:Electrical Engineering? Yikes. I was Computer Science. Much easier and less math.
included a lot of CSC classes), and I'm pretty sure the CSCs had
more math. The only thing EEs took above Calc was Differential
Equations. The CSCs had two Discrete Math-type courses (big-O
notation and proofs and all that), and some other Linear Math class.

The above mentioned classes (four quarters of Calc and one of Differential Equations) was the SOLE reason my degree is in Natural Science instead of Chemistry!!!fearfaoin wrote:The only thing EEs took above Calc was Differential

I have no problem doing math IN science, but I absolutely HATE taking math classes!!!
