| Epigraph |
There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living
DAVID STAR JORDAN  We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
ARISTOTLE I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor.
HENRY DAVID THOREAU What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
OLIVER WENDALL HOLMES Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.
GOETHE There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity.
SAMUEL JOHNSON We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.
EDWIN MARKHAM The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of.
PASCAL I take as my guide the hope of a saint:
in crucial things, unity --
in important things, diversity --
in all things, generosity.
INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things. . .
I am tempted to think. . .
there are no little things.
BRUCE BARTON The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by hanging their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.

| First words |
In more than 25 years of working with people in business, university, and marriage and family settings, I have come in contact with many individuals who have achieved an incredible degree of outward success, but have found themselves struggling with an inner hunger, a deep need for personal congruency and effectiveness and for healthy, growing relationships with other people. | |

By centering our lives on correct principles and creating a balanced focus between doing and increasing our ability to do, we become empowered in the task of creating effective, useful, and peaceful lives. . .for ourselves, and for our posterity. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) | |

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change was a groundbreaker when it was first published in 1990, and it continues to be a business bestseller with more than 10 million copies sold. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as from business challenges. Before you can adopt the seven habits, you'll need to accomplish what Covey calls a "paradigm shift"--a change in perception and interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you through this change, which affects how you perceive and act regarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your "proactive muscles" (acting with initiative rather than reacting), and much more. This isn't a quick-tips-start-tomorrow kind of book. The concepts are sometimes intricate, and you'll want to study this book, not skim it. When you finish, you'll probably have Post-it notes or hand-written annotations in every chapter, and you'll feel like you've taken a powerful seminar by Covey. -- Joan Price(retrieved from Amazon Wed, 02 Jan 2013 22:52:40 -0500) (see all 8 descriptions) ▾Library descriptions A leading management consultant outlines seven organizational rules for improving effectiveness and increasing productivity at work and at home. » see all 12 descriptions |
