Here are some more quotes from Stephen Covey:
"Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us."
"It's easy to say ''no!'' when there's a deeper ''yes!'' burning inside."
"Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it / immediately."
Wow! Was that appropriate for something that happened to me this week..... I asked another realtor who was the listing agent, to change the info on her mls sheet. She had entered that she was both the selling and listing agent, and I was asking her to correct it. I asked very nicely, and she turned the whole thing into a huffy "Why do you care so much, why do I have to do it now, " thing. She should have simply apologized and corrected it. What was that all about?
Heather, I had the privilege of being involved with our local Chamber's effort to bring Covey to Lake Charles several years ago. It was a sell-out and I still cherish my signed copy of "7 Habits....." For whatever reason, your post reminded me of one of my favorite quotes that goes something like, "Seek to understand, THEN to be understood." Thanks
His quotes just hit home and are so applicable for us! I have never met him, but would love too! How awesome for you!!!
