A personal note of Stephen Covey
As I conclude this book, I would like to share my own personal conviction concerning what I believe to be the source of correct principles. I believe that correct principles are natural laws, and that God, the Creator and Father of us all, is the source of them, and also the source of our conscience. I believe that to the degree people live by this inspired conscience, they will grow to fulfill their natures; to the degree that they do not, they will not rise above the animal plane.
I believe that there are parts to human nature that cannot be reached by either legislation or education, but require the power of God to deal with. I believe that as human beings, we cannot perfect ourselves. To the degree to which we align ourselves with correct principles, divine endowments will be released within our nature in enabling us to fulfill the measure of our creation. In the words of Teilhard De Chardin, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
A personal note of Stephen Covey
I personally struggle with much of what I have shared in this book. But the struggle is worthwhile and fulfilling. It gives meaning to my life and enables me to love, to serve, and to try again.
Again, T.S. Eliot expresses so beautifully my own personal discovery and conviction: “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.”
Read the following paragraph.
"Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabridge Uinvervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the litteers in a word are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and

“ We can safely conclude that it is unwise to
start building a house without a vision and a
plan ”
21
Just as it is unwise to start building your
house without a plan, it is unwise to start
your day, your week, your month, your year
and your life without a vision and a plan
21
We at Timelenders suggest that before we start our day we should invest………¬At least 45 minutes to vision and plan our
day¬At least 4 hours to vision and plan our week¬At least 8 hours to vision and plan our
month¬And at least 3 days to vision and plan our
year
21
“ Long range planning does not deal with
future decision, but with the future of present
decision ”
What you do in these 45 minutes, 4 hours
and 8 hours is the focus of our training
I don’t have 45 minutes in the beginning of the day?
Why 45 minutes? Why not more or less?
The modules of planning that we introduce take about this much time the actual time will depend on the individual.
Are these 45 minutes included in 2 hours?
Learning to SayNo !
Be soft on a person, hard on the principle.
My greatest mistake in life is that I said yes when I should’ve said no
Your ability to say ‘yes’‘yes’ and keep your word lies in your ability to say ‘no’.
Suleman Ahmer
The higher the balance in the account, the easier
for you to say “No”
Courage is not the absence of fear, It is the conscious understanding that
there is something more important than fear.

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where –" said Alice. "Then it doesn't matter which way you go,"
said the Cat. "– so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as
an explanation. "Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if
you only walk long enough."

“It is a terrible thing to see but have no vision.”

…I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, that one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers…
…Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal.“…

Do not grieve that Roses have thorns
Rejoice that thorns have Roses.
It is better to plan for a year andexecute in a day than
to plan in a day and execute ina year.
Long range planning does not dealwith future decision, but with the
future of present decision.
Planning is not predicting the future, it is the best course of action at this time.
You should not be without a plan at any given point in your life.
If you are failing to plan you are planning to fail.
Think a 100 times before you make a decision but once you make a decision stand
by it as one man.
A good time manager may or may not be a successful person but every successful person must be a good time manager.
It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars,
but it is a disgrace to have no stars to
reach.
It is not the reality that matters, It is the “perception” of reality that
matters in human behavior.
If you don’t sweat in peaceyou will bleed in war

GLORIA STEINEM: Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming,
after all, is a form of planning.

• Khaterah-> thought ->determination -> words -> deeds -> habits
• It is easier to reject the khaterah/thought than to change a habit.
• The earlier you stop the easier it is.• A human is like a never stopping grinder. We put
<flour> in a grinder, but sometimes we put some mud or stones in it which corrupts the output. Even worse, sometimes we allow others to put it.
• it is easier to stop the person from putting unwanted things rather than trying to clean the outcome (grinded)
