More quotes by Stephen Covey
Fundamentally, we are a product of choice, not nature (genes) or nurture (upbringing, environment).
Stephen Covey
Each of us guard a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside.
Stephen Covey
People behave more on the basis of how they feel than how they think unless there are good feelings between people, it is almost impossible to reason intelligently.
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
Private victories precede public victories.
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
Private Victory precedes Public Victory. Algebra comes before calculus.
Stephen Covey
Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.
Stephen Covey
Only as we keep an open communication with our deep inner life will we have the wisdom to make effective choices.
Stephen Covey
The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person. Reactive people are driven by feelings, by circumstances, by conditions, by their environment. Proactive people are driven by values - carefully thought about, selected and internalized values.
Stephen Covey
Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world.
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
We develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and obstacles.
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
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.
Stephen Covey
Live the law of love. We encourage obedience to the laws of life when we live the laws of love.
Stephen Covey
People and organizations don't grow much without delegation and completed staff work because they are confined to the capacities of the boss and reflect both personal strengths and weaknesses
Stephen Covey
All the well-meaning advice in the world won't amount to a hill of beans if we're not even addressing the real problem.
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.
