We must never be too busy to take time to sharpen the saw.
Stephen Covey
Image
The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don't have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.
Stephen Covey
Image
Be a light, not a judge, be a model not a critic. Little by little, your circle of influence will explode and you will avoid the emotional metastasizing cancers of complaining, criticizing, competing, comparing and cynicism, all which reflect victimization, all of which are the opposite of being proactive.
Stephen Covey
Image
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.

When parents see their children's problems as opportunities to build the relationship instead of as negative, burdensome irritations, it totally changes the nature of parent-child interaction. Parents become more willing, even excited, about deeply understanding and helping their children. . . . This paradigm is powerful in business as well.

Self-mastery and self-discipline are the foundation of good relationships with others.
Stephen Covey

If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.
Stephen Covey
Image
If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting.

Treat them all the same by treating them differently.
Stephen Covey

You will never be able to truly step inside another person, to see the world as he sees it, until you develop the pure desire, the strength of personal character, and the positive Emotional Bank Account, as well as the empathetic listening skills to do it.

If there's one thing that's certain in business, it's uncertainty.
