When your happiness comes primarily from the happiness of others, you know you have moved from a 'me' experience to a 'we' experience. And the whole problem-solving and opportunity-seizing process changes.

More quotes by Stephen Covey
Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world.
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
Effective interdependence can only be built on true independence.
Stephen Covey
Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually.
Stephen Covey
To receive gratitude with grace is a form of gratitude by itself, and not always an easy art to master.
Stephen Covey
Effective people do two things: they strive to do excellent work, and they prioritize.
Stephen Covey
You have two ears and one mouth. Use them accordingly.
Stephen Covey
Basing our happiness on our ability to control everything is futile.
Stephen Covey
Above all, success in business requires two things: a winning competitive strategy, and superb organizational execution. Distrust is the enemy of both. I submit that while high trust won't necessarily rescue a poor strategy, low trust will almost always derail a good one.
Stephen Covey
Where there's no gardener, there's no garden.
Stephen Covey
Reactive people... are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior.
Stephen Covey
You can't change the fruit without changing the root.
Stephen Covey
What is important to another person must be as important to you as the other person is to you
Stephen Covey
Results matter! They matter to your credibility.
Stephen Covey
To maintain the P/PC Balance, the balance between the golden egg (production) and the health and welfare of the goose (production capability) is often a difficult judgment call. But I suggest it is the very essence of effectiveness.
Stephen Covey
Principles don't die. They aren't here one day and gone the next. They can't be destroyed by fire, earthquake or theft. Principles are deep, fundamental truths, classic truths.
Stephen Covey
When the trust is high, you get the trust dividend. Investors invest in brands people trust. Consumers buy more from companies they trust, they spend more with companies they trust, they recommend companies they trust, and they give companies they trust the benefit of the doubt when things go wrong.
Stephen Covey
I think that [respect for people] is of profound importance because it means you are caring and you trust them to do the right thing.
Stephen Covey
You basically get what you reward. If you want to achieve the goals and reflect the values in your mission statement, then you need to align the reward system with these goals and values.
Stephen Covey
I love interaction with audiences. If were my choice, I would spend most of my time interacting with audiences. Walking around and asking them to challenge me.
