Stephen Covey

People often find themselves achieving victories that are empty, successes that have come at the expense of things they suddenly realize were far more valuable to them.

Stephen Covey

People simply feel better about themselves and about life when they’re good at something.

Stephen Covey

Prepare your mind and heart before you prepare your speech. What we say may be less important than how we say it.

Stephen Covey

Putting first things first means organizing and executing around your most important priorities. Whatever the circumstance, it is living and being driven by the principles you value most, not by the agendas and forces surrounding you.

Stephen Covey

Quality of life depends on what happens in the space between stimulus and response.

Stephen Covey

Quality relationships are built on principles, especially the principle of trust.

Stephen Covey

Reactive people are driven by feelings, by circumstances, by conditions, by their environment. Proactive people are driven by values – carefully thought about, selected and internalized values.

Stephen Covey

Real success is success with self. It’s not in having things, but in having mastery, having victory over self.

Stephen Covey

Remember that quick fix is a mirage. Building and repairing relationships takes time.

Stephen Covey

Results matter! They matter to your credibility.
