Seven habits for successful people(a Hokkien prospective)

 Got the following ariticle from a friend, which is very interesting. It will be such a waste if I don't share it.
You might have read or heard of  Steven Covery's famous 7 habits for successful people.

They are nothing more than a free adaptation of very common Hokkien phrase.  Wonder if he got inspired mixing with hokkien people?


So why pay thousands of dollars to attend talks when your grand-parents, parents, spouses and even the auntie who sweeps the floor can give you the same kind of advice FOC, everyday? 

Habit No 1: Be Pro-Active
Kin Ka Kin Chiew
( Fast leg, fast hand )

Habit No 2: Sharpen the Saw
Toh Bua Lai Lai
( Make the knife sharp )

Habit No 3: Begin with the End In Mind
Ooh Tao Ooh Buay
( Have head, have tail )

Habit No 4: First Things First
Chik Hung Chik Hung Lai - Ban Ban Lai
( One thing at a time, slow and steady ); or
Cho Tow Seng ( Do first ; talk later )

Habit No 5: Think Win-Win
Long Chong Ai Yarh
( Must win everything )
This is definitely not thinking win-win. This is a zero sum game. Win everything!

Habit No 6: Seek To Understand Rather Than To Be Understood
Cho Lang Ai Eh Beng Pek
( You must be understanding )

Habit No 7: Synergize
Tai Kay Ai Hup Chop
( All must cooperate )
