Life in Germany - Metzingen & Stuttgart

Yesterday Aug 14, I joined my finance team shopping at Metzingen & Stuttgart.

I bought branded bags, wallets, shirts, belts, perfumes and lipsticks.

Spent Euro 228.10 on that day.

Today is my rest day.
Morning as usual, I woke up early.
After my shower, I watched TV program and went for breakfast at the caferia.

Back to my room and read the book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", by Stephen R. Covey.
It's a remarkable book about the human condition, so elegantly written, so understanding of our embedded concerns, so useful for our organizational and personal lives, that it is going to be my gift to everyone I know.

The 7 Habits are keys to success for people in all walks of life.
I found this book stimulating and thought-provoking.

In all of life, there are sequential stages of growth and development.
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.
"A Thousand-Mile journey begins with the first step and can only be taken one step at a time."

Our Attitude determines our Altitude.
Smiling wins more friends than frowning.
Search our own heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life.
