More quotes by Stephen Covey
The problems in life come when we're sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different.
Stephen Covey
The only person over whom you have direct and immediate control is yourself. The most important assets to develop, preserve and enhance, therefore, are your own capabilities. And no one can do it for you. You must cultivate the habit of leadership effectiveness for yourself - and doing so will be the single best investment you will ever make.
Stephen Covey
The key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.
Stephen Covey
When one side benefits more than the other, that's a win-lose situation. To the winner it might look like success for a while, but in the long run, it breeds resentment and distrust.
Stephen Covey
What does it matter how much we do if what we're doing isn't what matters most?
Stephen Covey
The struggle comes when we sense a gap between the clock and the compass - when what we do doesn't contribute to what is most important in our lives.
Stephen Covey
Live simply and appreciate what you have. Give more. Expect less.
Stephen Covey
The enemy of the best is often the good.
Stephen Covey
We exhaust ourselves more from the tension and the consequences of internal disharmony than from hard, unremitting work.
Stephen Covey
Happen to things, don't let things happen to you
Stephen Covey
Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Stephen Covey
To listen with empathy is the most important human skill.
Stephen Covey
Being humble does not mean being weak, reticent, or self-effacing. It means recognizing principle and putting it ahead of self. It means standing firmly for principle, even in the fact of opposition.
Stephen Covey
All things are created twice. All things. Vision is the first creation. For a house it's called the blueprint. For a life it's called a mission. For a day it's called a goal and a plan. For a parent it's called a belief in the unseen potential of a child. For all, it is the mental creation which always precedes the physical, or second, creation.
Stephen Covey
Find your voice, and inspire others to find theirs. Don't ignore that longing to make a difference.
Stephen Covey
They [Nazi captors]had more liberty, more options to choose from in their environment but he [Viktor Frankl] had more freedom, more internal power to exercise his options.
Stephen Covey
Effective people stay out of Quadrants III and IV because, urgent or not, they aren't important. They also shrink Quadrant I down to size by spending more time in Quadrant II...Quadrant II is the heart of effective personal management.
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
Perhaps a sense of possessing needs to come to come before a sense of genuine sharing.
Stephen Covey
The roots of the problems we face in the world, in our national life, and in our family and personal lives are spiritual.
