Stephen Covey
Satisfied needs do not motivate. It's only the unsatisfied need that motivates. Next to physical survival, the greatest need of a human being is psychological survival - to be understood, to be affirmed, to be validated, to be appreciated.
Stephen Covey
We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us.
Stephen Covey
