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

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

You cannot succeed by yourself. It's hard to find a rich hermit.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

What is powerful is when what you say is just the tip of the iceberg of what you know.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

Ignorance is NOT bliss. Ignorance is poverty.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

We can no more afford to spend major time on minor things than we can to spend minor time on major things.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

Never begin the day until it is finished on paper.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to an hour.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

Everything you need for your better future and success has already been written. And guess what? It's all available. All you have to do is go to the library. But guess what? Only three percent of people in America have a library card. Wow, they must be expensive! No, they're free! Probably in every neighbourhood. Three percent!

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

We must all carry the weight of discipline or regret. Discipline weighs ounces, regret weighs tons.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

If you don't like where you are, change it! You're not a tree.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day. Failure is a few simple errors in judgement repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines or our judgements that leads us to either fortune or failure.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

Learn to be happy with all that you have, whilst pursuing all that you want.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

The most important question to ask on the job is not "what am I getting?" - the most important question to ask is "what am I becoming?".

JIM ROHN

[jimrohn]

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