Today,Here I would like to share with you that Stephen Covey's famous 7 habits for effective people are nothing more than a "free adaptation" of Hokkien phrases.
So why pay hundreds/thousands of Ringgit to listen to ang-mors like him when your parents, husband/wife, or even the auntie-auntie and ah mah, can give you that kind of advice every day?
Don't believe what I say? Please read it below if you understand hokkien language.
Habit No 1: Be Pro-Active
Kin Chiew Kin Ka (fast hand, fast leg)
Habit No 2: Begin with the End In Mind
Ooh Tao Ooh Buay (have head, have tail)
Habit No 3: First Things First
Chik poh Chik poh Lai,Ban Ban Lai
(One thing at a time, slow and steady); or
Cho Tow Seng (do first)
Habit No 4: Think Win-Win
Long Chong Ai Yarh (want to win in everything)
Habit No 5: Seek To Understand Rather Than To Be Understood
Cho Lang Ai Eh Beng Pek (you must be understanding)
