"Resolve says, 'I will.' The man says, 'I will climb this mountain. They told me it is too high, too far, too steep, too rocky and too difficult. But it's my mountain. I will climb it. You will soon see me waving from the top or dead on the side from trying.'" Jim Rohn

1. DON'T BE A COMPLAINER by Jim Rohn
(excerpted from The Challenge to Succeed audio series)
Complaining. There's room for legitimate complaining, but if you let this deadly disease of attitude - complaining - loose it will conquer you. Complaining can take over your life. Destroy you and leave you without anything. Nobody wants to take along a complainer. Nobody wants to promote a complainer. Nobody wants to live with one. Nobody wants to be a partner of one. Nobody wants to have one around. Complaining leaves you out of more opportunities than you can possibly imagine if you let it take over and grab you by the throat. If you don't think complaining is bad ask the children of Israel of Old Testament fame. They are typical of us all, but their story just happened to get in the Book.
The story says children of Israel are slaves in Egypt. God performed a series of dazzling miracles and gets them out. Now they have their freedom and are heading for the Promised Land. But... the tragedy of the story - they never got there. Reason - from day one they started to complain.
They griped about the food - they had just been delivered from slavery and they are complaining about the food?! They whined and cried and griped about the water. In the desert they HAD water to drink, but... it didn't taste that good?! They whined and complained about the leadership... that had just delivered them from slavery?! They complained that it was too hot, too cold, too far, too difficult, too rocky. They whined and cried for years - forty to be exact. Finally, God said I've had it - Trip Cancelled!
The story says that they died in the desert and never reached the Promised Land - after all that trouble! I believe this story teaches two things:
1) Indulge in complaining long enough and you will get your future cancelled - future promotions, future opportunities.
2) Even God himself can only take so much complaining.
I think you get my point. Complaining is not for the winners in life. You must focus on what you can do, not what you cannot. And you must focus on the opportunities not the difficulties. When you do this you will not only inspire yourself but you will be an example for others to follow as well.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
REPUTATION
Each of us must be committed to maintaining the reputation of all of us. And all of us must be committed to maintaining the reputation of each of us.
Accuracy builds credibility.
The Bible gives us a list of human stories on both sides of the ledger. One list of human stories is used as examples - do what these people did. Another list of human stories is used as warnings - don't do what these people did. So if your story ever gets in one of these books, make sure they use it as an example, not a warning.
It only takes one lie to taint your entire testimony in a court of law. Honesty is a vital part of having a good reputation.
********************************************************
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). 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 37 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, please go to http://jimrohn.com and click on Monthly Specials.

4. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ's)
Each week we take a specific or frequently asked question to or about Jim Rohn and provide the answer!
(This question is one that we receive hundreds of similar inquires on every month.)
Q. Jim I have listened to and read many of your audios and books over the years and it has been life changing. I had the opportunity to see you live in Bellevue WA last November - again an incredible experience. I know you mentioned you do a two-day weekend seminar on occasion. When and where is the next one being held? Will there be one on the West Coast? Thank you for being you! TJ
A. It has been almost two years since my last 2-day program, so I'm anxious to get back in the saddle and invest the 2 days with people like you, TJ. We are currently finalizing details for this event and you should receive information sometime in the next week or two via email. I can tell you that this next 2-day will be in Dallas, TX during the month of June. It will have many opportunities and nuances that we have never offered before in a 2-day or any other seminar. I do not have another 2-day scheduled until sometime in 2002 or 2003, so I hope you will be able to attend this one. Again dates and info will follow in the next few weeks. JR
