Stephen Covey
You can buy a person's hands but you can't buy his heart. His heart is where his enthusiasm, his loyalty is.
Stephen Covey
Success comes from the ability to view each arising problem as an opportunity for self improvement.
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
