The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People? Pshh. That’s so 80s. There’s another, albeit highly unlikely, source I think you could learn a whole lot more from.

Yep, I’m talking about zombies. They might not be pretty to look at, but there’s no denying that they’re still some of the most effective used-to-be people around.

What? All this time you callously thought zombies were good for nothing more than your entertainment, didn’t you?

You laughed as they tore apart your least-favorite movie character, cried as they successfully took a bite of your celebrity crush, and cheered as your beloved book protagonist narrowly escaped their clumsy clutches.

But did you ever stop to think that zombies could actually teach you something?

Zombies may not have feelings too, but they are quite savvy when it comes to getting what they want. Decaying flesh and rotting teeth aside, there’s a lot we can learn from the undead.

Habit 1: Be Relentlessly Confident

Can you imagine how strange it would be to see an insecure, self-doubting zombie?
