As well as everything else, Covey was a highly effective breeder, who created children in vast quantity (he had nine) many of whom went on to work for him. All nine of his offspring grew up in a big Utah household where the family’s personal mission statement was written on the wall. And all nine – with nine spouses in tow – were gathered around his deathbed last Monday; Covey’s 52 grandchildren were also close at hand.
除了是众多方面的高手之外,柯维还是一名极其高效的后代繁育者,他子女众多(有9个孩子),很多都继续为他工作。这9个孩子都在犹他州的大家庭中长大,在那里,这个家庭的个人使命宣言都写在了墙上。7月16日,他的9个孩子——还有他们的9个配偶——围在他的灵床周围;柯维的52个孙子孙女也在身边。
But what he was above all was a highly effective master of the soundbite. Twitter this week has been alive with his disciples repeating his words. Reading them, I am struck by what an odd mix they are. Some are annoying: “Live out of your imagination, not your history. Some are debatable, if not downright wrong: “Happiness, like unhappiness, is a proactive choice. Some are banal: “Live, love, laugh, leave a legacy. But some possess real wisdom: “Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.
但最重要的是,他是一位高效能的名句高手。最近他的信徒们在Twitter上热烈讨论着他说过的话。读着这些话,我被那种奇怪的组合所触动。一些言论颇让人烦恼:“活在想象力中,而不是活在过去。一些值得商榷、如果不是完全错误的话:“与不幸福一样,幸福是一种积极主动的选择。一些则平淡无奇:“生活、爱、笑、留下遗产。但还有一些充满真正的智慧:“我们多数人在紧急的事情上花费了太多时间,在重要的事情上花费的时间却不够。
