Synergy Is The Highest Activity

Patience Is Emotional Diligence.

The Environment You Fashion Out Of Your Thoughts, Your Beliefs, Your Ideals, Your Philosophy Is The Only Climate You Will Ever Live In. The Key Is In Not Spending Time, But In Investing It.

Actually I Did Not Invent The Seven Habits, They Are Universal Principles And Most Of What I Wrote About Is Just Common Sense. I Am Embarrassed When People Talk About The Covey Habits, And Dislike The Idea Of Being Some Sort Of Guru.

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.

We See The World, Not As It Is, But As We Are──or, As We Are Conditioned To See It.
