Quote by Stephen Covey, The 7 Habits of H

You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courageÂ—pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically, to say Â“noÂ” to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger Â“yesÂ” burning inside. The enemy of the Â“bestÂ” is often the Â“good".
