“You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage – pleasantly, smilingly, non-apologetically – to say no to other things.
And the way you do that is by having a bigger ‘YES’ burning inside.”
Author: Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Covey defines a habit as “the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire.” The seven habits outlined by Covey are: be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think “win-win,” seek first to understand — then to be understood, synergize and sharpen the saw.
