Stephen Covey
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
You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically, to say “no” to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger “yes” burning inside. The enemy of the “best” is often the “good.
Stephen Covey
