The document summarizes the key principles from Stephen Covey's book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". It discusses the importance of having absolute principles like fairness and integrity. It also explains the difference between personality traits and character traits, and how both are needed for long-term success. Additionally, it outlines Covey's maturity continuum from dependence to independence to interdependence. The seven habits that Covey proposes are also briefly introduced: be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek first to understand then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw.

I must take success for every one who desire success. for myself regardless the others. If I succeeded the others should fail. If They succeeded I would fail too. Life is a zero game. I can succeed as the others can too. Life is cooperative.

Principles of Empathic Communication Fifth level: Empathic listening (most effective level): • Requires high levels of consideration • Deep understanding of the problem first • Requires more than practicing listening techniques • It’s listening with intent to understand (changing our perceptions).

- 48. Value the differences Synergy encourages people to respect differences between them, and see them as opportunities for learning. The differing opinions of others and their viewpoints, perspectives, talents and gifts are valuable when seeking solutions. These differences enable you to discover and produce things together that you would much less likely discover and produce individually
