"The seven habits of highly effective people" (The seven habits of highly effective people), Stephen Covey's classic, sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide, first published: 1989. I had just graduated when I was reading this book and I was still working in a communications company. It was recommended to me by the department leader. Now, I want to try to recommend the "seven habits of high-performance runners" that I understand.
Stephen Covey puts forward the idea that "full success is true success" in the book. The book enumerates seven criteria for achieving "overall success", the essence of which is the spiritual growth process of human beings "from dependence to independence, and from independence to mutual dependence". The "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" emphasizes the principle-centered, moral-based, "inside-out" practice that can achieve personal and interpersonal effectiveness.
And now, I found that for the running sport I love, these seven habits can also be applied to achieve a long-term effect of gaining running power. Running has a similar logic. From confusion to independence, from self-strength to group altruism, along this route, you can get long-term running motivation and let your "good heart" stay with you throughout your life.

Being proactive means taking the initiative, taking responsibility for your past, present and future actions, and making decisions based on principles and values rather than emotions and external environment. Active people are the agents of change. They give up the role of passive victims, do not feel inferior, do not complain, and carry forward the four unique endowments of mankind: self-knowledge, conscience, imagination, and voluntary will. They are proactive and act from within. External ways to create change.
Interpretation of running: The road to running is high and full of hardships, bright and full of hardship, and positive facing is always through. We get up before dawn, run in heavy rain, do not fear the severe cold and heat, and choose not to shrink in the harsh environment. This kind of action interacts with our consciousness and makes you stronger.
From then on, you will know the truth "There are always more solutions than problems." Being proactive is the source of high-performance runners. And running again and again deepens the feeling of "I can do it". Good runners are positive, and those who make complaints at every turn, need nanny care, or think that running is just so great are not real runners.
Everything is created twice, first brewing in the mind, and secondly creating the substance. When individuals, families, teams and organizations make any plan, they first draw up their vision and goals, and shape the future accordingly, focusing on the principles, values, relationships and goals that they value most. The core of leadership is to create a culture based on a shared mission, vision and values.
Running interpretation: For runners, starting with the end is goal-oriented and pushing your training backwards. Good actions must have goals, and good runners are never blind. For example, if you want to challenge the full marathon within 6 months, you must reverse your training plan and use it to organize your life.
A fitness plan for a lifetime,It is as small as an event that simulates the process of competition strategy from your mind. This repeated training is of great benefit. You will gradually form a good habit. It is more reliable to add time nodes and standard nodes to your actions. Without goals, there will be no evaluation of training effects. Think clearly about the purpose of the current stage and break down your actions, and you will get a very good execution. Promoting large projects in a planned way is the natural thinking logic of efficient runners.
Important things are the creation of substance, the organization and timing of dreams (your goals, visions, values and processing order of important things). Minor things need not be placed first, and important things cannot be placed second. Regardless of the urgency, individuals and organizations are focused on the important things. The point is to put the important things first.
Interpretation of running: The first thing for runners, is to take the key aspects of running as a project, as a "do not sleep today" Important and urgent things to do. In fact, for decades of life, health reserve is definitely an "important and not urgent" life event.
The most important thing is that for runners, no matter how busy you are, you must schedule your training time for a day or week. When you feel that it is important to run three days a week, your running, health and mental efficiency will be greatly improved. Runners who start working hard just before the race are not efficient runners.
Habit 4: Win-win thinking
Win-win thinking is a thinking framework and mind based on mutual respect and seeking reciprocity, the purpose is to strive for better Abundant opportunities, wealth and resources, rather than life and death hostile competition. Win-win is neither at the expense of others (winning or losing), nor at the expense of others (winning or losing).
Work partners or family members have to think about the problem from the perspective of mutual dependence ('we' instead of'me'). While the win-win thinking encourages us to solve problems, it also asks to help each other find a mutually beneficial solution. It is a sharing of information, strength, recognition and rewards.
Running Interpretation: Win-win thinking does not have much in common in running, but in my opinion, this should correspond to "It’s better to have fun alone. Happy"-running well on your own is not as good as a group of people exerting collective strength.
For example, you can run very fast by yourself, but when you reach a certain level and cannot break through, do you want to continue running? Most people will change from self-growth running to multi-win and altruistic running. For example, Leopard Brother made the secret Baima in Yunnan to promote more people to run and promote his hometown. When there are more altruistic behaviors in running, you will get a greater sense of accomplishment and lasting motivation.
五知
When we abandon our anxieties and listen to others with compassion, we can open up real communication and increase mutual understanding. After the other party gains understanding, they will feel respected and recognized, and then they will let go of their guards and face it frankly. The mutual understanding between the two parties will be smoother and more natural. Each other needs kindness; confidant needs courage and balance, which can greatly improve the efficiency of communication.
Running Interpretation: Knowing oneself and oneself This article is about communication, and for runningIn other words, it is diversified growth. Knowing yourself and the enemy in the game is easier to gain competitive strategic advantage. Spreading the knowledge of yourself and the enemy in the running culture is more conducive to "using words that the other party can understand" to gain recognition. For some cultural differences and even international cultural exchanges, only by looking at the other side's perspective can we have a deeper understanding and growth.
Running culture is diversified. Only by understanding the value and persistence of different people can you gain a greater mind. When we can understand the feelings of people who run slowly, people who run fast, people who run far, the feelings of injured people, the feelings of desperate Saburo, the feelings of people who do public welfare, and those who do business The feeling... Running must be more fun and peaceful for you. Most quarrels in the world come from prejudice. It is also very common in running circles.
Habit 6: Integrated Synergy
Integrated Synergy talks about creating a third option, neither in my way, nor Instead of following your own way, take a third approach that far exceeds personal opinion. This is the result of mutual respect—not only mutual understanding, but even praise and appreciation of each other's wisdom in solving problems and grasping opportunities.
The strength of the individual is the basis for the integration of the team and the family, which can make the overall effect of 1+1>2. The interpersonal relationship and team that practice integration and synergy will abandon the hostile attitude (1+1=1/2), do not aim at compromise (1+1=1 or 1/2), and not only stop at cooperation (1+1) =2), the pursuit is creative cooperation (1+1=3 or more).
Interpretation of running: The integrated synergy may not have much to do with personal running, but if you happen to be working in the sports industry, this point is very valuable for reference. Put it on the Internet In the age, the easiest thing to understand is to cross-border, and one step further is the integration of resources.
For example, domestic marathon photo services are now free, and sponsors add watermark ads instead of paying the bill. This similar "resource integration and each need" model has penetrated into all aspects of business. It should also be unimaginable at the time by Stephen Covey. The industrial chain of the running industry is intricate, and this kind of large integration of resources is most deeply reflected in the competition. Any good event is the result of integration and synergy. It is also worthy of exchange and research.
Constantly update to talk about how to constantly update oneself in the four life aspects (physiology, society, emotion, mind and soul). This habit improves the efficiency of the implementation of the other six habits. As far as individuals and organizations are concerned, continuous renewal and continuous improvement will prevent them from showing aging and fatigue, and move towards a new growth path.
Running Interpretation: is constantly updated and very easy to understand. In competitive sports, higher, faster and stronger are familiar, but this is not enough. Runners constantly update their goals and strive for advancement. This process runs through the whole life of a runner and is also a source of continuous motivation for running.
is constantly updated. For quality management, it is PDCA, for Internet software, it is version iteration, for business, it is wind rotation, and for dynasties, it is the rise and fall... For individuals, it is from small to weak. From Xiaoqiang to Daqiang to Thanos... the process of constantly upgrading and killing monsters seems simple, and it is indeed the essence of maintaining lasting momentum in anything.
