Intro⠀
Hello, guys, this is all about how to create good habits by changing our previous bad habit. Because habits are not created they are changed. Like some people get satisfaction by watching Netflix while others get the same satisfaction by reading books.⠀
⠀
Main part⠀
⠀
🌹This book revolves around three things habit of individual, organization, and society. ⠀
⠀
🌹Habits of these are formed by three steps⠀
1) Cue = An instinct or urge ( like the feeling when we see chocolate)⠀
⠀
2) Routine = Doing action on that urge ( Eating it )⠀
⠀
3) Reward = feeling after eating it ( feeling satisfy )⠀ By these three steps, any habit is formed.⠀
⠀
🌹It can be changed only if the routine is changed like eating chocolate to eating salad or fruit. ⠀
And this is shown in the book in detail.⠀
⠀
🌹Views⠀
It's a good read. The book includes stories of Michael Phelps, Howard Schultz, Martin Luther King. ⠀
If you are struggling with any bad habits and want to change it then it is a must and basis book to read.
Many people in today's time have the ability, intelligence and knowledge to be best in whatever work they are doing but the only thing they don't have is a right attitude and self-esteem which are very critical for success
So guys this is the right time to develop a perfect attitude like one person can see this quarantine and blame China or the government for such things, and others can take this as a God blessing and start doing their side business or working on their passion.
So attitude is a must in whatever you do and this book will help you to build a perfect attitude.
Some important point you will learn in this book are as follows
A person can and will be successful with or without formal education if they have the 5
Cs:
♦ character
♦ commitment
♦ conviction
♦ courtesy
♦ courage
Common sense is
the ability to see things as they are and do them as they ought to be do
a person's character is not only judged by the company of people he or she keeps but
also by the company of people he or she avoids
Successful people don't do great things, they only do small things in a great way.
Ability will get you success, character
will keep you successful
nothing happens unless it is made to happen
The best insurance for tomorrow is a job well done today
The process of giving without having expectations or getting anything in return raises
one's self-esteem
it is better
to be alone than to be in bad company.
George Washington
No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.
Relationships based on talent and personality alone, without character, make life
miserable.
Some great quote from the book
Benjamin Franklin said, "When you are good to others, you are best to yourself."
The price of greatness is responsibility.
--Winston Church
When we serve our
customers, our families, our employers, and employees, we automatically win
Okay let's take a step back and ask a question about whatever you are doing now: job, college or dating can you tell yourself why you are doing what you are doing. Well if not then read this book which will surely help you discover you're why.
And your next question: Why is it important to find out why?
It is because of our brain. Do you know why you don't get up in Morning?
Why don't you stop smoking?
Why don't you stop procrastination?
It is because you don't have any reason to stop. I mean why would you? It is so fun to just sit and enjoy Netflix rather than go out and struggle. But without any struggle, you can't achieve success and without success you are nothing.
So this book will clear you're why because when you're why is clear you will know that if I don't become rich your entire family will suffer and the girl I am dating will no longer stay with me. This realization will never let you procrastinate in your life.
Another benefit of why is in business and sales. The author illustrated the value of the golden circle a concept which he introduces in the book. So here what it is
When people explain their business or pitch their clients they start with what they are doing then they show how they do this and rarely they tell why they are doing what they are doing
It sounds like this " We make great computers
they are beautifully designed, simple to use and user-friendly. Wanna buy one?"
This is the wrong way.
First, you need to tell your customer or investor why you are doing what you are doing then show how you will do that, and finally, what are you doing.
This will sound like this "Everything we do we believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently. The way we challenge the status quo is by making our product beautifully designed, simple to us. And we happen to make a great computer. Wanna buy one?
Feel the difference this is what separates Apple from other companies it is their mission statement. I hope you guys have understood the importance of Why. So whatever you do a career, business or dating always starts with WHY.
4) JRD tata ( Magic of Leadership)
