He leaves a legacy of legions of human beings who are better people because he touched their lives.Leader in Me - описание и краткое содержание, автор Covey Stephen R. I’m grateful for the life of Stephen Covey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.” If you look at life’s road from this perspective, everything you see along the way takes on an entirely different meaning. “We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. If we all did this, imagine how different the world would be. “To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground.” Treat one another as the miracles you truly are. “If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.” So choose your path with care, and don’t be afraid to back track if you’re on the wrong one. It’s what we do right now that makes all the difference. “Live out of your imagination, not your history.” What’s behind us is not important.
#STEPHEN COVEY QUOTES WE ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS HOW TO#
“I teach people how to treat me by what I will allow.” How many of us put up with unacceptable behavior? You always get what you accept. It takes a long time to build and can be lost in an instant. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.” Trust is essential. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. “It’s not what happens to us, but our response to what happens to us that hurts us.” Our broken hearts can be mended, but only we can mend them. So when you’re talking to yourself, watch your language. Our subconscious listens closely to what we tell it. You could no more call them back then ignore the mess they left when they fell.” Words can be helpful or hurtful, so be mindful when you speak. “Words are like eggs dropped from great heights. Enlightenment comes from challenging our paradigms and turning the prism to see the light in a whole new way. “We see the world, not as it is, but as we are conditioned to see it.” Where we are right now is the sum total of our experiences. Be a model, not a critic.” In the end, all you can do is model the behavior and believe that those you love will ultimately model it, too. “Strength lies in differences, not in similarities.” Fresh perspectives can help solve our toughest problems. And nothing good is ever gained if we don’t do the right thing. The choices we make will determine the extent of our happiness. “There are three constants in life… Change, Choice and Principles.” Nothing stays the same. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.” Knowing what to do is only half of the challenge. “Effective leadership is putting first things first. “Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.” Try writing your to-do list with this in mind and see how your priorities change. “If I really want to improve my situation, I can work on the one thing over which I have control - myself.” We are of our own creation and what we do every day, right or wrong, affirms it.
