More quotes by Stephen Covey
In our own lives, having a mind-set of expecting to win increases our odds of winning. It helps us get better results. And better results help us increase our credibility and self-confidence, which leads to more positive self-expectancy, and more winning - and the upward cycle continues. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Stephen Covey
In many situations involving service recovery - the problem itself became the catalyst for the creation of even greater trust as the companies took the issues head-on and worked through the difficult problem in a way that restored confidence.
Stephen Covey
Building and repairing relationships are long-term investments.
Stephen Covey
Nevertheless, the only way we can move from where we are now to where we would like to be is to accept where we are now.
Stephen Covey
Be governed by your internal compass, not by some clock on the wall.
Stephen Covey
I believe that correct principles are natural laws, and that God, the Creator and Father of us all, is the source of them, and also the source of our conscience. I believe that to the degree people live by this inspired conscience, they will grow to fulfill their natures to the degree that they do not, they will not rise above the animal plane.
Stephen Covey
Success is when you realize obstacles you face are challenges to help you become better - and your response equals the challenge.
Stephen Covey
It's easy to say ''no!'' when there's a deeper ''yes!'' burning inside.
Stephen Covey
Treat them all the same by treating them differently.
Stephen Covey
When parents see their children's problems as opportunities to build the relationship instead of as negative, burdensome irritations, it totally changes the nature of parent-child interaction. Parents become more willing, even excited, about deeply understanding and helping their children. . . . This paradigm is powerful in business as well.
Stephen Covey
Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.
Stephen Covey
Through imagination, we can visualize the uncredited worlds of potential that lie within us.
Stephen Covey
Trust is the glue in relationships and organizations
Stephen Covey
Life is a mission, not a career.
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
Putting first things first means organizing and executing around your most important priorities. It is living and being driven by the principles you value most, not by the agendas and forces surrounding you.
Stephen Covey
Habit 1: Be Proactive Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind Habit 3: Put First Things First Habit 4: Think Win/Win Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood Habit 6: Synergize Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Stephen Covey
In our personal lives, if we do not develop our own self-awareness and become responsible for first creations, we empower other people and circumstances to shape our lives by default.
Stephen Covey
When we value correct principles, we have truth - a knowledge of things as they are.
Stephen Covey
True effectiveness is a function of two things: what is produced (the golden eggs) and the producing asset (the goose).
