我是好孩子。我昨天在乐天买了米和水，今天就在亚马逊买书了！
先说米-日本的米很好吃了，不过没有吃过米大将的童鞋，你们知道的好吃和我还有距离。上次买了一代无洗，一代要洗。无洗尤其的好吃。
于是昨天又去买了一代无洗，加一代7分玄米
再说水-我打去年就拥护contrex法国硬水，开始想念软水，觉得不能总自虐。于是定了一箱crystal water. 某阿尔贝斯的水哦。
至此，最近几个月的温饱问题解决了。不愁吃穿的我，也开始天天在反省为啥每天不能再做些更有意义的事。
今天，早上和tt聊天。在回顾了两个月前伟大的旅行后，欧开始忏悔最近的堕落。没有好好学习，每天泡网败家的同时假装惶惶不可终日，无可救药了。
被问及之前的宏伟大志执行得如何了时，偶诉说了偶的困扰，无奈，矛盾，彷徨。tt童鞋开始鼓励我smart enough拉have the right kind of talents拉。想转行是对德拉，feeling valuable is important啦。
以下是他游说我去做某测定：
i did some pretty interesting self-assessment type exercises in one of my classes this past semester，where we figured out and analyzed what we value most, what our talents were，where we figured out and analyzed what we value most, what our talents were.i just did this thing the other day which was really cool,part of the project that I’m doing over the summer.it’s called strengthfinder2.0.it’s an online questionaire.a bunch of quick answer scenario questions like, which ot these two statments describes you best and then at the end it spits out your 5 top talents and a personalized desciption for each one
and it is really good! mine was very accurate! seriously i was suprised i guess they don’t just have generic descriptions of each talent. but they customize it to you and your other answers and what makes you unique among the millions of people who have taken the test. Anyway it is really good. you should do it.
该童鞋说的超级准的Top 5 Themes如下：
Strategic
Responsibility
Includer
Ideation
Analytical
童鞋寄来分析结果还有一大堆评论详述，MS靠铺，那我也去测测我的八。
于是去亚马逊逛了逛。大蒜下蛋时想起前两天获得芥川奖提名的中国女作家，国人得奖一定要捧捧场。小日本这次很大方哦~~
又想起几个月前无意中看到原麻省某国人GG出的书，也打算去捧场。米国买十几刀日本要5000多，太黑了，回头去密国买吧。
继续寻寻觅觅找可以买的书，包括偶像的Nicole Richie Style. 哈哈，忍住。
最后犹豫要不要买《The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People》，wiki上就有现成的内容，抄来抄来，三联修在家看书学习，修炼修炼。
The Seven Habits
The chapters are dedicated to each of the habits, which are represented by the following imperatives:
- Be Proactive. Here, Covey emphasizes the original sense of the term "proactive" as coined by Victor Frankl. You can either be proactive or reactive when it comes to how you respond to certain things. When you are reactive, you blame other people and circumstances for obstacles or problems. Being proactive means taking responsibility for every aspect of your life. Initiative and taking action will then follow. Covey also shows how man is different from other animals in that he has self-consciousness. He has the ability to detach himself and observe his own self; think about his thoughts. He goes on to say how this attribute enables him: It gives him the power not to be affected by his circumstances. Covey talks about stimulus and response. Between stimulus and response, we have the power of free will to choose our response.
- Begin with the End In Mind. This chapter is about setting long-term goals based on "true north" principles. Covey recommends formulating a "personal vision statement" to document one’s perception of one’s own vision in life. He sees visualization as an important tool to develop this. He also deals with organizational vision statements, which he claims to be more effective if developed and supported by all members of an organization rather than prescribed.
- Put First Things First. Here, Covey describes a framework for prioritizing work that is aimed at short-term goals, at the expense of tasks that appear not to be urgent, but are in fact very important. Delegation is presented as an important part of time management. Successful delegation, according to Covey, focuses on results and benchmarks that are to be agreed upon in advance, rather than prescribed as detailed work plans.
- Think Win/Win describes an attitude whereby mutually beneficial solutions are sought that satisfy the needs of oneself, or, in the case of a conflict, both parties involved.
- Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood. Covey warns that giving out advice before having empathetically understood a person and their situation will likely result in rejection of that advice. Thoroughly reading out your own autobiography will decrease the chance of establishing a working communication.
- Synergize describes a way of working in teams. Apply effective problem solving. Apply collaborative decision making. Value differences. Build on divergent strengths. Leverage creative collaboration. Embrace and leverage innovation. It is put forth that when synergy is pursued as a habit, the result of the teamwork will exceed the sum of what each of the members could have achieved on their own. “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
- Sharpen the saw focuses on balanced self-satisfaction: Regain what Covey calls "production capability" by engaging in carefully selected recreational activities.
