The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Stephen R. Covey) / quote 39 of 203

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.
