I got this email from my sister and I thought it is so funny...but the logic behind is true!
Subject: 7 habits of the highly effective man
Steven Covey's famous 7 habits for successful people are nothing more than a free adaptation of Hokkien phrases. So why pay thousands of dollars to listen to ang-mohs like him when your parents, wives, husbands, and even the auntie-auntie who sweeps the floor, can give you that kind of advice everyday?
Habit No 1: Be Pro-Active
-- Kin Ka Kin Chiew (fast leg, fast hand)
Habit No 2: Begin with the End In Mind
-- Ooh Tao Ooh Buay (have head,have tail)
Habit No 3: First Things First
-- Chik Hung Chik Hung Lai (one thing at a time);
Ban Ban Lai (slow and steady); Cho Tow Seng (do first)
Habit No 4: Think Win-Win
-- Long Chong Ai! Yarh (want to win in everything)
Habit No 5: Seek To Understand Rather Than To Be Understood
-- Cho Lang Ai Beng Pek (you must be understanding)
Habit No 6: Synergize
-- Tai Kay Ai Hup Chork (all must co-operate)
Habit No 7: Sharpen the Saw
-- Toh Bua Lai Lai (sharpen the knife until it is very sharp)
