7 Habits
Today I read a bit in the 7 Habits about Sharpening the Saw.
Sharpening the Saw is basically improving on yourself. This is like a lumberjack taking thirty minutes to sharpen his saw and another thirty minutes to saw the tree instead of taking five hours to saw the tree with a blunt saw. It is the idea that you need to review things that you have already gone over, that you cannot just forge ahead.
An example of this is two people's relationships. If you do not sharpen the relationship with them after some time, thereby also understanding and learning about the other, and just forge ahead, the relationship will eventually blow up because you do not seek time to understand them. Also, your principles must be sharpened, or else they will fall out of practice and you will go back to being without principles, which will change a lot of things for the worse in your life.
In conclusion, you must sharpen the saw, or else a lot of things will rust and fall away.
