Whether you're on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can't trust one another there's going to be trouble.
Stephen CoveyMost of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.
Stephen CoveyWhat one thing could you do in your personal and professional life that, if you did on a regular basis, would make a tremendous positive difference in your life? Quadrant II activities have that kind of impact. Our effectiveness takes quantum leaps when we do them.
Stephen CoveyAnytime we think the problem is 'out there,' that thought is the problem. We empower what's out there to control us. The change paradigm is 'outside-in' - what's out there has to change before we can change. The proactive approach is to change from the 'inside-out': to be different, and by being different, to effect positive change in what's out there - I can be more resourceful, I can be more diligent, I can be more creative, I can be more cooperative.
