More quotes by Stephen Covey
Your economic security does not lie in your job it lies in your own power to produce - to think, to learn, to create, to adapt. That's true financial independence. It's not having wealth it's having the power to produce wealth.
Stephen Covey
I can change. I can live out of my imagination instead of my memory. I can tie myself to my limitless potential instead of my limiting past
Stephen Covey
It is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves.
Stephen Covey
The key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.
Stephen Covey
Belief is another word for paradigm. It's a synonymous. Your belief of the way things are. Values are the way things should be, it's a paradigm of the way things should be. Beliefs are the paradigms of the way things are.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Sometimes poor behavior is simply bad execution of good intent.
Stephen Covey
An effective goal focuses primarily on results rather than activity. It identifies where you want to be, and, in the process, helps you determine where you are. It gives you important information on how to get there, and it tells you when you have arrived. It unifies your efforts and energy. It gives meaning and purpose to all you do.
Stephen Covey
When parents see their children's problems as opportunities to build the relationship instead of as negative, burdensome irritations, it totally changes the nature of parent-child interaction. Parents become more willing, even excited, about deeply understanding and helping their children. . . . This paradigm is powerful in business as well.
Stephen Covey
Values determine behavior Principles determine the consequences of behavior.
Stephen Covey
Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives. But creative experiences can be produced regularly, consistently, almost daily in people's lives. It requires enormous personal security and openness and a spirit of adventure.
Stephen Covey
Humility is the mother of all virtues, courage the father, integrity the child and wisdom the grandchild.
Stephen Covey
It's not only a matter of when to do things, but whether or not to do them at all.
Stephen Covey
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success.
Stephen Covey
Fundamentally, we are a product of choice, not nature (genes) or nurture (upbringing, environment).
Stephen Covey
Principle-centered people are constantly educated by their experiences.
Stephen Covey
The power to distinguish between person and performance and to communicate intrinsic worth flows naturally out of our own sense of intrinsic worth.
Stephen Covey
The universal elements are integrity, vision, discipline, passion, governed by conscience. Conscience has been educated through studying and pondering the universal, timeless principles of all six major world religions.
