My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

I've just been through a week of:

"Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People"

Talking to others who have done the course it is oft nicknamed the: "I'm quitting course" because while preaching "work life balance" everyone sits there and re-evaluates their life and decides their work-life balance is not working in their favour - so they pack and leave. Notwithstanding, I thought it was reasonably well structured and would be even more helpful if you've the life skills of a drunken monkey.

1. Be proactive (aka - get off your arse and do something about it shithead and stop whinging you bitch!)
2. Begin with the end in mind (aka - try and think about what the fuck you're meant to be doing before starting!)
3. Put first things first (aka - try and think about what the fuck you're meant to be doing before starting!)
4. Think Win-Win (aka - try and sucker your enemies into having them think that you're doing what is best for them)
5. Think first to understand, then to be understood (aka - shut the fuck up and listen before puting your foot in your mouth shitforbrains!)
6. Synergise (aka - work together in peace, love and harmony for the greater good of man because deep down inside we're all peace loving hippies. Make love not war!)
7. Sharpen the saw (aka - make sure that the axe you're wielding is sharp for a quick kill for those who do not understand habits 1 through to 5. Hopefully after you have taken care of the inconsiderate fuckers with your sharpened instrument - it is then dull enough to prolong the pain when you're killing the peace loving hippies practicing habit 6.)

I feel exhausted after pretending to care about what others think for an entire week. Luckily, I was not the only one feeling the pressure of pretending to care as demonstrated by our group exercise on the final day.

Stephen Covey would call it: "Falling back into old habits of W/L"

Adam would call it: "A motherfucking blood bath that ended in tears!"

BUT I am known to exaggerate occasionally, and truthfully, there was no blood spilled, however, it was mighty mean and nasty to the point of tears - i was actually shocked, and very amused, at how quickly everyone turned when put into the situation.

That's a week and $50,000 well spent for the company I say.
