7 thói quen của bạn trẻ thành đạt
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey (summary, review). The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is one of the most influential books in self-development. It has always been one of my favorites and I definitely recommend reading it.
Habit 1 (0:00) : Be proactive.
Habit 2 (1:30) : Begin with the end in mind.
Habit 3 (2:19) : Put first things first.
Habit 4 (2:55) : Think win-win.
Habit 5 (3:54) : Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Habit 6 (4:33) : Synergize.
Habit 7 (5:10) : Sharpen the saw.
(2) Kẻ khôn luôn cố thấy những sai sót khuyết điểm của bản thân mình để điều chỉnh và phát triển. Còn kẻ ngu luôn tìm cách đổ lỗi cho tất cả mọi thứ quanh mình và sống mãi trong nghèo hèn!
(3) Kẻ khôn luôn muốn kết thân, học hỏi kẻ giàu có thành đạt hơn mình để mình tìm cách làm giàu. Còn kẻ ngu thì ganh ghét nguyền rủa và hãm hại ngay khi có thể những ai giàu có hơn mình, để mình mãi sống trong nghèo hèn!

On saying "no" via Seth Godin
If you're not proud of it, don't serve it.
If you can't do a good job, don't take it on.
If it's going to distract you from the work that truly matters, pass.
If you don't know why they want you to do this, ask.
If you need to hide it from your mom, reconsider.
If it benefits you but not the people you care about, decline.
If you're going along with the crowd, that's not enough.
If it creates a habit that costs you in the long run, don't start.
If it doesn't move you forward, hesitate then walk away.
The short run always seems urgent, and a moment where compromise feels appropriate. But in the long run, it's the good 'no's that we remember.
On the other hand, there's an imperative to say "yes." Say yes and build something that matters.

Who are we seeking to become? // Seth Godin
We get what we invest in. The time we spend comes back, with interest.
If you practice five minutes of new, difficult banjo music every day, you'll become a better banjo player. If you spend a little bit more time each day whining or feeling ashamed, that behavior will become part of you. The words you type, the people you hang with, the media you consume...
The difference between who you are now and who you were five years ago is largely due to how you've spent your time along the way.
The habits we groove become who we are, one minute at a time. A small thing, repeated, is not a small thing.
[And the same thing is true for brands, organizations and movements.]
