Most people define greatness ...

Most people define greatness through wealth and popularity and position in the corner office. But what I call everyday greatness comes from character and contribution.

Perhaps the most important vision of all is develop a sense of self, a sense of your own destiny, a sense of unique mission and role in life.

Strength lies in differences, not in similarities

How does humility manifest it...

How does humility manifest itself in leadership and in life? A humble person is more concerned about what is right than about being right, about acting on good ideas than having the ideas, about embracing new truth than defending outdated position, about building the team than exalting self, about recognizing contribution than being recognized for making it.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

We may find it convenient to ...

We may find it convenient to live with the illusion that circumstances or other people are responsible for the quality of our lives, but the reality is that we are responsible-response-able-for our choices.

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 740 quotes

Effective people are not prob...

Effective people are not problem-minded; they're opportunity minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

The first job of a leader-at work or at home-is to inspire trust. It's to bring out the best in people by entrusting them with meaningful stewardships, and to create an environment in which high-trust interaction inspires creativity and possibility.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

When life does not go our way...

When life does not go our way or we inadvertently make a mistake, it is so easy to make excuses, place blame on others, or argue that circumstances were against us. But we only progress in life to the extent that we take responsibility for our actions and attitudes, and put forth the initiative necessary to create our own circumstances.

It's easy to say ''no!'' when there's a deeper ''yes!'' burning inside.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

The key to motivation is motive. It's the why. It's the deeper yes! burning inside that makes it easier to say no to the less important.

You can't have the fruits without the roots.

If you want to have a more pleasant, cooperative teenager, be a more understanding, empathic, consistent, loving parent. If you want to have more freedom, more latitude in your job, be a more responsible, a more helpful, a more contributing employee.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

What we are communicates far ...

What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. There are people we trust because we know their character. Whether they're eloquent or not, whether they have human-relations techniques or not, we trust them and work with them.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

I think the most significant ...

I think the most significant work we'll do in our whole life, in our whole world is done within the four walls of our home.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

As you live your values, your...

As you live your values, your sense of identity, integrity, control, and inner-directedness will infuse you with both exhilaration and peace. You will define yourself from within, rather than by people's opinions or by comparisons to others.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

Look at the weaknesses of oth...

Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation. It's not what they're not doing or should be doing that's the issue. The issue is your own chosen response to the situation and what you should be doing. If you start to think the problem is "out there," stop yourself. That thought is the problem.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

If you don't choose to do it ...

If you don't choose to do it in leadership time up front, you do it in crisis management time down the road.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

Love is a verb. Love is somet...

Love is a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others. Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love the verb.
