1. LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY by Jim Rohn
Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that's not
necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the
opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health,
success and fortune. Knocking on someone's door may not be
something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what
might be behind that door.
For example, a guy says, "I'm digging ditches. Should I love
digging ditches?" The answer is, "No, you don't have to love
digging ditches, but if it is your first entry onto the ladder of
success, you say, 'I'm glad somebody gave me the
opportunity to dig ditches and I'm going to do it so well, I won't
be here long.'"
You can be inspired by having found something even though you are
making mistakes in the beginning and even though
it is a little distasteful taking on a new discipline that you
haven't learned before. You don't have to love it, you just
have to learn to appreciate America, appreciate opportunity and
appreciate the person who brought you the good news;
that found you.
Appreciate the person who believed in you before you believed in
yourself, appreciate the person who said, "Hey, if I can do it,
you can do it."
If you will embrace the disciplines associated with the new
opportunity you will soon find that your self-confidence starts to
grow, that you go from being a skeptic to being a believer. And
soon when you go out person to person, talking to people, you will
find it to be the most thrilling opportunity in the world. Every
person you meet - what could it be?
Unlimited! Maybe a friend for life. The next person could be an
open door to retiring. The next person could be a
colleague for years to come. It's big time stuff. And sometimes
in the beginning when we are just getting started we don't always
see how big it is.
So, before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember
all success is based on long term commitment,
faith, discipline, attitude and a few stepping stones along the
way. You might not like the stone you are on right now, but it's
sure to be one of the stones that lead to great opportunities in
the future.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind
DESIRE/MOTIVATION by Jim Rohn
Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what the must
have. But there is a difference between a "must" and a "want."
The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, "I wish
someone would come by and turn me on." What if they
don't show up? You've got to have a better plan for your life.
When you know what you want, and you want it bad enough, you will
find a way to get it.
Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you
motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot.
Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.
Vitamins for the Mind are a weekly sampling of original quotes, on
a specific topic, taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn.
TTOQ, a beautiful burgundy hardbound book with gold foil
lettering, is a collection of over 365 quotes on 60 topics
gathered from Jim's personal journals, seminars and books spanning
over 35 years. To order or to get more information on the TTOQ by
Jim Rohn, or Excerpts from the TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy,

3. MOTIVATION VERSES MANIPULATION by Zig Ziglar
The word "motivation" is often confused with manipulation.
Motivation occurs when you persuade others to take an
action in their own best interests. Things such as people
preparing their homework, accepting responsibility for their
performance, and finishing their education are the results of
motivation. Manipulation is persuading others to take an action
that is primarily for your benefit. Things such as selling an
inferior product at an inflated price and working people overtime
with no extra pay are examples of manipulation.
Manipulation self-destructs the individual doing the manipulating.
Word gets out on manipulators, and people grow less and less
likely to respond in a positive manner to their manipulation.
Productivity declines. Leadership occurs when you persuade a
person to take an action that is in your mutual best interests.
Comparing motivation to manipulation is like comparing kindness to
deceit. The difference is the intent of the person. Motivation
will cause people to act out of free choice and desire, while
manipulation often results in forced compliance. One is ethical
and long lasting; the other is unethical and temporary.
Leaders and motivators are winners; manipulators are losers who
produce resentment and discord. Become a motivator,
lead your people, and don't manipulate them.

"Good people are found not changed. Recently I read a headline
that said, 'We don't teach people to be nice. We simply hire nice
people.' Wow! What a clever short cut." Jim Rohn
4. Jim Rohn Testimonials - April 11 - 18
Here is a sampling of the testimonials and comments we received
this past week from E-zine subscribers.
Jim, I begin each day with your words from "The Treasury of
Quotes" and I share them with my organizational leaders around the
country. It's part of our morning routine and without your wisdom
to start our day, we are run down by noon. We appreciate you so
much....
-- Bill Bedell Rexall
The other day we received our order for Jim's book "The Five Major
Pieces to the Life Puzzle." My wife and I each took our own book
and have been drying out our florescent highlighters! I have been
involved with teaching self development
for over 25 years. This book blew me away!!!
It's an absolute must for EVERYONE....especially during this
Internet Generation. We went from broke to financially free based
on marketing via the Internet. We give TONS of credit to the
mentoring of Jim Rohn.
Deeply appreciative! Aloha from Maui :-)
-- Michael Klimek
Vitamins for the Mind are the best tools I have in my mental
toolbox. It's amazing how easy doors open when you have the right key!
Thank you Jim Rohn.
-- Jim White
I THINK JIM OFFERS THE MOST SAGE AND MOST HELPFUL ADVICE THAT I
HAVE EVER COME ACROSS AND I LISTEN TO HIM DAILY.
-- Michael G. Romell New England Securities
I had purchased the Power of Ambition and listened to it many
times because it is an exceptional piece of work and I would
always grasp something new each time. I still listen to it today
and I have had it since it first released. I think that was 4
years ago. Powerful!
-- Eileen Colgan, Blackbird Fiduciary Fund
Jim, Hello! My name is Dale Nabors, and I work with The Dwyer
Group. You may remember TDG from having spoken at our Annual
Convention a few years ago. I have all of your tapes and I am a
subscriber of your weekly E-zine. I have
"borrowed" your "Ant Philosophy" verbiage and I use it on a
regular basis in my career. It was nice to see it as the feature
in this weeks e-zine. Thanks for helping me stay Green & Growing
through your books and tapes. Believe & Succeed,
-- Dale Nabors
Dear Jim, What a blessing you are to me. Your words are like

reading your stunning words of wisdom is such big medicine.
-- Orlando J. Gallardo, Gallardo Mechanical Sys. Inc
I heard my first tape of Jim Rohn about 20 years ago as a copy of
a presentation he gave for Dick Marks (Amway) in Minneapolis, MN.
Over the years I've received several bulletins and bought various
products. At one point I spent 2 whole days (uninterrupted by
choice) listening and writing/outlining the entire 16 tape set so
as to never lose sight of the points being made. I now have a very
successful company (soon to be international) based on a solar
powered aeration device I invented. I credit Jim with at least
part of the motivation and principles I use to manage my business.
-- Wayne E. Ruzicka, Ponds Rx Us
They are very good to learn and live by these philosophy.
-- Suchat Chimpradid Nokia (Thailand)
Keep it up! You do a great job!

I was very excited when Oxyfresh (I have been with them for 5
years, just after meeting you) forwarded your newsletter to me.
Thank you for being who you are. You are truly an inspiration to
me (and a lot of the top leaders in our company) I still remember
a lot of your words, how you spoke and listen to your tapes. Now
is the time to start using and taking more of your advice and
putting it into action.
-- Bonnie Newman
I can never get enough of Jim.

I love his stuff! And have been passing it on.
-- Johanna E. Baker

Jim this is my second time reading your ezine. They are awesome! I
loved reading the ant philosophy. I'm in my first network
marketing business (American Communications Network), and will
have the privilege of hearing you speak for the first time at our
convention in Atlanta this weekend. Your ezines are so
inspirational I can hardly wait to hear you speak in person. Much
success!

I thoroughly enjoy your books and audio tapes.
