Image
You can retire from a job, but don't ever retire from making extremely meaningful contributions in life.
Stephen Covey
Image
In this knowledge-worker age, it's now increasingly tied to doing well in school so you can get into better grad schools so you can get better jobs - so the pressure to do well is really high.
Stephen Covey
Image
Trust is the glue that holds everything together. It creates the environment in which all of the other elements win-win stewardship agreements, self-directing individuals and teams, aligned structures and systems, and accountability can flourish.
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

Values determine behavior Principles determine the consequences of behavior.
Stephen Covey

How many on their deathbeds wished they'd spent more time at the office - or watching TV? The answer is, No one.
Stephen Covey
Image
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
Image
As we make and keep commitments, even small commitments, we begin to establish an inner integrity that gives us the awareness of self-control and the courage and strength to accept more of the responsibility for our own lives. By making and keeping promises to ourselves and others, little by little, our honor becomes greater than our moods.
Stephen Covey
Image
Principle-centered people are constantly educated by their experiences.
Stephen Covey
Image
The world has entered an era of the most profound and challenging change in human history.
Stephen Covey
Image
At some time in your life, you probably had someone believe in you when you didn't believe in yourself.
Stephen Covey
Image
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
Image
The best way to develop courage is to set a goal and achieve it, make a promise and keep it.
Stephen Covey
Image
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
Image
Your economic security does not lie in your job it lies in your own power to produce - to think, to learn, to create, to adapt. That's true financial independence. It's not having wealth it's having the power to produce wealth.
Stephen Covey
Image
True effectiveness is a function of two things: what is produced (the golden eggs) and the producing asset (the goose).
