Covey: Our Response Hurts Us

Most of the time when I read books on personal development or improvement, I've found wisdoms echoed in those works in conformity with the teachings of Islam. The Western scholars are great at marketing these words and packaging them into beautiful and presentable modules -- the effort which we are far lagging behind. 

One of the great trainers of this age is no doubt Stephen R. Covey with his work, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I came across his interesting words:

It's not what happens to us, but our response to what happens to us that hurts us.

Reflect!
