I fly myself everywhere. I like all kinds of flying, including practical flying for search and rescue. And I also like to fly into the backcountry, usually the Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho. I go with a group of friends, and we set up camp for about five days and explore little dirt strips and canyons. - Harrison Ford
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us. - Stephen Covey
Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important. - Stephen Covey
We often get so busy "sawing" (producing results) that we forget to "sharpen our saw" (maintain or increase our capacity to produce results in the future). - Stephen Covey
Look at the word responsibility-"response-ability"-the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling. - Stephen Covey
Be a light, not a judge, be a model not a critic. Little by little, your circle of influence will explode and you will avoid the emotional metastasizing cancers of complaining, criticizing, competing, comparing and cynicism, all which reflect victimization, all of which are the opposite of being proactive. - Stephen Covey
The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person. Reactive people are driven by feelings, by circumstances, by conditions, by their environment. Proactive people are driven by values - carefully thought about, selected and internalized values. - Stephen Covey
Principles don't die. They aren't here one day and gone the next. They can't be destroyed by fire, earthquake or theft. Principles are deep, fundamental truths, classic truths. - Stephen Covey
Improve relationships with others by assuming that they can hear everything you say about them. - Stephen Covey
It doesn't really matter how fast you're going if you're heading in the wrong direction. - Stephen Covey
When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it's like giving them emotional oxygen. - Stephen Covey
Habit 1: Be Proactive Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind Habit 3: Put First Things First Habit 4: Think Win/Win Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood Habit 6: Synergize Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. - Stephen Covey
The problems in life come when we're sowing one thing and expecting to reap something entirely different. - Stephen Covey
Too many vacations that last too long, too many movies, too much TV, too much video game playing - too much undisciplined leisure time in which a person continually takes the course of least resistance gradually wastes a life. It ensures that a person's capacities stay dormant, that talents remain undeveloped, that the mind and spirit become lethargic and that the heart remains unfulfilled. - Stephen Covey
We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us. - Stephen Covey
Anything less than a conscious commitment to the important is an unconscious commitment to the unimportant. - Stephen Covey
It takes humility to seek feedback. It takes wisdom to understand it, analyze it and appropriately act on it. - Stephen Covey
