More quotes by Stephen Covey
Love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is the fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her.
Stephen Covey
Be proactive. Ask yourself, Are my actions based on self-chosen values or on my moods, feelings and circumstances?
Stephen Covey
What is important to another person must be as important to you as the other person is to you
Stephen Covey
I believe that the habit of constant reading of good books and scholarly periodicals and magazines in many disciplines is vital to give a larger perspective and to constantly sense the interdependent nature of life.
Stephen Covey
The struggle comes when we sense a gap between the clock and the compass - when what we do doesn't contribute to what is most important in our lives.
Stephen Covey
To receive gratitude with grace is a form of gratitude by itself, and not always an easy art to master.
Stephen Covey
Improve relationships with others by assuming that they can hear everything you say about them
Stephen Covey
Every person in the organization must change inside their hearts and minds, so that they themselves become principle centred.
Stephen Covey
Principles are natural laws that are external to us and that ultimately control the consequences of our actions. Values are internal and subjective and represent that which we feel strongest about in guiding our behavior.
Stephen Covey
Involve people in the problem and work out the solution together.
Stephen Covey
I can change. I can live out of my imagination instead of my memory. I can tie myself to my limitless potential instead of my limiting past
Stephen Covey
A moment of choice is a moment of truth.
Stephen Covey
The bottom line is, when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities, not only are they many times more productive, they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.
Stephen Covey
Public behavior is merely private character writ large.
Stephen Covey
Trust is clearly a key competency. A competency or skill that can be learned, taught, and improved and one that talent can be screened for.
Stephen Covey
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
Stephen Covey
Reducing children to a test score is the worst form of identity theft we could commit in schools.
Stephen Covey
If we want to make relatively minor changes in our lives, we can perhaps appropriately focus on our attitudes and behaviors. But if we want to make significant, quantum change, we need to work on our basic paradigms.
Stephen Covey
We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.
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.
