This morning I was blessed with this compilation in my Inbox and felt deep down that everyone in the world must know this and how else but to publish it in my space. Without much ado - here is my favorite mentor of all times - besides Brian Tracy. I am sure I shall have something from him soon... Meanwhile enjoy this and the rest of your life.... Love!
WINNING
"The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender." -- Vince Lombardi
"Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory." -- General George S. Patton
"Far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory, nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt
"My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out." -- Ronald Reagan
WISDOM
"It is important to remember that the real joy of achievement is in the challenge, not in the accomplishment. In an ever-changing world, the eternal wisdom of the ages never changes: The road to heaven is heaven." -- Denis Waitley
"All human wisdom is summed up in two words - wait and hope." -- Alexander Dumas
"To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step in knowledge." -- Benjamin Disraeli
"To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future." -- Plutarch
WORDS/VOCABULARY
"The two great words of antiquity are behold and beware." -- Jim Rohn
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." -- Mother Teresa
"It is with words as with sunbeams, the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn." -- Robert Southey
"Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs." -- Pearl Strachan
Enterprise is Better Than Ease by Jim Rohn
If we are involved in a project, how hard should we work at it? How much time should we put in?
Our philosophy about activity and our attitude about hard work will affect the quality of our lives. What we decide about the rightful ratio of labor to rest will establish a certain work ethic. That work ethic - our attitude about the amount of labor we are willing to commit to future fortune - will determine how substantial or how meager that fortune turns out to be.
Enterprise is always better than ease. Every time we choose to do less than we could, this error in judgment has an effect on our self-confidence. Repeated every day, we soon find ourselves not only doing less than we should, but also being less than we could. The accumulative effect of this error in judgment can be devastating.
--- FORTUNATELY, IT IS EASY TO REVERSE THE PROCESS ---
Any day we choose we can develop a new discipline of doing rather than neglecting. Every time we choose action over ease or labor over rest, we develop an increasing level of self-worth, self-respect and self-confidence. In the final analysis, it is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives. It is activity that converts human dreams into human reality, and that conversion from idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can come from no other source.
So feel free to not only engage in enterprise, but also to enjoy it to it's fullest along with all the benefits that are soon to come!
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
