Help answer the question about success people
Why does success change some people for the worst?
Meaning the persons personality changes for the worst. Like you see some people who went from rags to riches, but totally dismiss others who were truly there for them in their time of need and helped them along their path to success.

Excellent. I Love Stephen R Covey. Because of Him I am living meaning life. To me, there is no greater book than 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Covey’s point about the space between stimulus and response is brilliant, but I believe there’s more to it than that. For example, if my stimulus tells me I’m angry, but I decide to respond with a smile, that’s great, but it’s disingenuous.
I’ve worked on understanding WHY I feel a particular stimulus, otherwise I’m not addressing the real me. “Laughin’ on the outside, cryin’ on the inside” doesn’t work!
Becoming aware that you have a choice in so many more areas of life than you may think is such an important practice. Thanks for this!
My company sent a few of us to a four day training this week in the 7 habits of effective people signature program. I must say this program is the best training I have ever been to.
Sure we all know things like ‘change must come from within before you can change others’ but this program is about how to do it and hold yourself accountable. Not how to think about it.
Steven covey is amazing.
After reading Covey’s book I became a lot more focused and changed my life from being a full time retail worker to a university student on the Deans merit list. His work is that powerful. Everyone should read his book
i think at the start of a journey to reinvent ones self there is a period of difficult struggle… very difficult.. i think a lot of ppl (includin myself) get stuck here and then fall back to position 1. I think we all need to just put in all th effort to get past this stage. Just think “what can I do to make this goal/plan work, what can I do as an extra? just to help it work?”
then JUST DIVE INTO IT.. do what your suppose to not what you feel like doing.
Meeting Stephen Covey is one of my life goals. I think just to see if how I feel in meeting him is as powerful as when I listen to him or read him books. What do you guy’s think? is it real or is it a book selling program? I think it’s real but I’d like to hear what other people think for sure. Hi from Canada bye the bye!
Thne Jews really didn't want the Messiah at that time but another Moses to free them from the Romans!
I feel for you – I also have 2 pups – lab mix litter mates, brother & sister. I've read alot on the internet that's negative about have 2 puppies at the same time. But if you have the time (I work from a home office), patience, money and energy it is a wonderful, heartwarming, rewarding experience. It helps that my vet has been very supportive of our having two pups. My pups teach eachother and learn quickly and they sleep through the night without a problem. So far they've been EASIER to potty train than I expected because they learn from eachother. of course they get in twice as much trouble but it just means we have to supervise and make the effort to train them all the more.
We are being very careful about making sure they bond with us as well as eachother and make sure to spend time alone with each of them. So far, it's a fantastic (although exhausting) life changing experience and I wouldn't trade having two over one for anything!
I did the same thing when I got cats years ago, I found raising two at the same time shows you how different their personalities are and let's you appreciate their differences.
Ask any parent of twins if it's worth it
The hardest thing? Getting them to answer to their individual names! They will both respond to either name so far, so we'll spend more time one on one with that.
Good luck and ignore all those negative people!

That or the media.
Cause my life sucks, that's why.
edit…also jealous of other peoples thumbs ups
Billionaires.

But, Both Stephen and Sean are inspiring!
i love covey
I once met a man who told me that her was retired, and in his early ‘40’s. He told me that he had enough money that he would never have to work another day in his life, but would trade it all for a happy home life.
If fame and fortune make people happy, then why in the world are so many of the people out in Hollywood getting married/divorced so many times? Why are they constantly in/out of rehab for drugs/alcohol?
My mother-in-law of 36 years was born a few years before the Great Depression. She was born poor, raised and married poor, lived poor all of her life, and more likely than not, will die poor. Having said that, I can honestly say that I would not trade her for the richest mother-in-law in Hollywood.
While financially I do not have much money, I am in reality a multi-millionaire. At the age of 62, I have never been hungry in my life (not saying that I’ve never missed a meal…just saying that I have never been hungry such as those poor people in Darfur or North Korea). I have always had a roof over my head, shoes on my feet, clothes on my back, and food on the table. I have been without a job only 6 weeks in my working career.
My wife has ALWAYS put God 1st in our marriage, our children 2nd, me 3rd, and herself last. I’ve seen her take the money that she has saved up to buy herself something that she has wanted for a long time (for example, a Singer sewing machine), go out and buy presents for children that she knew would NOT have ANYTHING for Christmas.
Luke 12:15
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Proverbs 13:7
“There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches”
Yes, I’m rich, but not in ways that most people would think of being wealthy. God has blessed me all of my life. My adult children still go to church faithfully, and bring their children with them.
Wouldn’t trade any aspect of my life for any amount of money in the world.
The evolution of the three basic habits have you manage yourself and is the best way to deal with dependancy of others. The next three habits allow yourself to explore your abilities as a leader and effective parent. The final habit allows you to leverage the best in those around you.
Hard work, talent, luck, and connections. Different ratios of these can make different people succeful.
For us to avoid success we must consider first the absurdity of the desire for material goods. Fools believe that if they could only achieve wealth, their wills can be completely gratified. A man of means is supposed to be a man with means for the fulfillment of every desire.
People are often reproached for wishing for money above all things, and for loving it more than anything else. But it is natural and even inevitable for people to love that which, like an unwearied Proteus, is always ready to turn itself into whatever object their wandering wishes or their manifold desires may fix upon. Everything else can satisfy only one wish: money alone is absolute good because it is the abstract satisfaction of every wish.
Nevertheless, a life devoted to the acquisition of wealth is useless unless we know how to turn into joy and this is an art that requires culture and wisdom. A succession of sensual pursuits never satisfies for long. One must understand the ends of life as well as the art of acquiring means.
Great question! Have a wonderful day.
thanks mr. Covey
A sense of entitlement. When anyone does not begin with a decent amount of humbleness you see any success act like a spark to a flame. A person who is humble to begin with realizes where he started from.
Jealousy and they regret not trying harder in their life to get to that point. Wishing they had listened to their parents.
Definitely Mr. Covey has inspired people and changes lifes. Thanking for sharing with us this great work!
I dont think its necessarily "smarter" than you are, but that they have skills which you lack or enjoy performing tasks which you do not.
Stephen R Covey is my unseen GURU
It's a little of both.
Everyone has genes that make up everything from their apperance, to their personality, to intelligence, social skills, etc.
Now while one person may have better genes than another.. it all comes down to What You Do With It.
Combined that with people who can not just conform to the specific sometimes mundane goals of society.. but they can conform those goals around themselves..
That is what makes someone great or successful.
Stepping a little beyond what they are or can be.

i am going to buy this book
As far as "working for other people" …you give yourself a pretty sizeable obstacle to deal with by dropping out of high school.
But the sky is the limit as far as creating success in a business of your own. You don't need a diploma or a college degree….but you do need alot of self education.
Maybe the "System" of highschool just isn't doing it for you….but you still need to find a desire to learn and be at the top of your game when it comes to business and marketing.
In business…the ONLY goal is to make and keep customers ( not to sell stuff)…so any knowledge and skills that create the opportunity for you to be able to do that better/easier…then those skills and knowledge are what you spend your time pursuing. If you become a master at making and keeping customers…then you absolutely cannot fail.
Alot of business owners think the goal is to sell stuff…they are wrong..and they usually go out of business at some point.
They don't realize that everything in their company…and I mean EVERYTHING….has to work toward Making and Keeping Customers…if it does not..then it is a waste of time.
I'm talking about …employees….policies….procedures….you….your advertising…your product and service….everything.
The ability to make and keep customers is the key to success.
Good Luck
The system was put in place in 1975 by a Democrat, then Gov. Edwin Edwards. In the 1970s, the South was still largely a Democratic stronghold, and incumbents like Edwards often faced their stiffest challenges in Democratic primaries. So Edwards pushed to do away with the traditional party-primary system. The strategy paid off. In 1975, facing weak opposition, he cruised to re-election.
The open primary has been criticized for forcing voters go to the polls twice in the space of a month, which tends to depress turnout. Some academics contend that it favors incumbents (who can afford to campaign twice) while others say it aids fringe candidates (who can get just enough votes to force a runoff). In 1991 David Duke used the open primary system to force a runoff with Edwards. Thus originated the famous bumper sticker: "Vote for the Crook: It's Important."
copied from article written by By Chris Mooney
Some people voted for Duke when, the national media and other states started saying they wouldn't visit the State or due business with LA if he got elected. People here don't like to be told who to vote for or threatened.
both Duke & Edwards have been arrested and jailed, something I thought I would never see. La is improving if ever so slowly.
they had rumors that Bush was going to pardon Edie but it didn't happen.
