BEFORE MOVING INTO THE AREA OF PUBLIC VICTORY

"…….we should remember that effective interdependence can only be built on a foundation of true independence.

Private Victory precedes Public Victory.

As we look back and survey the terrain to determine where we've been and where we are in relationship to where we're going, we clearly see that we could not have gotten where we are without coming the way we came.

There aren't any other roads; there aren't any shortcuts. There's no way to parachute into this terrain. The landscape ahead is covered with the fragments of broken relationships of people who have tried. They've tried to jump into effective relationships without the maturity, the strength of character, to maintain them.

But you just can't do it; you simply have to travel the road. Habits 1, 2, and 3 come before the rest."

— The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: 30th Anniversary Edition by Stephen R. Covey
