Balance isn't either/or it's 'and'.
Stephen Covey
Image
In this knowledge-worker age, it's now increasingly tied to doing well in school so you can get into better grad schools so you can get better jobs - so the pressure to do well is really high.
Stephen Covey
Image
Be governed by your internal compass, not by some clock on the wall.
Stephen Covey
Image
Find your voice, and inspire others to find theirs. Don't ignore that longing to make a difference.
Stephen Covey
Image
A moment of choice is a moment of truth.
Stephen Covey
Image
If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting.
Stephen Covey
Image
Every person in the organization must change inside their hearts and minds, so that they themselves become principle centred.
Stephen Covey
Image
The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don't have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.
Stephen Covey
Image
Management is clearly different from leadership. Leadership is primarily a high-powered, right-brain activity. It's more of an art it's based on a philosophy. You have to ask the ultimate questions of life when you're dealing with personal leadership issues.
Stephen Covey
Image
In the long run, you can never accomplish a worthy end with an unworthy means.
Stephen Covey
Image
It is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it. People will forgive mistakes, because mistakes are usually of the mind, mistakes of judgment. But people will not easily forgive the mistakes of the heart, the ill intention, the bad motives, the prideful justifying cover-up of the first mistake.
Stephen Covey
Image
The exercise of true leadership is inversely proportional to the exercise of power.
Stephen Covey
Image
Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success.
Stephen Covey
Image
If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.
Stephen Covey
Image
Start small, make a promise and keep it. Then, make larger promises and keep them. Eventually, your honor will become greater than your moods or your circumstances, which includes your medical condition and other people's stereotypic observations. Once you overcome this comparison based mentality, your confidence will soar.
Stephen Covey
Image
Moving along the upward spiral requires us to learn, commit, and do on increasingly higher planes. We deceive ourselves if we think that any one of these is sufficient. To keep progressing, we must learn, commit, and do-learn, commit, and do-and learn, commit, and do again.
Stephen Covey

When our honor becomes greater than our moods, that is where transformation happens
Stephen Covey
Image
When people seriously undertake to identify what really matters most to them in their lives, what they really want to be and do, they become very reverent. They start to think in larger terms than today and tomorrow.
Stephen Covey
Image
Be a light, not a judge, be a model not a critic. Little by little, your circle of influence will explode and you will avoid the emotional metastasizing cancers of complaining, criticizing, competing, comparing and cynicism, all which reflect victimization, all of which are the opposite of being proactive.
Stephen Covey
Image
Self-awareness is our capacity to stand apart from ourselves and examine our thinking, our motives, our history, our scripts, our actions, and our habits and tendencies.
