one of the best books I've read recently. A lazy person is nobody but me and the author's advise penetrated directly in my mind. I've copied every 55 methods in my notebook in order to reach one method per day.
For example, here are some of them:
If you are lazy then, ...
- ... don't be late. It bothers if y ou have to apologize as you arrive, and you and your partner will be spending the rest of the day feeling uncosy.
- ... book everything you need. Without a goal you'll be lost when you arrive at your destination.
- ... search from end to end before you try. For example if you lack of information about a restaurant where you want to offer your partner a good hospitality but the service is bad then it will bother both of you.
- ... read deeply a manual book when you buy a new electric equipment.
- ... buy a new PC every 4 months. PC's capacity is filled easily and can slow down your work.
etc. ...
And here are the advise that seemed important and necessary for me:
- Listen to others instead of talking. Listening can bring you benefit, while by talking you can lose something.
- Don't insist on give-and-take stance. You'd be blind of what you really need in long-term, it takes away a room in your heart and destroy trust from others. To build trust, just contribute to the situation you need to solve or even to the others.
I'll try to keep them in mind each day but what I need badly now is to give up chocolate drinks at Starbucks everyday while reading...
Quiz-like questions that you solve yourself as part of training. After thinking carefully they are basic and simple, but which you might not realize in everyday life. They are sometimes easy that you can feel confident that your strategic thinking is alive.
