Stephen Covey and The Seven (7) Habits of Highly Effective People: "Things that matter most must never be put at the mercy of things that matter least
Stephen Covey quotes the following: "Things that matter most must never be put at the mercy of things that matter least." So far so good. Nothing to argue with here!
Covey, in his Seven Habits book (STEPHEN COVEY SEVEN (7) HABITS BOOKS: Click ON ME
), goes on to say something much more profound: (in effect) "Things which matter THE most should not be sacrificed or neglected for things which matter less, or only somewhat."Covey's suggestion here gives pause for thought. It might seem like a good idea to get involved in something positive, wholesome, engaging, productive, and contributory to society, but is it causing you to neglect more important things? I will leave anyone reading this post to mull this over. It is a profound point...

Hi this is ruby, sorry I just saw your comment on my 7habit post
I find the quotes to be very logical and true, as if it was meant to be a reminder to stop and ponder simply because we get swept away with less important things and when we discover what we had to sacrifice, it might be too late.
Oh and btw, I stopped the series because I did not find enough enthusiastic commentators.
