Lessons Learnt From Essentialism By Greg Mckeown
While teaching in one of the Top 10 MBA Colleges in Hyderabad, we recommend students to read many books. One such book is Essentialism - The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. Once out of the MBA college in Hyderabad, you will be faced with a lot of challenges and this book has important lessons that would help you some with some of the hurdles of life at the same time setting you on the path to success. Below are three lessons you must learn from this book and adapt in your life: Lesson 1 - The Power Of NO u201cu2026Either We Can Say No And Regret It For A Few Minutes, Or We Can Say Yes And Regret It For Days, Weeks, Months, Or Even Years.u201d t All our life, we struggle to say this small yet powerful two letter word. What is it that refrains you from saying NO? For many people, their caution to not hurt anybody makes them unable to say no to people but doing this can have dire consequences. Lesson 2 - You Are The Major Asset You Have u201cThe Best Asset We Have For Making A Contribution To The World Is Ourselves. If We Underinvest In Ourselves, And By That I Mean Our Minds, Our Bodies, Our Spirits, We Damage The Very Tool We Need To Make Our Highest Contribution.u201d Lesson 3 - Routine Is A Powerful Tool Greg McKeown says on this experiment, u201cIf simply being treated in a different way conditioned these Stanford students to gradually adopt these negative behaviors, could the same kind of conditioning work for more positive behaviors?u201d Treat others the way you want to be treated.u201d It is totally up to us where we decide to channel our energies.
