| a000d71 | Well, did anything interesting happen today?' [my father] would begin. And even before the daily question was completed I had eagerly launched into my narrative of every play, and almost every pitch, of that afternoon's contest. It never crossed my mind to wonder if, at the close of a day's work, he might find my lengthy account the least bit tedious. For there was mastery as well as pleasure in our nightly ritual. Through my knowledge, I c.. | family memoir | Doris Kearns Goodwin | |

| f97e5b2 | One evening, Lincoln listened as Stanton worked himself into a fury against one of the generals. "I would like to tell him what I think of him," Stanton stormed. "Why don't you," suggested Lincoln. "Write it all down." When Stanton finished the letter, he returned and read it to the president. "Capital," Lincoln said. "Now, Stanton, what are you going to do about it?" "Why, send it of course!" "I wouldn't," said the president. "Throw it in .. | Doris Kearns Goodwin | ||

| d296f4c | the joy to come front and center in your life, you also have to feel your emotions, even the sad ones. You have to mourn, let the tears pour out. If you bottle the sadness in, the joy gets bottled right along with it. | Ruth Westheimer | ||
| 17d7e64 | I actually look for things to smile about. If I'm going to a concert later that night and I start to feel in a bad mood, I think about the wonderful melodies I'll be hearing later. I make a conscious effort to be positive. And if you want the most joie de vivre in your life, that's what you must do as well. Negative thoughts will pop into your head, as they do to me and everybody. But why give in to those thoughts and allow your mood to be .. | Ruth Westheimer | ||

| 0776349 | Simple people with less education, sophistication, social ties, and professional obligations seem in general to have somewhat less difficulty in facing this final crisis than people of affluence who lose a great deal more in terms of material luxuries, comfort, and number of interpersonal relationships. | Elisabeth Kübler-Ross | ||

| 6fa3678 | But at the time of transition, your guides, your guardian angels, people whom you have loved and who have passed on before you, will be there to help you. We have verified this beyond a shadow of a doubt, and I say this as a scientist. There will always be someone to help you with this transition. | life-after-death psychopomp | Elisabeth Kübler-Ross | |
| 9d5f568 | A ship exists on the ocean, even if it sails out beyond the limits of our sight. The people in the ship have not vanished; they are simply moving to another shore. | Elisabeth Kübler-Ross | ||
| e5533ed | Tal vez el principal obstaculo que nos impide comprender la muerte es que nuestro inconsciente es incapaz de aceptar que nuestra existencia deba terminar. | Elisabeth Kübler-Ross | ||
| 3aed573 | Vive de tal forma que al mirar hacia atras no lamentes haber desperdiciado la existencia. Vive de tal forma que no lamentes las cosas que has hecho ni desees haber actuado de otra manera. Vive con sinceridad y plenamente. Vive. | Elisabeth Kübler-Ross | ||
| bf97077 | You can't be like me But be happy that you can't I see pain but I don't feel it I am like the old Tin Man. --THE AVETT BROTHERS, "TIN MAN" ACCORDING TO ELISABETH KUBLER-ROSS, THERE ARE FIVE stages of grief a person passes through after the death of a loved one: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance." | Colleen Hoover | ||
| 7c02bce | have found also, from my own experience, that it is essential not to take anything too personally. When you least expect it, dying people can make you the target of all their anger and blame. As Elisabeth Kubler-Ross says, anger and blame can "be displaced in all directions, and projected onto the environment at times almost at random."1 Do not imagine that this rage is really aimed at you; realizing what fear and grief it springs from will.. | Sogyal Rinpoche | ||
| 2cd43d1 | Ironically, you'll find that as you care less about what others think of you, you will care more about what others think of themselves and their worlds, including their relationship with you. You'll no longer build your emotional life on other people's weaknesses. In addition, you'll find it easier and more desirable to change because there is something--some core deep within--that is essentially changeless. | Stephen R. Covey | ||
| 8a7cd33 | While we must learn from good examples and keep always in mind the bigger goal, we must compare ourselves only with ourselves. We can't focus or base our happiness on another's progress; we can focus only on our own. | Stephen R. Covey | ||
| c9e81fe | For those filled with regret, perhaps the most needful exercise of proactivity is to realize that past mistakes are also out there in the Circle of Concern. We can't recall them, we can't undo them, we can't control the consequences that came as a result. | Stephen R. Covey | ||
| b50ed6b | Think about taking a trip on an airplane. Before taking off, the pilot has a very clear destination in mind, which hopefully coincides with yours, and a flight plan to get there. The plane takes off at the appointed hour toward that predetermined destination. But in fact, the plane is off course at least 90 percent of the time. Weather conditions, turbulence, and other factors cause it to get off track. However, feedback is given to the pil.. | Stephen R. Covey | ||

Covey | ||
| eb83fcb | I have seen the consequences of attempting to shortcut this natural process of growth often in the business world, where executives attempt to "buy" a new culture of improved productivity, quality, morale, and customer service with strong speeches, smile training, and external interventions, or through mergers, acquisitions, and friendly or unfriendly takeovers. But they ignore the low-trust climate produced by such manipulations. When thes.. | Stephen R. Covey | ||

| 8462405 | Most believe that the key to influence is communication--getting your point across clearly and speaking persuasively. In fact, if you think about it, don't you find that, while others are speaking to you, instead of really listening to understand, you are often busy preparing your response? | Stephen R. Covey | ||
| 7350f18 | The way you spend your time is a result of the way you see your time and the way you really see your priorities. | Stephen R. Covey | ||
| 43f64c7 | The little-understood concept of interdependence appears to many to smack of dependence, and therefore, we find people, often for selfish reasons, leaving their marriages, abandoning their children, and forsaking all kinds of social responsibility--all in the name of independence. | Stephen R. Covey | ||

| a1aea1c | It's not enough to dream. It's not enough to try. It's not enough to set goals or climb ladders. It's not enough to value. The effort has to be based on practical realities that produce the result. Only then can we dream, set goals, and work to achieve them with confidence. | Stephen R. Covey | ||
| 502e87a | My friend, love is a verb. Love--the feeling--is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that? | love marriage | Stephen R. Covey | |

| a228ff8 | 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 people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature. EZRA TAFT BENSON, | Stephen R. Covey | ||

| 856c838 | Urgency addiction is a self-destructive behavior that temporarily fills the void created by unmet needs.

| ce65ab0 | But you can't change the fruit without changing the root. | Stephen R. Covey | ||
| c1f9f77 | The more closely our maps or paradigms are aligned with these principles or natural laws, the more accurate and functional they will be | Stephen R. Covey | ||
| 9fe0cfd | The inside-out approach says that private victories precede public victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves precedes making and keeping promises to others. It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves. | Stephen R. Covey | ||
