More quotes by Stephen Covey
The most effective way I know to begin with the end in mind is to develop a personal mission statement or philosophy or creed. It focused on what you want to be (character) and to do (contributions and achievements) and on the values or principles upon which being and doing are based.
Stephen Covey
To maintain the P/PC Balance, the balance between the golden egg (production) and the health and welfare of the goose (production capability) is often a difficult judgment call. But I suggest it is the very essence of effectiveness.
Stephen Covey
Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.
Stephen Covey
We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.
Stephen Covey
Where there's no gardener, there's no garden.
Stephen Covey
A mission statement is not something you write overnight... But fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life.
Stephen Covey
When people seriously undertake to identify what really matters most to them in their lives, what they really want to be and do, they become very reverent. They start to think in larger terms than today and tomorrow.
Stephen Covey
We may be very busy, we may be very 'efficient', but we will also be truly 'effective' only when we begin with the end in mind.
Stephen Covey
If we know how to listen to our own heart, we can listen to the hearts of others.
Stephen Covey
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand they listen with the intent to reply.
Stephen Covey
The great contributors in life are those who, though afraid of the knock at the door, still answer it.
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
A moment of choice is a moment of truth. It's the testing point of our character and competence.
Stephen Covey
Free your heart from hatred - forgive. Free your mind from worries - most never happen. Live simply and appreciate what you have. Give more. Expect less.
Stephen Covey
You can't have the fruits without the roots.
Stephen Covey
Begin with the end in mind.
Stephen Covey
A personal mission statement becomes the DNA for every other decision we make.
Stephen Covey
Above all, success in business requires two things: a winning competitive strategy, and superb organizational execution. Distrust is the enemy of both. I submit that while high trust won't necessarily rescue a poor strategy, low trust will almost always derail a good one.
Stephen Covey
Network marketing has come of age. It's undeniable that it has become a way to entrepreneurship and independence for millions of people
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.
