Lessons from Stephen R Covey

1. Daily Reflections for Highly Effective People
-Stephen R. Covey.
▪ Each of us has many, many maps in our head which can be divided into two
main categories: 1) maps of the way things are, or realities, and 2) maps of the
way things should be, or values. We interpret everything we experience
through these mental maps.
▪ We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the
way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of those
assumptions.
▪ To focus on technique is like cramming your way through school.You
sometimes get by, perhaps even get good grades, but if you don’t pay the
price day in and day out, you never achieve true mastery of the subjects you
study or develop an educated mind.
