How Do We Become a Transitional Person?

Steven Eliason

Abstract

We are governed by our habits. Some of us become slaves to our habits. However, throughout our life we are forced to change our habits, and if we do change our habits to meet the challenge before us, we will become more effective in our dealing with others in both interpersonal and international contacts. Stephen R. Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People present insightful suggestions to become effective people. Although the book was written many years ago (1989), the suggestions offered by Covey are still valid and have proven effective.

Key words: Steven Covey, habits, effective people.

Absorbing Information and Knowledge from Others as Our Own

Around 25 years ago my brother-in-law introduced me to a book that had tremendously impacted him in his role at his family’s greeting card company business. When I returned home after several years of my social and religious work in the Philippines, reading a business-oriented book seemed like a refreshing change of pace from my long stay and work in the Philippines. I found the perspective and context of business effectiveness could be applied both personally and professionally. That book was Stephen R. Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Reading it again after so long surprised me; it contained ideas and principles which I believed, but which I had long forgotten the source. We all receive knowledge and information from as it becomes an integral part of our life, we may totally forget the original source which enlightened us!
