Between stimulus and response, one has the freedom to
choose.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for
your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from
it--immediately.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Every human has four endowments- self awareness,
conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the
ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.
Dr. 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.
Dr. Stephen Covey
If you're proactive, you don't have to wait for
circumstances or other people to create perspective expanding experiences. You
can consciously create your own.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Live out of your imagination, not your history.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Many people seem to think that success in one area can
compensate for failure in other areas. But can it really?...True effectiveness
requires balance.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Our character is basically a composite of our habits.
Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly,
daily, express our character.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Without involvement, there is no commitment. Mark it down,
asterisk it, circle it, underline it. No involvement, no commitment.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Management works in the system. Leadership works on the
system.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Effective people are not problem-minded; they're
opportunity minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.
Dr. Stephen Covey
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.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Begin with the end in mind.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens
through which we see the world.
Dr. Stephen Covey
Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that
we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but
as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.
