True effectiveness is a function of two things: what is produced (the golden eggs) and the producing asset (the goose).

Your systems are perfectly designed to get the results that you are getting.

While you can think in terms of efficiency in dealing with time, a principle-centered person thinks in terms of effectiveness in dealing with people.

An effective goal focuses primarily on results rather than activity. It identifies where you want to be, and, in the process, helps you determine where you are. It gives you important information on how to get there, and it tells you when you have arrived. It unifies your efforts and energy. It gives meaning and purpose to all you do.

The greatest thing you can do for your children is love your spouse.

Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.

The great apparent dichotomy is that the more we give, the more we get.
