About a year ago, reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I prepared my life credo and my life roles. I read it regularly for several months and tried to stick to it. However, after some time I put my notebook somewhere between books and I came back to it less and less often.
Today, I will publish exactly what I wrote then. Today I would want to change some of that statements, but for now, I will write exactly what I wrote last year. I want to come back and update it from time to time. I know that the credo should remain unchanged for life. But it's really hard to sit down once and set your life goals and values for forever.
