As the second pillar of our intellectual programming, the Reading Club has become a central space for reflection, dialogue, and continuous learning within SAMBA-CORÉE. More than a simple gathering around books, it has established itself as a privileged forum where literature serves as a bridge between cultures and ideas, nurturing both critical thinking and fraternity among members.
For this special session held on November 30 at 8:30 PM, the club focused on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, one of the most influential personal development works of modern times. The discussion centered on Part One: Paradigms and Principles, with particular emphasis on the Inside-Out approach, a philosophy that challenges individuals to begin personal transformation from within before seeking change externally.
This session was elevated by the presence of a distinguished guest, Ondo Boris, who joined members and the wider community for a live discussion. His participation added depth and perspective to the exchange, allowing participants to explore the foundational concepts of the book in a dynamic and interactive format. Through thoughtful analysis and practical examples, the conversation unpacked the importance of shifting paradigms, cultivating character-based leadership, and aligning actions with timeless principles.
Over time, the Reading Club has evolved into a true laboratory of ideas. Members do not simply read; they question, debate, interpret, and connect lessons from literature to their personal and professional journeys. The exploration of diverse works has stimulated intellectual curiosity and encouraged the sharing of knowledge across backgrounds and experiences.
The session on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People once again demonstrated how powerful collective reflection can be. The exchange fostered a strong sense of unity, proving that intellectual engagement can be both enriching and deeply human. Through debate and discovery, bonds of fraternity are strengthened, and a culture of lifelong learning is cultivated.
With initiatives like the Reading Club, SAMBA-CORÉE continues to affirm its commitment to maintaining vibrant intellectual activity within the community. By creating spaces where ideas circulate freely and perspectives are challenged constructively, the association empowers its members to grow not only socially and culturally, but also intellectually and personally.
