More quotes by Stephen Covey
We tend to get what we expect - both from ourselves and from others. When we expect more, we tend to get more when we expect less, we tend to get less.
Stephen Covey
Each of us guard a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside.
Stephen Covey
Belief is another word for paradigm. It's a synonymous. Your belief of the way things are. Values are the way things should be, it's a paradigm of the way things should be. Beliefs are the paradigms of the way things are.
Stephen Covey
When one side benefits more than the other, that's a win-lose situation. To the winner it might look like success for a while, but in the long run, it breeds resentment and distrust.
Stephen Covey
Principles are deep fundamental truths... lightly interwoven threads running with exactness, consistency, beauty and strength through the fabric of life.
Stephen Covey
It is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it. People will forgive mistakes, because mistakes are usually of the mind, mistakes of judgment. But people will not easily forgive the mistakes of the heart, the ill intention, the bad motives, the prideful justifying cover-up of the first mistake.
Stephen Covey
In the absence of wake-up calls, many of us never really confront the critical issues of life.
Stephen Covey
As you begin to think more in terms of importance, you begin to see time differently.
Stephen Covey
At some time in your life, you probably had someone believe in you when you didn't believe in yourself.
Stephen Covey
There's strong data that, within companies, the No. 1 reason for ethical violations is the pressure to meet expectations, sometimes unrealistic expectations.
Stephen Covey
When we look through the lens of each others' weaknesses, we make others' strengths irrelevant and their weaknesses more evident.
Stephen Covey
Begin with the end in mind.
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
To ignore the unexpected (even if it were possible) would be to live without opportunity, spontaneity, and the rich moments of which life is made.
Stephen Covey
Private victories precede public victories.
Stephen Covey
Principles are guidelines for human conduct that are proven to have enduring, permanent value.
Stephen Covey
Integrity in the Moment of Choice: Quality of life depends on what happens in the space between stimulus and response.
Stephen Covey
As we make and keep commitments, even small commitments, we begin to establish an inner integrity that gives us the awareness of self-control and the courage and strength to accept more of the responsibility for our own lives. By making and keeping promises to ourselves and others, little by little, our honor becomes greater than our moods.
Stephen Covey
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Stephen Covey
Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
