Jim Rohn

Your personal philosophy is the greatest determining factor in how your life works out.

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear.

When the record book on you is finished, let it show your wins and losses. But don't let it show you didn't try.

Learn from the negative as well as the positive, from the failures as well as the successes.

Neglect starts out as an infection then becomes a disease.

The millionaire says to a thousand people, 'I read this book and it started me on the road to wealth.' Guess how many go out and get the book? Very few. Isn't that incredible? Why wouldn't everyone get the book?!

The key to life is to become skillful enough to be able to do rewarding things.

Make sure what you do is a product of your own conclusion.

Don't borrow someone else's plan. Develop your own philosophy and it will lead you to unique places.

I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

Never begrudge the money you spend on your own education.

Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express. If you have a limited vocabulary, you will also have a limited vision and a limited future.

Once you have seen and felt your ideal future, you will be ready and able to pay any price to get there.

The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.

Don't bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don't feel well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the bank, but not the marketplace.

Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you're signed up for a season, see it through. You don't have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.

We get paid for bringing value to the market place.

Make measurable progress in reasonable time.

Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness.

Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.
