7 habits of HEPs

Desi Fun(da)

Due to some reasons that are still not clear we started talking about the book by Steven R. Covey titled "The 7 habits of highly effective people". Well it seems that the people who have read this book are highly impressed by it and especially the 7 habits that are listed in it.

Well to be frank I had seen this book at Heathrow airport while travelling back home and was about to buy the paperback because it seemed impressive and hey the chicks on the plane weren't going to start a conversation with me anytime soon and the 7 hour flight to Mumbai was a bit too much time for self-introspection. So well as I moved towards the counter what do I see in the just released section, but "The 8th habit of hight effective people".

What!! This dude may be a good writer and all but did he forget to read his own book? He sure as hell wasn't effective in putting down the list all 8 those single line sentences into one book. Now why would I want to read some advice from a jerk that himself proved, by releasing the second book, that he isn't effective at all. He has the gaul to release the second book and whats even worse"er" is that the damn publishers publised it and even worse"er" that people are buying and reading both ... come on people.

Ofcourse I haven't bought or read the book.
