"The Seven Habits"

Ao ler hoje um texto de uma Conferência sobre Gestão do Tempo, dada por Randy Pausch, o Professor que deu a célebre Última Aula, achei importante divulgar duas das citações por ele extraídas de Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits", que contribuem para a nossa qualidade de vida. Aqui vão, mesmo em inglês:

1. BE PROACTIVE. Between stimulus and response in human beings lies the power to choose. Productivity, then, means that we are solely responsible for what happens in our lives. No fair blaming anyone or anything else.
2. BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND. Imagine your funeral and listen to what you would like the eulogists to say about you. This should reveal exactly what matters most to you in your life. Use this frame of reference to make all your day-to-day decisions so that you are working toward your most meaningful life goals.
