More quotes by Stephen Covey
At some time in your life, you probably had someone believe in you when you didn't believe in yourself.
Stephen Covey
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
The exercise of true leadership is inversely proportional to the exercise of power.
Stephen Covey
If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting.
Stephen Covey
Don't cheat people of their growth. Empower them to solve problems and generate ideas. Watch them grow!
Stephen Covey
Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love, the verb.
Stephen Covey
It's not enough to have values without vision you want to be good, but you want to be good for something. On the other hand, vision without values can create a Hitler . An empowering mission statement deals with both character and competence what you want to be and what you want to do in your life.
Stephen Covey
I know it is possible not only to restore trust but to actually enhance it. The difficult things that we got through with the important people in our lives can become fertile ground for the growth of enduring trust - trust that is actually stronger because it's been tested and proved through challenge.
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.
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
While values drive behaviors, principles govern consequences.
Stephen Covey
You have two ears and one mouth. Use them accordingly.
Stephen Covey
When you have too many top priorities, you effectively have no top priorities.
Stephen Covey
But until a person can say deeply and honestly, I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday, that person cannot say, I choose otherwise.
Stephen Covey
We see the world, not as it is, but as we are -- or, as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms.
Stephen Covey
Interdependence is a choice only independent people can make
Stephen Covey
Results matter! They matter to your credibility.
Stephen Covey
We develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and obstacles.
Stephen Covey
When we value correct principles, we have truth - a knowledge of things as they are.
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.
