Hokkien version of 7-Habits of Stephen Covey

[Nicky]

Steven Covey's famous 7 habits for successful people are nothing more than a free adaptation of Hokkien phrases. So why pay thousands to listen to 'ang-mos' like him when your parents, wives, husbands, and even the auntie-auntie who help us sweeps the floor, can give you that kind of advice everyday?

Habit No 1: Be Pro-Active
- Kin Ka Kin Chiew (fast leg, fast hand)

Habit No 2: Begin with the End In Mind
- Ooh Tao Ooh Buay (have head, have tail)

Habit No 3: First Things First
- Chik Hung Chik Hung Lai (one thing at a time);
Ban Ban Lai (slow and steady); Cho Tow Seng (do first)

Habit No 4: Think Win-Win
- Long Chong Ai Yarh (want to win in everything)

Habit No 5: Seek To Understand Rather Than To Be Understood
- Cho Lang Ai Beng Pek (you must be understanding)

Habit No 6: Synergize
- Tai Kay Ai Hup Cho (all must co-operate)

Habit No 7: Sharpen the Saw
- Toh Bua Lai Lai (sharpen the knife until it is very sharp)
