Axioms to practice

From “Seven Habits of Highly Efficient People”


Few weeks ago read a book called “Seven Habits of Highly Efficiency People”, which has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. In chapter 2 it suggests that we should all draft our own constitution as the highest guidelines for oneself.

A personal mission statement based on correct principles becomes the same kind of standard for an individual. It becomes a personal constitution, the basis for making major, life-directing decisions, the basis for making daily decisions in the midst of the circumstances and emotions that affect our lives. It empowers individuals with the same timeless strength in the midst of change.
… With a mission statement, we can flow with changes. We don’t need prejudgments or prejudices. We don’t need to figure out everything else in life, to stereotype and categorize everything and everybody in order to accommodate reality.
… Once you have that sense of mission, you have the essence of your own proactivity. You have the vision and the values which direct your life. You have the basic direction from which you set your long- and short-term goals. You have the power of a written constitution based on correct principles, against which every decision concerning the most effective use of your time, your talents, and your energies can be effectively measured.

Which I agree very much. So just tempt to write my axioms:

  1. Stay organized with things, with thoughts, and self-reflect from time to time.
  2. 仁, Trust.
  3. Explore and exploit every possibilities.
    Judge after think.
  4. Family, Love, Friendship.
  5. Future is non-deterministic.
    Build with effort.
  6. Unfollow dogma, authority, tradition.
    Follow rationality.
  7. Insulate from outside.
    Force from inside.
  8. Play.
