Communication is the most important single activity of man.

Whenever you experience stress of any kind, look into yourself and ask, In what way am I compromising my innermost values in this situation?

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

In the absence of wake-up calls, many of us never really confront the critical issues of life.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

We must not let the actions o...

We must not let the actions or words of others determine our responses. Magnanimous people make the choice to respond to the indignities of others based upon their own principles and their own value system rather than their moods or anger.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

Most of us think we don't hav...

Most of us think we don't have enough time to exercise. What a distorted paradigm! We don't have time not to. We're talking about three to six hours a week - or a minimum of thirty minutes a day, every other day. That hardly seems an inordinate amount of time considering the tremendous benefits in terms of the impact on the other 162 - 165 hours of the week.

We hear a lot about identity theft when someone takes your wallet and pretends to be you and uses your credit cards. But the more serious identity theft is to get swallowed up in other people's definition of you.

Love is a verb. Love – the fe...

Love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is the fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her.

As you care less about what people think of you, you will care more about what others think of themselves.

At the core, there is one sim...

At the core, there is one simple, overarching reason why so many people remain unsatisfied in their work and why most organisations fail to draw out the greatest talent, ingenuity, and creativity of their people and never become truly great, enduring organisations. It stems from an incomplete paradigm of who we are - our fundamental view of human nature. The fundamental reality is, human beings are not things needing to be motivated and controlled; they are four-dimensional - body, mind, heart, and spirit.

When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.

If we want to make a change in our lives, we should first focus on our personal attitudes and behaviors.

How many on their deathbeds wished they'd spent more time at the office - or watching TV? The answer is, No one.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

If the only vision we have of...

If the only vision we have of ourselves comes from the social mirror - from the current social paradigm and from the opinions, perceptions, and paradigms of the people around us - our view of ourselves is like the reflection in a crazy mirror room at the carnival.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

When you have too many top priorities, you effectively have no top priorities.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

Effective communication is bu...

Effective communication is built on the cement of trust. And trust is based on trustworthiness, not politics.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

If I were to summarize in one...

If I were to summarize in one sentence the single most important principle I have learned in the field of interpersonal relations, it would be this: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. This principle is the key to effective interpersonal communication.

Fundamentally, we are a product of choice, not nature (genes) or nurture (upbringing, environment).

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

You have two ears and one mouth. Use them accordingly.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

It's not what people do to us...

It's not what people do to us that hurts us. In the most fundamental sense, it is our chosen response to what they do to us that hurts us.

Stephen Covey 740 quotes

When the trust is high, you get the trust dividend. Investors invest in brands people trust. Consumers buy more from companies they trust, they spend more with companies they trust, they recommend companies they trust, and they give companies they trust the benefit of the doubt when things go wrong.
