Stephen Covey
We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey
The key to motivation is motive. It's the why. It's the deeper yes! burning inside that makes it easier to say no to the less important.
Stephen Covey
Vital to quality of life is the ability to work together, learn from each other, and help each other grow.
Stephen Covey
People who end up with the good jobs are the proactive ones who are solutions to problems, not problems themselves, who seize the initiative to do whatever is necessary to get the job done.
Stephen Covey
We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions.
