When Stephen Covey
first released The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, the book became an
instant rage because people suddenly got up and took notice that their lives
were headed off in the wrong direction; and more than that, they realized that there
were so many simple things they could do in order to navigate their life
correctly. This book was wonderful education for people, education in how to
live life effectively and get closer to the ideal of being a ‘success’ in life.

But
not everyone understands Stephen Covey’s model fully well, or maybe
there are some people who haven’t read it yet. This is definitely true
because we still see so much failure all around us. Now, I am not saying
that by using Covey’s model, or anyone else’s model for that matter,
you can become a sure-shot success, but at least we should have seen
many more successes around us already judging by the number of copies
the book has sold! So, where is the shortcoming?
There
are two main problems here, and we are talking only about the people
who have read the book already. The first problem is that most people
are too lazy to implement the ideals of Stephen Covey in their lives.
They consider his masterpiece of a book as a mere coffee-table book or a
book that you use for light reading when you are traveling and then
forget all about it. They do not realize that this book contains
life-changing information. Or, they take the information and do not make
the effort to actually utilize it so that it becomes knowledge for
them.

The
second problem is that a lot of people have a myopic view of Covey’s
ideals. These are people who are impressed by the book already. If you
ask them what the seven habits are, they can rattle them off end to end,
but then they miss the larger picture. They do not understand that
Covey was trying to tell more than he wrote in words. There are hidden
implications in this book, yes, and a lot of people have just failed to
see through them.

That
is what we are trying to do. We are trying to show you how Covey’s
book, or rather, his model, was a complete model in itself. There was
nothing amiss about it. If you implement it, there should be no aspect
of your life that should go untouched. The only thing is that you have
to understand these ideals and try to implement them in your life.

before we barge into that area, it is extremely important to understand what
these ideals are. What was the model that was propounded by Stephen Covey in
his mega-famous book? We shall begin by trying to understand his model first,
and then interpret it in such a way that it pertains to every aspect of our
life.
