I've read "the 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People" more times than I can count.

Despite that fact that Covey was a Mormon and the girl who recommended the book to me is one of the most annoying people I've ever met, I got a lot out of Covey's time management ideas.

Nothing wrong with Mormons.

RIP Stephen Covey... learned a lot from you. Thank you for that.

I should have rephrased that, what I meant to say was that his writing has a collectivist slant due to his faith, but I dug it all anyway.

Dying from a bike accident aged 79. That's a good way to go.

Uh, what?

They think there is a god flying around on a spherical glass chariot that will one day make them a god equal to him if they oppress women, wear their magic underwear, and baptize enough dead people. They are second only to Scientology on the fucking crazy scale.

Fuck all there isn't anything wrong with them.

...wear their magic underwear...

Hold up, they have magic underwear? Dammit! I want some. My boys are feeling left out in the cold, bro.

I implore every WF member who ever learned anything from Mr. Covey to donate some red blocks to your Rep bar in his memory.

Loved his book... RIP

Belief = position = opinion = thought = changing = false

All beliefs are false, especially and including atheist beliefs.

"All metaphysical discussion is profitless unless it causes us to seek within the Self for the true reality. All controversies about creation, the nature of the universe, evolution, the purpose of God, etc., are useless. They are not conducive to our true happiness. People try to find out about things which are outside of them before they try to find out “Who am I?” Only by the latter means can happiness be gained."

Sad to hear. I still have the audio to his book on my iPod. Good stuff. RIP.

Sad. Back in the day when I was around 14, I read his son's book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens."

Why do you care what Mormons believe? Just b/c you don't like someone's religious beliefs = good riddance when the guy dies?

You and Hitler think alike...

I never commented on the thread topic you dimwitted fucktard, only on MORMONS. Go back to slinging slurpies at your day job and leave complicated things like reading comprehension to the grown ups.

Also, Godwin's law FTW.
