Habit 6 - Synergy. Without doubt, one of the most abused words in the English language and I'm not sure how often I've experienced the real thing myself. But, wow, what a thing to aim for ...

Habit 5 - Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood. This chapter is surely one of the greatest pieces on communication ever written.

Love this quote! "Integrity includes but goes beyond honesty. Honesty is telling the truth - in other words, *conforming our words to reality*. Integrity is *conforming reality to our words* - in other words, keeping promises and fulfilling expectations. This requires an integrated character, a oneness, primarily with self but also with life."

Ah, Habit 3. I don't exactly use his methodology but the idea of Quadrant II activities must surely be considered one of the greatest of all time management theories.

Habit 1 - I must admit I do wish that everyone in the world would be made to read this chapter sometimes.

I haven't read this book for years - it impressed me back then but it's even more powerful now. The idea that our lives should be built around principles and not outward appearances is very important. But, sadly, I think we do value appearances more nowadays than actual character ... I hope I'm wrong.

Habit 4 is probably the trickiest chapter to read because it's about an attitude towards things rather than practical steps you can take. Also, the word Win/Win has been so abused by salespeople over the years that it can become difficult to take it seriously. But the idea of wanting to find solutions that help everybody rather than just one side is fantastic.
