    It is because principles like fairness, honesty, respect, vision, accountability, and creative cooperation govern our lives... How we apply a principle will vary greatly and will be determined by our unique strengths, talents, and creativity, but, ultimately success in any endeavor is always derived from acting in harmony with the principles to which the success is tied.

    我們的生活和成功是由一些基本原則所決定，例如誠實、尊重、遠見、負責與創造性的合作。這些原則正如《高效能人士的七個習慣》中所提出的核心價值，作為我們行動的基石，影響著我們的決策和行為。

        每個人都有獨特的才能、優勢和創意，因此我們在實踐這些原則的方法也會各有不同。然而，無論採取何種方式，最終成功都建立在與這些基本原則和諧一致的行動之上，也就是說，只有當我們的行為與內心信守的價值觀相匹配時，才能真正實現卓越的成就。
