Author and Organizational Behaviorist, Stephen R. Covey, passed away this morning (July 16) from issues incident to a bicycling accident.

When it comes to "Making an Impression", he was an original and an exemplary person.

My wife's not too happy with how he died. I ride my bike to work most days and she doesn't like it. I have to remind her that he was going down a steep hill when he lost control. Still a sad event. First, Ray Bradbury, then Andy Griffith, Ernest Borgnine, now Mr. Covey.

@2ffat, I doubt she'll be over the moon with the news of Bardley Wiggins, and Shane Sutton (TeamGB cycling coach) involved in seperate accidents last night/this morning, and they know what they're doing ;-)

I didn't realize that he had passed.

The 7 habits were life-changing for me; in fact, I have them printed out and hanging above my desk at work.


Just my 2¢
