More quotes by Stephen Covey
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.
Stephen Covey
When a person has access to both the intuitive, creative and visual right brain, and the analytical, logical, verbal left brain, then the whole brain is working...And this tool is best suited to the reality of what life is, because life is not just logical-it is also emotional.
Stephen Covey
If there's one thing that's certain in business, it's uncertainty.
Stephen Covey
I think that [respect for people] is of profound importance because it means you are caring and you trust them to do the right thing.
Stephen Covey
What does it matter how much we do if what we're doing isn't what matters most?
Stephen Covey
What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. There are people we trust because we know their character. Whether they're eloquent or not, whether they have human-relations techniques or not, we trust them and work with them.
Stephen Covey
The key to motivation is motive. It's the why. It's the deeper yes! burning inside that makes it easier to say no to the less important.
Stephen Covey
Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.
Stephen Covey
The principle of fasting is taught in almost all major world religions as a means of developing a higher level of self-mastery and self-control, and also a deeper awareness of how really dependent we are.
Stephen Covey
Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.
Stephen Covey
The greatest and most inspiring mountain climbing achievements in history are not so much stories of individual achievement, but are stories of the extraordinary power of a unified, talented, prepared team that stays loyally committed to one another and to their shared vision to the end.
Stephen Covey
You can't talk your way out of a problem you behaved your way into!
Stephen Covey
By centering our lives on timeless, unchanging principles, we create a fundamental paradigm of effective living. It is the center that puts all other centers in perspective.
Stephen Covey
Trust is the glue that holds everything together. It creates the environment in which all of the other elements win-win stewardship agreements, self-directing individuals and teams, aligned structures and systems, and accountability can flourish.
Stephen Covey
Strategy is important, but trust is the hidden variable. On paper you can have clarity around your objectives, but in a low-trust environment, your strategy won't be executed.
Stephen Covey
The nature of life is to be a study of contrasts: joy/sadness, full/empty. The Main Thing is to Keep The Main Thing The Main Thing.
Stephen Covey
The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are.
Stephen Covey
The greatest risk is the risk of riskless living.
Stephen Covey
When our honor becomes greater than our moods, that is where transformation happens
Stephen Covey
Begin with the end in mind.
