Part one: Inside-out （p39-53)

Words

1. We can see a reality that is superseded by his limited perceptions -- a reality that is as critical for us to understand in our daily lives as it was for the captain in the fog.

If something is superseded by something newer, it is replaced because it has become old-fashioned or unacceptable.

Some hand craft products cannot be superseded by the machine.

2. In the words of Erich Fromm, an astute observer of the roots and fruits of the personality ethic.

精明的；敏锐的；If you describe someone as astute, you think they show an understanding of behaviour and situations, and are skilful at using this knowledge to their own advantage.

3. A child learns to turn over, to sit up, to crawl, and then to walk and run. Each step is important and each one takes time. No step can be skipped.

小孩子的一系列成长动作，翻身用turn over就好了，好实用。

4. The atmosphere in the room was really charged -- the children were crowding around my little daughter with their hands out, ...

charge当动词的时候有要价，冲锋，冲电，指控等意思，都有比较强列的意味，在这个句子里，charged是形容词，紧张的，引起强烈感情的；If a situation ischarged, it is filled with emotion and therefore very tense or exciting.

 highly charged atmosphere...高度紧张的气氛

5. The personality ethic tells me I could take some kind of dramatic action -- shake things up, make heads roll -- that would make my employees shape up and appreciate what they have.

shake something up: Fig.to reorganize a group or organization,not always in a gentle way. 一般新领导上任爱干这事。大幅调整组织人员架构

make head roll: To fire or dismiss several employees 让员工滚蛋 ，好形象

Summary

key terms: character, principle, 

一、进一步认识paradigm:

1. Our Paradigms are the way we “see” the world or circumstances -- not in terms of our visual sense of sight, but in terms of perceiving, understanding, and interpreting. Paradigms are inseparable from character. 

see the world看世界不是指用眼睛看，感知，理解、表达，paradigm与character（人性人格）是不可分割的，与认知、理解世界和环境相关。

2. And what we see is highly interrelated to what we are. We can't go very far to change our seeing without simultaneously changing our being, and vice versa.

我们所看到的与我们是什么样的人息息相关。不改本性走不远。

3. Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world. The power of a Paradigm Shift is the essential power of quantum change, whether that shift is an instantaneous or a slow and deliberate process.

我们通过paradigms这个镜片看世界。paradigm shift是我们飞跃质变的源动力.

二、认识principle:

1. principle和Paradigm有什么关系？

从灯塔的故事我们可以比较容易得到案答：当你知道某个事物是不能改变的事实时（比如你知道前面不是灯塔），而不是其它船只，你的paradigm会发生改变

The more closely our maps or paradigms are aligned with these principles or natural laws, the more accurate and functional they will be. Correct maps will infinitely impact our personal and interpersonal effectiveness far more than any amount of effort expended on changing our attitudes and behaviors.

paradigms与这些principles越一致, principles便愈精准备有效。

2. 什么是principle?

Principles are like lighthouses. They are natural laws that cannot be broken. As Cecil B. deMille observed of the principles contained in his monumental movie, The Ten Commandments, “It is impossible for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves against the law.

principles不能打破，需要改变的是我们。

3. principle有什么作用？

paradigms如地图，不是真正的地域，只是那个地域的绘图，是我们的主观事实。真正的地域是客观事实。你的主观事实，改变不了客观事实。

客观事实是由一系列的“灯塔”法则构成，principle法则决定了人类的成长和快乐。

4. principles有哪些？哪些不是principles？

 They are self-evident and can easily be validated by any individual. It's almost as if these principles or natural laws are part of the human condition, part of the human consciousness, part of the human conscience. They seem to exist in all human beings, regardless of social conditioning and loyalty to them, even though they might be submerged or numbed by conditions or disloyalty.

principles: fairness, integrity and honesty, human dignity, service, quality, potential

principles不是practices, values, 

5. 如何理解principles

Principles are guidelines for human conduct that are proven to have enduring, permanent value. They're fundamental. They're essentially unarguable because they are self-evident.

三、认识品格（character）及其重要性

人生没有捷径，personality ethics是违背自然法则(natural principals), 是捷径。 

If you want the secondary greatness of recognized talent,focused first on primary greatness of character.

如果你想让才华被赏识，那么先修练你的品格吧。

当人们看到别人成功时，总希望寻求捷径，但personality ethics也许可以让你在短时间里某些技能的提高，但是它不能解决根本的问题。

那么深层次的根本问题如何解决？

回答：We need a new level, a deeper level of thinking to solve these deep concerns.

我们新的思想高度来解决问题

四、the new level of thinking 是什么？

这本书就所讨论的主题就是the new level of thinking。

This new level of thinking is what Seven Habits of Highly Effective People is about. It's a principle-centered, character-based, “Inside-Out” approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness.

“Inside-Out” means to start first with self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self -- with your paradigms, your character, and your motives.

这本书中所讲的七大习惯早其实已经深入人心，符合一般人的良知和常识。但是若要使之行之有效，我们必须换个方式思考，改变我们的意识（paradigms)达到一个全新，更有深度的由内到外的高度。

To recognize and develop them and to use them in meeting our deepest concerns, we need to think differently, to shift our paradigms to a new, deeper, “Inside-Out” level。

Convey是个讲故事的高手，用故事帮助你理解晦涩的概念。比如这一章两个故事，一个地铁上无视自己失按孩子的父亲，让我瞬间懂了paradigm shift这一个概念；灯塔的故事让我瞬间懂了principle意味着什么。不但理解了这些概念，我还可以轻松地给别人复述这些概念。
