Hello Friends  

Today I will give you the inside story of “THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE” by Stephen R. Covey.

In this book Stephen’s has elaborated, what is Paradigm and how can a paradigm shift will change our perspective, so please listen up till end.

Paradigm coined from Greek word, it’s the way we see the world. Not in terms of our visual sense, but in terms of perception, assumption & understanding.

Let me explain you through example: -

Suppose we want to go to some specific location in Central Chicago. Street map of the city would be great helpful to us to reach the destination.

But suppose we got the wrong map, due to printing error and on the label, instead of Chicago it was printed Detroit. Can we imagine the frustration, the ineffectiveness of trying to reach the destination?

In today’s world everybody has many maps in their head, and basically it is divided into two main Categories: -

1. Maps of the way things are, as we see in reality. And

2. Maps of the way things should be.

So we must take the responsibility and must aware of our basic Paradigms, test them against reality, listen to others and be open to their perceptions, there by getting a larger picture and a far more objective view.

Great Egyptian Astronomer named Ptolemy said that the earth was the center of the Universe.

But Copernicus created a Paradigm shift by placing the Sun in the center, after his discovery everything took on a different interpretation.

Similarly, in every century we got various paradigm shift like, Newtonian model of physics, which is still the basis of modern engineering.

Einstein paradigm through relativity.

The United States today is the fruit of a Paradigm Shift. Traditional concept for centuries of Monarchy by Divine right of Kings.

Then a different paradigm was developed -government of the people, by the people, and for the people, in which people has the right to select the government.

And we can say it was the beginning of Democracy.
