Stephen Covey
Image
Effective people are not problem-minded they're opportunity minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.
Stephen Covey

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
Image
Security represents your sense of worth, your identity, your emotional anchorage, your self-esteem, your basic personal strength or lack of it.
Stephen Covey
Image
When we value correct principles, we have truth - a knowledge of things as they are.
