(1)Our character, basically, is a mixture of our habits. "Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action,
reap a habit;________, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny (命运)," the maxim goes.
(2)Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are often unconscious patterns, they
constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
(3)As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, "Habits are like a cable. We weave a rope of it
everyday and soon it cannot be broken." I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I
know habits can be learned and unlearned. But we also know it isn"t a quick fix. It involves a process
and a tremendous effort.
(4)Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as we saw the first men
walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts had to break out of the
tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first
few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles.
(5)Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit.
Breaking deeply developed habitual tendencies such as procrastination(拖延) , impatience, criticalness,
or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower
and a few minor changes in our lives. "Lift off" takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the
gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new situation.
(6)Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our
habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps
our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force,
and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish
effectiveness in our lives.

all the time in order to judge whether we"re doing a good
job for our customers, having positive vendor(小贩)
relationships, and dealing with our peers(同辈人)and
those around us.
Respect: Have you been respectful to whomever
you"re dealing with whether it"s a customer, peer, or a
vendor? And we define respect not as a respect for a
superior, but a respect for someone because they walk on
this planet with you. And you give them respect equally as
you would do.
Respond:Have you been responsive to the needs of
your customer or the person you"re dealing with? Many
people say "You didn"t react fast enough"and I actually
don"t agree with that philosophy. I think it"s more that
you"re not responding fast enough.
Reacting is a very emotional thing. Responding to
somebody involves thinking about what you"re doing so
you can help them. Responding implies that you"re
listening to what they want and what they"re saying, and
you"re trying to find a solution for them.
Realistic:Have you been realistic about what you can
or cannot do? If somebody comes to us with an unrealistic
goal that they need fulfill (完成), then we need to
immediately tell them that we can"t do it. We will ruin our
own reputation(名誉) through over promising.
Responsibility: It"s easy for one person to take
responsibility, but it"s difficult in an organization where
each person has a job to do and different people are
shepherding that project. Everybody has to go into it with
the philosophy that this is my project and I own it
collectively(共同地) with everybody else, but I"m going to
make it a personal responsibility when this thing succeeds.
Remembered:When you walk away from a situation
with a customer, vendor, peer, or anyone in your
organization, are you going to be remembered positively?
And if you have done all of the other four R"s, I think you
are going to be remembered positively.
