Habits my Grandfather, who lived 98 years and still ran the farm, told me: "Eat when hungry, drink when dry, keep on breathing and yo will never die." Also "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday Sun." I am over 60, bike all the time without a helmet -- I have one, perhaps I should wear it? Ill start tomorrow.
Those "teachers" know well their *principles* aren't worth a shoot.
It amazes me how many people get rich in America just by blabbing nonsence and producing nothing but a shallow cult.
OK, Romney, see ya later.
The statemnt about the helmet was made shortly after the accident in April when doctors didn't think there was serious damage. Covey didn't die ubtil July. Because doctors thought Covy would be ok, the statement made in April is perfectly logical.
His books, like Dr Phil and other meme slingers, were indeed cheesy...
The usual "common sense" issues re-wrapped in another book to hype up and market. It's not the messages, but how he sold them that ended up applying more weight to success. To succeed, you need a silver tongue and know how to game the system... he knew that and, to my knowledge, he didn't do anything unethical so there's little to actually criticize...
My condolences to his family for their loss, but 79 - all things considered - is a pretty good run. Many people aren't as fortunate. Must be the business.
seems like so many have consulting and training businesses these days. all that consulting and training must not be doing much good because nearly everything is made in china.
Ouch. There are things I can be cynical of, but accidents can happen to any one at any time. He was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. As a human, I do have feelings.
Maybe his book had a chapter on what to do if one's business ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time, and in this new normal economy to serve up entertaining yet empty flapdoodle to raise one's spirits and profit off of peddling such false hopes might be just what the doctor ordered... so, philosophically speaking I'm a tad ambivalent. Who said life was simple, and would such a person be believed?
That accident could have happened to anybody. I'm an avid cyclist and a lot younger but I hope when I'm his age I'll be zooming down a steep hill on my bike. Sans crashing of course!

How was the helmet good news? he's still DEAD!
