Business With Principles

This week I learned interesting things. I refreshed the concept of the 7 habits. The original book is The 7 Habits of High Effective People. I read a summary of it, but I have read The 7 Habits of High Effective Teenagers some years ago. This book helped me a lot. It has the same principles but stated in a funnier way.  It is great to refresh them. The first and for me the most important of the principles or habits is being proactive, which is I think the foundation of everything, because our will power can make us do anything we want and achieve any goal we set.

I pondered a lot from a speech by Gordon B Hinckley. He taught about being true to our faith, our God and our parents. It also reminded me that life is not just to be endured, but also to be enjoyed.

I learned about seeking for passion instead of money. That the best mindset is to want to change the world instead of just want lot of money. In that case we can find a way to change the world and the money will come. Sometimes it does not happen, but it is better that doing like lot of people who just go for money and do not get any.

There was a former CEO of HP that gave a great speech. She talked about constant learning and innovation. The time a company stop learning and innovating, it is the time that we can predict its failure in a short term future.
