Jim Rohn

If you want to live a top shelf life then you need to stand on the books you have read. Never stop learning, never stop growing.

Stand guard at the door of your mind.

The amount you give isn't important. What matters is what that amount represents in terms of your life.

You are what you are today because of the choices you made in the past

The soil says, don't bring me your need, bring me your seed.

Be a student, not a follower. Take interest in what someone says, then debate it, ponder it, and consider it from all angles.

A well-fashioned day - with a beginning and an end, a purpose and a content, a color and a character, a feel and a texture - takes it place among the many and becomes a valuable memory and treasure. At midnight the winged messengers come and gather up all these pieces and take them off to wherever the mosaic is kept. And surely, on occasion, one messenger says to another, 'Wait 'til you see this one.'

Discipline means we don't let go of the things we know we should be doing, we do them!

The rich invest their money and spend what is left; the poor spend their money and invest what is left.

So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, I don't offer a solution, I ask a question: What are our options? Give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. Give me the options. All I want are options. And once I have all the options before me, then I comfortably and confidently make my decision.

Well chosen words mixed with measured emotions is the basis of affecting people.

Fascination is one step beyond interest. Interested people want to know if it works. Fascinated people want to learn how it works.

There is nothing more pitiful than a ready and willing mind but an incapable body.

Goals are like a magnet - they pull. And the stronger they are, the more purposeful they are, the bigger they are, the more unique they are, the stronger they pull.

We must not mistake kindness for weakness. Kindness isn't weak. Kindness is a certain type of strength.

Choose action, not rest. Choose the good in life in all things, and choose the opportunity as well as the chance to work when springtime smiles on your face.

There is something magical about putting a problem in writing. It is almost as though by writing about what is wrong, you start to discover new ways of making it right.

Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is poverty. Ignorance is devastation. Ignorance is tragedy. And ignorance is illness. It all stems from ignorance.

Life is a process of accumulation. We either accumulate the debt or the value, the regret or the equity.

Remind yourself that you're bound to get better. Don't get down on yourself. Don't beat yourself up. It's the next opportunity that matters, not the last one.

An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.
