More quotes by 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
The key to creating passion in your life is to find your unique talents, and your special role and purpose in the world.
Stephen Covey
Trust is a function of both character and competence. Of course you can't trust someone who lacks integrity, but if someone is honest but they can't perform, you're not going to trust them either. You won't trust them to get the job done.
Stephen Covey
It takes humility to seek feedback. It takes wisdom to understand it, analyze it and appropriately act on it.
Stephen Covey
I am convinced that if we as a society work diligently in every other area of life and neglect the family, it would be analogous to straightening deck chairs on the Titanic.
Stephen Covey
We're often so busy cutting through the undergrowth we don't even realise we're in the wrong jungle.
Stephen Covey
As you begin to think more in terms of importance, you begin to see time differently.
Stephen Covey
It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.
Stephen Covey
Security represents your sense of worth, your identity, your emotional anchorage, your self-esteem, your basic personal strength or lack of it.
Stephen Covey
It takes courage to realize that you are greater than your moods, greater than your thoughts, and that you can control your moods and thoughts.
Stephen Covey
By behaving in ways that build trust with one, you build trust with many.
Stephen Covey
Everyone has values even criminal gangs have values. Values govern people's behavior but principles govern the consequences of those behaviors.
Stephen Covey
We can act instead of being acted upon.
Stephen Covey
When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you're pledging your integrity.
Stephen Covey
We all go through stages. Concerns about appearances, making good impressions, being popular, comparing yourself to others, having unbridled ambition, wanting to make money, striving to be recognized and noticed and trying to establish yourself, all fade as your responsibilities and character grow.
Stephen Covey
There is so much we can do to render service, to make a difference in the world - no matter how large or small our circle of influence.
Stephen Covey
Only after we can learn to forgive ourselves can we accept others as they are because we don't feel threatened by anything about them which is better than us.
Stephen Covey
An effective goal focuses primarily on results rather than activity. It identifies where you want to be, and, in the process, helps you determine where you are. It gives you important information on how to get there, and it tells you when you have arrived. It unifies your efforts and energy. It gives meaning and purpose to all you do.
Stephen Covey
If we want to make relatively minor changes in our lives, we can perhaps appropriately focus on our attitudes and behaviors. But if we want to make significant, quantum change, we need to work on our basic paradigms.
Stephen Covey
We develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and obstacles.
