More quotes by Stephen Covey
Common sense is not always common practice.
Stephen Covey
Through imagination, we can visualize the uncredited worlds of potential that lie within us.
Stephen Covey
It's like the more you know the more you know you don't know.
Stephen Covey
Almost every significant breakthrough is the result of a courageous break with traditional ways of thinking.
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.
Stephen Covey
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity.
Stephen Covey
The way we see the problem is the problem.
Stephen Covey
Management is clearly different from leadership. Leadership is primarily a high-powered, right-brain activity. It's more of an art it's based on a philosophy. You have to ask the ultimate questions of life when you're dealing with personal leadership issues.
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
Will we act upon life, or will we merely be acted upon?
Stephen Covey
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.
Stephen Covey
This is the single most powerful investment we can ever make in life—investment in ourselves, in the only instrument we have with which to deal with life and to contribute.
Stephen Covey
The challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves.
Stephen Covey
A life of integrity is the most fundamental source of personal worth.
Stephen Covey
We see the world, not as it is, but as we are -- or, as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms.
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
When I started teaching I realized that I had never had such a level of satisfaction and such a feeling of fulfillment and sense of contribution. Just like that. But, usually it's more cumulative, slow, evolutionary and less revolutionary.
Stephen Covey
The heart and soul of loving yourself is integrity and the peace of conscience it inspires.
Stephen Covey
It comes from within.
Stephen Covey
We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us.
Stephen Covey
