Stephen Covey
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand they listen with the intent to reply.
Stephen Covey
When you have a challenge and the response is equal to the challenge, that's called 'success'. But once you have a new challenge, the old, once-successful response no longer works. That's why it is called a 'failure'.
Stephen Covey
This is the single most powerful investment we can ever make in life—investment in ourselves, in the only instrument we have with which to deal with life and to contribute.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
When our honor becomes greater than our moods, that is where transformation happens
