Seek to understand rather than be understood.
Stephen Covey

Image
Strength lies in differences, not in similarities
Stephen Covey
Image
Life is a mission, not a career.
Stephen Covey
Image
Affirm people. Affirm your children. Believe in them, not in what you see but in what you don't see - their potential.
Stephen Covey
Image
Effective interdependence can only be built on true independence.
Stephen Covey
Image
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
Image
Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually.
Stephen Covey
Image
To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.
Stephen Covey
Image
When your happiness comes primarily from the happiness of others, you know you have moved from a 'me' experience to a 'we' experience. And the whole problem-solving and opportunity-seizing process changes.
Stephen Covey
Image
