Quote from Stephen R. Covey:
Effective people stay out of Quadrants III and IV because, urgent or not, they aren’t important. They also shrink Quadrant I down to size by spending more time in Quadrant II…Quadrant II is the heart of effective personal management.
Simimal Quotes:
T. S. Eliot
We must not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time.
Dan Millman
Every positive change--every jump to a higher level of energy and awareness--involves a rite of passage. Each time to ascend to a higher rung on the ladder of personal evolution, we must go through a period of discomfort, of initiation. I have never found an exception.
Jack Kerouac
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Leo Buscaglia
This loving person is a person who abhors waste--waste of time, waste of human potential. How much time we waste. As if we were going to live forever.
Stephen R. Covey
Synergy is everywhere in nature. If you plant two plants close together, the roots commingle and improve the quality of the soil so that both plants will grow better than if they were separated. If you put two pieces of wood together, they will hold much more than the total weight held by each separately. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. One plus one equals three or more.
Byron Katie
Some of us are returning to sanity, because we’re tired of the pain. We’re in a hurry. No time to mess around.
John Eliot, Ph.D.
High achievers dwell on what they do well and spend very little time evaluating themselves and their performances.
Timothy Ferriss
Most inputs are useless and time is wasted in proportion to the amount that is available.
Byron Katie
I realized that it’s insane to oppose it. When I argue with reality, I lose—but only 100% of the time. How do I know that the wind should blow? It’s blowing!
Leo Buscaglia
Child development: Most damaging course of action is attempting to keep children from experience or protect them from pain, for it is this time that children learn that life is a magic thing, if "not a rose garden." The parent's role is primarily to stand by with a good supply of band-aids.
Emerson
Every time you wink the stars move.
