Stephen Covey

Wpierw staraj się zrozumieć, a potem być zrozumianym.

Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Nothing is more exciting and bonding in relationships than creating together

In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.

Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.

Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world.

Our character is a composite of our habits.

Begin with the end in mind.

Większość ludzi nie słucha cię z zamiarem zrozumienia. Większość ludzi słucha chcąc odpowiedzieć.

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand. Most people listen with the intent to reply.

Nie jestem produktem moich okoliczności. Jestem produktem moich decyzji.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
