More quotes by Stephen Covey

Image
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.

We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.
Stephen Covey
Image
In our personal lives, if we do not develop our own self-awareness and become responsible for first creations, we empower other people and circumstances to shape our lives by default.
Stephen Covey
Image
A moment of choice is a moment of truth. It's the testing point of our character and competence.
