Habits of Highly Effective People

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey:



Three categories of habits: 

A. Private Victory

1. Be Proactive

- reactive (receiving)  vs proactive (take responsible) people
- focus on the circle of influence ( what can you control? what can't you control what can you influence)
- put on things that you can control (don't upset on those you cant control)


2. Begin with the end in mind
- What would you like to remember? (?Friend, family, community)
- what is your mission statement?

3. Put first things first


* avoid putting quadrant 4 into quadrant 1/2/3 or wasting time in quadrant 4. 



B. Public Victory 

4. Think win: win




5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood
- for 1: 1
- practice listening, be empathy
- 5 active listening skills
        1. Be attentive
        2. Ask open-ended questions
        3. Ask follow-up questions
        4. Summarise the information
        5. Seek confirmation

6. Synergize
- the whole is better than sum of the parts
- observe how people do things -> later only express your way -> brainstorm
-  diversity of perspectives
- different people's brains work in different ways, find your suit way ( Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence:  interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic, musical, logical, naturalistic, existential, body-kinesthetic) 


C. Renewal

7. Sharpen the saw
- why don't you take a break to sharpen a saw?
- we need to take care of physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual needs (divide your time into those, plan ahead)

My NHS Interview Experience

-
I got two interviews.  I accepted one of the offers and I stop applying for jobs.  Congratulations to receive the job interview. An overview of NHS interview.   Usually, it starts with  introducing yourself (tell about your cv),  then clinical and ethics questions,  last Questions, and Answers.   Usually, each interview took 15-20mins time only .  You should be precise.  > Some interviews could email you beforehand and request you to prepare with a presentation/ teaching. Some interviews could be face to face.          *I received an invitation for an interview face to face. (February 2022, Covid restrictions is loosened now) Tips :  - Be alert on the time and be a safe doctor during the interview.  - Don't talk too much (too much over, like a shooting gun) in your CV - be precise and highlight your important achievement  <optional, they can read your CV, some said it sounds arrogant and...

UK Driving licence theory test and My note

-
This is my experience sharing, data collection, and personal note ( done on August 2022).  A. Office Website:  https://www.gov.uk/theory-test/revision-and-practice B. My experience as a Malaysian Driver I recommend studying for 2 weeks if you are working on sfhit.  Take the first weeks to study the book or question bank, then do the mock question bank.  If you are in rush and want to try to be fast, some people even say they can just study for 4 hours or 4 days. Intensive study for the last 1-2 days is strongly recommended.  I personally felt that the traffic law and rules in UK are much more complex than in Malaysia.  Why?  It involved different users like cyclists, pediatricians, cars, public transport, and ANIMAL (horse), which is not common in Malaysia traffic roads.  There are tram and puffin crossing too.  I used 4 in one apps, which cover driving theory tests and hazard perception.  Officially there are three books to read (refer ...

I spent  £ 376.20 for my health care worker visa ( shortage occupation list,  standard visa + early appointment). Price varies according to the number of years that you apply for and your country.  Generally, it can be divided into two parts. 1. Fill up the application + upload the documents 2.  Biometric  Appointment  This post aims for experience sharing.  Kindly refer to the official pages.  You are advised to read the guideline from the official pages.  I apply a visitor visa to turn into a skilled worker visa within the UK , after being granted permission from UKVI NHS. You can refer to my last post in  https://helenngjourney.blogspot.com/2022/02/nhs-worker-can-i-get-skilled-worker.html Step 1 : Read the official website.  You need to understand it before applying. From my understanding, Health worker visas are part of the skilled worker visa. As health care workers, we just apply for health care worker visas.  You can op...
