The reflection of the current social paradigm tells us we are largely determined by conditioning and conditions.
Stephen CoveyPeople are social beings and want interaction and social learning is the primary form of learning, just as word of mouth advertising is the highest form of advertising.
Stephen CoveyYou can buy a person's hands but you can't buy his heart. His heart is where his enthusiasm, his loyalty is.
Stephen CoveyJust as the education of nerve and sinew is vital to the excellent athlete and education of the mind is vital to the scholar, education of the conscience is vital to the truly proactive, highly effective person. Training and educating the conscience, however, requires even greater concentration, more balanced discipline, more consistently honest living. It requires regular feasting on inspiring literature, thinking noble thoughts and, above all, living in harmony with its still small voice.
Stephen CoveyIt is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it. People will forgive mistakes, because mistakes are usually of the mind, mistakes of judgment. But people will not easily forgive the mistakes of the heart, the ill intention, the bad motives, the prideful justifying cover-up of the first mistake.
