One of Stephen Covey’s favourite tricks, described in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, was to imagine his own funeral. He would think about the flowers, the faces of the bereaved and the eulogies in order to help instil his habit #2: Begin with the end in mind.
斯蒂芬·柯维(Stephen Covey)在他的《高效能人士的七个习惯》(The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)一书中描述了自己最喜欢的一种把戏:想象自己的葬礼。他会想到鲜花、亲人的面庞和悼词,这是为了帮助养成他的第二个习惯:以终为始。
For Covey, who died this week aged 79, the funeral scene is about to be played out for real. The chances are that it will be to his liking.
对于在今年7月16日辞世、享年79岁的柯维而言,这个葬礼场景变成了现实。这场葬礼大概会让他感到满意。
Already, the eulogies are flowing in from rival management gurus: Tom Peters has likened him to Nelson Mandela while Clayton Christensen – a fellow Mormon – has said that Covey changed his life. He told a story about how Covey, when at Harvard Business School, shunned the bar-room and went instead to Boston Common with a soap box, which he climbed on to and gave a jolly good sermon about the life of Jesus Christ.
同行的管理大师们纷纷发表了悼词。汤姆·彼得斯(Tom Peters)把他比作纳尔逊·曼德拉(Nelson Mandela)。同为摩门教徒的克莱顿·克里斯坦森(Clayton Christensen)表示,柯维改变了他的人生。他讲起了柯维的一件事,当时还在哈佛商学院(Harvard Business School)攻读的柯维没有去酒吧,而是拿着一个肥皂箱去了波士顿公园(Boston Common),他爬上这个肥皂箱,就耶稣基督的生平发表了一席非常精彩的布道演说。
