More Quotes by Stephen Covey
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.
There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles.
To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you're going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.
The problems in life come when we're sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different.
We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us.
Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.
Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
Look at the word responsibility-"response-ability"-the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.
Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships.
See every problem as an opportunity to exercise creative energy.
