I'm starting to believe in these seven habits, as taught by Stephen Covey:

1. Be proactive.
2. Begin with the end in mind.
3. Put first things first.
4. Think win-win.
5. Seek first to understand, then be understood.
6. Synergize.
7. Sharpen the saw.

I thought of number six while I was having an Oreo and a glass of milk. An oreo is good by itself, and so is a cold glass of milk. Put them together and you get something that is on a whole new plane of goodness.

If anyone has any experience with any of the seven habits, feel free to comment.
