1. FACING THE ENEMIES WITHIN by Jim Rohn
We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of your fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won't need to live in fear of it.
Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.
Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within. The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference. What a tragic disease this is. "Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just drift along." Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift your way to the top of the mountain.
The second enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.
The third enemy inside is doubt. Sure, there's room for healthy skepticism. You can't believe everything. But you also can't let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worse of all, they doubt themselves. I'm telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it.
The fourth enemy within is worry. We've all got to worry some. Just don't let it conquer you. Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the curb in New York City and a taxi is coming, you've got to worry. But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner. Here's what you've got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, you've got to get it. Whatever is pushing on you, you've got to push back.
The fifth interior enemy is over-caution. It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; it's an illness. If you let it go, it'll conquer you. Timid people don't get promoted. They don't advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace. You've got to avoid over-caution.
Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
SOPHISTICATION
Most people are just trying to get through the day. Sophisticated people learn how to get from the day.
Sophistication is understanding the difference between trinkets and treasures.
Don´t spend major money on minor things. In the last ten years the guy has bought two tons of donuts and only two books - and the books are primarily filled with pictures.
Sophisticated people don´t leave early. The man says, "Yeah, but I want to beat the traffic." Isn´t that a great skill to have - beating the traffic!
It doesn´t take a million dollars to learn the difference between a bottle of fine wine and a Pepsi. Sophistication is a study not an amount.
One of the early signs of sophistication is not giving way to all inclinations but rather sending your emotions to school so they will learn how to behave.
Money doesn´t make you sophisticated. Only study and practice make you sophisticated. Even people of modest means can become sophisticated because it is within study and practice. How much is a night out at the symphony? About thirty dollars. You say, "Poor people can´t afford thirty dollars to go to the symphony." Yes, they can. It´s only thirty Hershey bars!
We must teach our children not to spend their money a dollar at a time. If you spend your money a dollar at a time, you´ll wind up with trinkets instead of treasures. You can´t buy much of value a dollar at a time.

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).

That's right! In addition to Jim's most powerful program - The Weekend Seminar, we have special guests Zig Ziglar speaking on
"Thriving in a Tough Economy", Jeffrey Gitomer author of the Sales Bible speaking on "We are All in the Game of Selling", plus special pearls of wisdom from Jan Ruhe author of "MLM Nuts and Bolts", Bob Burg author of "Winning Without Intimidation", William E Bailey, Horatio Alger award winner and mentor to Jim, Tony Jeary author of "Speaking From the Top" and personal coach to the Presidents of Ford, SAMS, Texaco and Met Life and Charlie "Tremendous" Jones author of "Life is Tremendous" and CEO of Executive books.
Be Part of History! Don't miss the most historic, relevant and life-changing event Jim Rohn has ever been a part of - The Jim Rohn Two-Day Weekend Event, Excelling in the New Millennium. This will be Jim's only Two-Day Weekend Event through 2002 - don't miss this opportunity to Be Part of History!
Four unique packages have been created that will allow anyone to attend - from a modest investment of a few hundred dollars up to a Platinum package that includes front & center seating; VIP lunches, special Friday night reception with Jim Rohn and guests, a Sunday mastermind session with Jim; limited edition signed and numbered leather journal; 18 hours of the entire two-day and behind the scenes all filmed on DVD and much more.
In addition, we will have a special teenager session, a special post-event reception and dinner with Jim (for those who qualify) and dozens of drawings and unique prizes for attendees.
More than just listening to a tape series, reading a book or attending a seminar - this event is life-altering. Two days devoted by you coupled with the priceless wisdom offered by Jim, and together you will fashion the necessary tools needed to design a life that will be remarkable, memorable and ultimately the masterpiece you desire.
There is no comparison to the "live" event - ninety percent of the effect is being there. Ask anyone who has attended a theatrical production, a concert by Luciano Pavarotti, saw the Beatles in the `60s or went to a Super Bowl or Olympics- the sights, sounds and experiences are all magnified because you are there. The dynamic combination of your intense focus, Jim's investment of experience and time, and the synergy generated by top performers gathered from all parts of the globe uniquely packaged in this Weekend Event creates a dividend that can be re-invested time and again throughout your life.
