This presentation is based on the 90/10 Principle proposed by Stephen Covey. Covey is the creator and author of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People that are based on his extensive research on how our habits impact our life and how we can use the effective habits to lead a successful life. Covey’s work is based on strong fundamental principles that serve as the foundation of those 7 habits. Through this 90/10 Principle, this PPT explores his approach towards dealing with situations in life by managing your reactions to them. This is the key for a better life free of stress.

What is the 90/10 Principle? If Life was measured assuming it has a full value of 100% then looking at the scale of life, we can say majority of the things that happen to us are not under our control. That includes all the situations we encounter on daily basis, how many of those can be said to be under our control? Covey looks at it differently stating that of all the things that happen to you they only make up 10% of life. The remaining 90% of life is determined by your reaction to what has happened to you. This is the 90/10 Principle.
The 10% (that you have no control over – Explained). The 10% comprises of incidents that you cannot have control over in life. These incidents can be related to your travel plan going off schedule, facing traffic jam or someone cutting you in traffic, your vehicle breaking down etc. These incidents happen in life whether you want them or you don’t want them to. Consider these as a part and parcel of living life. You cannot worry about them and neither can you always be prepared for them. You have to accept them just as they occur.
The 90% (that you have full control over – Explained). When incidents happen they remain where they are with a limited potential to do disturb us. However when they happen, we immediately give the situation own interpretation and end up quickly reacting to it, thus increasing the situation’s potential to harm us. Incidents in life will continue to happen, we must therefore be mindful of our own reactions to them. Our reactions make up the 90% of what that situation becomes for us.
How does the 90/10 Principle lead to a better life? The slide explains the above principle through a scenario where the first reaction to a spilling-of-coffee situation leads to a chain of situations that all end up in a very bad day. It then demonstrates to the reader the use of 90/10 Principle through the same spilling-of-coffee incident except this time the first reaction is changed. It thus shows how changing the first reaction could actually change the whole outcome of the day.
The wisdom of the 90/10 Principle is that we can control our reaction. That we have a choice when it comes to reacting to the many situations in our life and thus by changing the way we think we can have the experience of a better life.
