Temat: RIP Stephen Covey :(
There are three constants in life… change, choice and principles.
Stephen Covey
We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.
Stephen Covey
To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground.
― Stephen R. Covey
The way we see the problem is the problem.
― Stephen R. Covey
Live, love, laugh, leave a legacy.
― Stephen R. Covey
Live out of your imagination, not your history.
― Stephen R. Covey
People can't live with change if there's not a changeless core inside them.

We see the world, not as it is, but as we are — or, as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms.
― Stephen R. Covey
In the space between stimulus (what happens) and how we respond, lies our freedom to choose. Ultimately, this power to choose is what defines us as human beings. We may have limited choices but we can always choose. We can choose our thoughts, emotions, moods, our words, our actions; we can choose our values and live by principles. It is the choice of acting or being acted upon.
― Stephen R. Covey
Is it logical that two people can disagree and that both can be right? It's not logical: it's psychological. And it's very real.
― Stephen R. Covey
My wife and I just don't have the same feelings for each other we used to have. I guess I just don't love her anymore and she doesn't love me. What can i do?
The feeling isn't there anymore? I asked.
That's right, he reaffirmed. And we have three children we're really concerned about. What do you suggest?
love her, I replied.
I told you, the feeling just isn't there anymore.
Love her.
You don't understand. the feeling of love just isn't there.
Then love her. If the feeling isn't there, that's a good reason to love her.
But how do you love when you don't love?
My friend , love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?
