I came across a quote by Richard G. Scott. He is a leader in the LDS church, so the quote has deep religious significance, but I thought the principles really applied to discussion that was generated for 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
"We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day. Righteous character is a precious manifestation of what you are becoming. Righteous character is more valuable than any material object you own, any knowledge you have gained through study, or any goals you have attained no matter how well lauded by mankind.... Strong moral character results from consistent correct choices in the trials and testing of life."
So we can receive great gain in this life through different means, but like what Covey talks about, it's more about the inner person that makes you really successful. People can put up different fronts, they can act a certain way, but when it comes down to it it's more about the people we are. Anyway, thought it was a good correlation.
