也許每個職場人士都知道《The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - 高效能人士的7個習慣》這本書,但也許你不知道,這本書的作者還專門針對年幼孩子和中小學生,寫過另外兩本著名的書:《The 7 Habits of Happy Kids》和《The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens》
很多美國學校根據這兩本書的內容,給學生們畫了一個叫 7棵習慣樹 / The 7 Habits Tree -的海報,作為孩子們品格教育的參照綱領。
I am a responsible person. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes and moods. I do not blame others for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking.
I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my classroom and contribute to my school's mission and vision. I look ways to be a good citizen.
Put first things first - Work first, then play 做事分主次,先工作,後娛樂
I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized.
I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want. I make deposits in others' Emotional Bank Accounts. When conflicts arise, I look for third alternatives.
Seek first to understand, then to be understood 先去理解別人,再求被人理解
I listen to other people's ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints. I listen to others without interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas. I look people in the eyes when talking.
I value other people's strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people's ideas to solve problems because I know that by teaming with others we can create better solutions than anyone of us can alone. I am humble.
Sharpen the saw-Balance feels best 磨刀不誤砍柴工,尋求健康和平衡
I take care of my body eating right, exercising and getting sleep. I spend time with family and friends. I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school. I find meaningful ways to help others.
