It must be the tunes from the my mum’s car speaker when I was 8… the same song which kept ringing in my ears for many years during my childhood before it faded away.. until a couple years back when I was trying to recall the 80s hits which I used to listen before. You know that instant when you really want to recall the name of the song and its artist but can’t do much? You don’t know the name of the song…you obviously don’t know then ..who was the artist. And heyya.. if you’re lucky enough to recall the chorus, or any part of the lyrics, get creative and Google them up ! I was so excited when I FINALLY ”found” the song I’ve been looking for ! It’s called “Baby Come To Me”, by Patti Austin and James Ingram. who performed the original version.Written by Rod Temperton and produced by Quincy Jones. If you have not heard of this song, or Patti Austin , the R&B and jazz queen. Patti, I love ya !
Sing along now !!!! 
Thinkin’ back in time
When love was only in the mind
I realize
Ain’t no second chance
You got to hold on to romance
Don’t let it slide
There’s a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
‘Cause I can’t go back to living without you
Spendin’ every dime
To keep you talkin’ on the line
That’s how it was
And all those walks together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There’s a brand new way of looking at your life
When you know that love is standing by your side
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
‘Cause I can’t go back to living without you
The night can be cold
There’s a chill to every evening when you’re all alone
Don’t talk anymore
‘Cause you know that I’ll be here to keep you warm
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
Come to me
This was meant to be
Need you everyday
Baby always stay
I can’t go back to living without you
Without you
Without you

Did an hour revision with my course mate after dinner ,and the rest of the night I’ve been wasting my time doing nothing…bad..! OK…GOOD NITE world.. Better day tomorrow insyaAllah
The jumping escapade with Chekdet and Ammar
This is the ability to control one’s environment, rather than have it control you, as is so often the case. Self determination, choice, and the power to decide response to stimulus, conditions and circumstances
Covey calls this the habit of personal leadership – leading oneself that is, towards what you consider your aims. By developing the habit of concentrating on relevant activities you will build a platform to avoid distractions and become more productive and successful.
Covey calls this the habit of personal management. This is about organising and implementing activities in line with the aims established in habit 2. Covey says that habit 2 is the first, or mental creation; habit 3 is the second, or physical creation. (See the section on time management.)
Covey calls this the habit of interpersonal leadership, necessary because achievements are largely dependent on co-operative efforts with others. He says that win-win is based on the assumption that there is plenty for everyone, and that success follows a co-operative approach more naturally than the confrontation of win-or-lose.
One of the great maxims of the modern age. This is Covey’s habit of communication, and it’s extremely powerful. Covey helps to explain this in his simple analogy ‘diagnose before you prescribe’. Simple and effective, and essential for developing and maintaining positive relationships in all aspects of life. (See the associated sections on Empathy, Transactional Analysis, and the Johari Window.)
Covey says this is the habit of creative co-operation – the principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, which implicitly lays down the challenge to see the good and potential in the other person’s contribution.
This is the habit of self renewal, says Covey, and it necessarily surrounds all the other habits, enabling and encouraging them to happen and grow. Covey interprets the self into four parts: the spiritual, mental, physical and the social/emotional, which all need feeding and developing.
Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits are a simple set of rules for life – inter-related and synergistic, and yet each one powerful and worthy of adopting and following in its own right. For many people, reading Covey’s work, or listening to him speak, literally changes their lives. This is powerful stuff indeed and highly recommended.
This 7 Habits summary is just a brief overview – the full work is fascinating, comprehensive, and thoroughly uplifting. Read the book, or listen to the full tape series if you can get hold of it.
In his more recent book ‘The 8th Habit’, Stephen Covey introduced (logically) an the eighth habit, which deals with personal fulfilment and helping others to achieve fulfilment too. The book also focuses on leadership. Time will tell whether the The 8th Habit achieves recognition and reputation close to Covey’s classic original 7 Habits work.

I found this article while searching for some articles on for my class assignment and was intrigued by the 7 habits suggested and forwarded by Stephen Covey. In life, we never stop searching even we have , at a point of time found what we’re looking for. We search because we want to learn, and we learn because only through learning process we can change, for the better of course. It is always self-reflection every time I write or share something here on this blog. How I can benefit from it. So here, I gotta be more pro-active ; participate, and shred off any passiveness , begin with the end in the mind; goals, goals, goals… put 1st things 1st.. i gotta be more organized and stop procrastinating !!!! think win-win ; benefit myself and others. seek firs to understand then to be understood ; knowledge and getting my facts correct is always important.. the think tank can’t be empty ! sharpen the saw ; there is always room for improvement and betterment in the various facets of my life.. so jewelz, do yer best !!!
Stop procrastinating. Be positive. Small steps is better than 1 giant leap..!!
The dreaded word. The contagious mind disease. I am in a battle, of my own. Taking 1 step at a time to combat this insanity. It’s been too long that Ive been suffering its time to free myself. I will not try. But I will, make it happen. Clinching that awaited victory over my worst enemy. I can , I can , and I will make sure I continue to psych myself for the good, for the better. Say NO to procrastination.
say NO to Procrastination !
