Jim Rohn was considered a “Business Philosopher”. He did not claim to teach novel truths, only fundamentals – and as he was fond of saying: “There are no new fundamentals. Truth is not new, it’s old. You’ve got to be a little suspicious of the guy who says, ‘come over here, I want to show you my manufactured antiques!’ No, you can’t manufacture antiques.” Whoever rendered service to many put himself in line for greatness – great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy.
“Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.”
“Don’t just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.”
“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.”
“The most important question to ask in a job is not what am I getting but what am I becoming.”
Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands to experience touch, or to hold another hand with. Or what about being born without legs? Having no ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand on two feet. Now put both of those scenarios together no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that effect your everyday life?
