Jim Rohn Quotes

I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change.

As we become serious about designing the future in advance, we derive an immediate emotional benefit. The future is exciting! The more clearly we see the future and the more keenly we sense its promise, the more positive our attitude becomes that we can and will achieve our dreams.

It is this new attitude that will provide us with renewed ambition for progress and the faith that we really can move mountains.

Those who will not read are no better off than those who can't read

Whenever our lives are turned upside down, we have only to find something worth doing to change things for the better. We must do it with wavering confidence in the beginning. We may have to do it despite the presence of fear. But inevitably, our doubts and fears will step aside when our unyielding commitment to take action comes into the picture. The results produced by these initial acts of faith will become the foundation upon which to build a whole new life.

Results are more than just an objective; they are the seeds of future joy and prosperity. Every result we experience, no matter how small, is another certain step taken toward a life of achievement.

When you work, work; and when you play, play. Mixing the two never works. All you end up doing is cheating yourself both ways. If you work and play at the same time, you’ll miss the joy that comes from great accomplishment and the complete release that is the gift of pure play.

You need to be making measurable progress in reasonable time. All life asks is that we make measurable progress in reasonable time. As parents, managers, and coworkers, we’ve got to be reasonable with time

motivation alone is not enough.if you have an idiot and you motivate him,now you have a motivated idiot.

Managers help people see themselves as they are; Leaders help people to see themselves better than they are.

Don't read a book and be a follower; read a book and be a student.

Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.

IT’S HARD TO KEEP THAT WHICH HAS NOT BEEN OBTAINED THROUGH PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.

Ignorance
is not bliss. Ignorance is tragedy. Ignorance is
devastation. Ignorance creates lack. Ignorance
creates disease. Ignorance will shorten your life.
Ignorance will empty your life and leave you with
the husks, nothing to account for. No, ignorance is
not bliss.
Here’s another note to make: What you don’t know
will hurt you. What you don’t know will tragically
affect your life. What you don’t know will leave
your life empty. What you don’t know will leave
you without a relationship. We’re all affected by
knowledge, whether we know or whether we don’t
know. That’s why you’ve got to read the books.

Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
