One of the best ways to educate our hearts is to look at our interaction with other people, because our relationships with others are fundamentally a reflection of our relationship with ourselves.
Stephen Covey
Image
Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.
Stephen Covey
Image
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.
Stephen Covey
Image
Don't prioritize your schedule, schedule those priorities.
Stephen Covey
Image
If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting.
Stephen Covey
Image
It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.
Stephen Covey
Image
Affirm people. Affirm your children. Believe in them, not in what you see but in what you don't see - their potential.
Stephen Covey
Image
More essential than working on attitudes and behaviors is examining the paradigms out of which those attitudes and behaviors flow.
