6. More Information
1. Practice Being Like a Child by Jim Rohn
Remember the master teacher once said 2000 years ago, "Unless
you can become like little children, your chances are zero; you
haven't got a prayer." A major consideration for adults.
Be like children and remember there are four ways to be more like a
child no matter how old you get…
1) Curiosity - Be curious; childish curiosity. Learn to be curious
like a child. What will kids do if they want to know something bad
enough? You’re right. They will bug you. Kids can ask a million
questions. You think they're through. They've got another million.
They will keep plaguing you. They can drive you right to the brink.
Also kids use their curiosity to learn. Have you ever noticed that
while adults are stepping on ants, children are studying them? A
child's curiosity is what helps them to reach, learn and grow.
2) Excitement - Learn to get excited like a child. There is nothing
that has more magic than childish excitement. So excited you hate to
go to bed at night. Can't wait to get up in the morning. So excited
that you're about to explode. How can anyone resist that kind of
childish magic? Now, once in awhile I meet someone who says, "Well,
I'm a little too mature for all that childish excitement." Isn't
that pitiful? You've got to weep for these kinds of people. All I've
got to say is, "If you’re too old to get excited, you're old." Don't
get that old.
3) Faith - Faith like a child. Faith is childish. How else would you
describe it? Some people say, "Let's be adult about it." Oh no. No.
Adults too often have a tendency to be overly skeptical. Some adults
even have a tendency to be cynical. Adults say, "Yeah. I've heard
that old positive line before. It will be a long day in June before
I fall for that positive line. You've got to prove to me it's any
good." See, that's adult, but kids aren't that way. Kids think you
can get anything. They are really funny. You tell kids, "We're going
to have three swimming pools." And they say, "Yeah. Three. One each.
Stay out of my swimming pool." See, they start dividing them up
right away, but adults are not like that. Adults say, "Three
swimming pools? You're out of your mind. Most people don't even have
one swimming pool. You'll be lucky to get a tub in the back yard."
You notice the difference? No wonder the master teacher said,
"Unless you can become like little children, your chances, they're
skinny."
4) Trust - Trust is a childish virtue, but it has great merit. Have
you heard the expression "sleep like a baby?" That's it. Childish
trust. After you’ve gotten an A+ for the day, leave it in somebody
else's hands.
Curiosity, excitement, faith and trust. Wow, what a powerful
combination to bring (back) into our lives.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Empathy/Caring
Show your contempt for the problem and your concern for the
person.
Be sensitive to the plight of others. You have to know about the
tragedies as well as the triumphs, the failures as well as the
success.
How do you build a bridge between age 12 and age 40? By remembering.
One of the greatest gifts you can give to anyone is the gift of
attention.
The more you care, the stronger you can be.
Don't operate on the heart with a hatchet.
Vitamins for the Mind is 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 39 years. To order the TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Excerpts from TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy, please go to Jim Rohn's Online Catalog
3. Does Speed Reading Have a Direct Correlation to Income? by Ron White
It has been said that standard education will get you jobs, and
self-education will make you fortunes. This is no doubt true, and I
believe that reading is a key skill necessary to self-education.
Statistics say the average CEO in America reads 4-5 books per month
while the average American reads 1 book per year! This same
statistic goes on to say that 60% of those average American's don't
even get past the first chapter in that one book! You may shrug your
shoulders and say – okay big deal – so what? I am not a reader and
why should that bother me?
Whether it should bother you or not is for you to decide. I simply
share the facts with you. So here is another interesting fact: The
average CEO of a fortune 500 company will earn an average of 536
times the salary of the average employee of the company he runs.
This means that the employee of that company will work for a year
and a half to equal the salary of the CEO for one day! What an
extremely amazing and true statistic! Now, I am not going to suggest
to you that the only difference between the CEO and the average
employee is that the CEO reads a lot of books and the employee
doesn't, however, I will suggest to you that is one of the major
differences.
Now, if it is true that knowledge and even reading has a correlation
to income, and I believe that it does, then wouldn't it be logical
to conclude that it is in our benefit and interest to learn to read
faster.
So the good news is that you can learn to read faster. However, the
more important factor here is that you can read faster WITH
comprehension. You see if you simply read faster but do not
comprehend or recall what you have read, then what have you gained?
Not only is speed reading with comprehension and retention possible
for the human mind, you'll be glad to learn it really is not a tough
chore. The challenge is in learning the system. Because we know your
brain is very systematic, then we can actually train it to read
faster. Thomas Jefferson said that if we do everything that we are
capable of we would truly astound ourselves.
The human mind is the greatest computer ever created. Nothing in the
world will ever compare to it. It is a truly phenomenal machine
that, when fed, will respond with results that will astound you.
Benjamin Franklin told us that if we take the pennies from our
pockets and put them in our heads, our heads will then fill up our
pockets once again. This is so true. The person who invests time
educating himself will reap a lifetime of extra knowledge, fun and
income.
So let's do what Franklin suggested and spend our pennies on books.
As we read these books faster and faster and gain more and more
knowledge, we'll look back in amazement as our knowledge and quality
of life increases. By increasing your reading speed, you are doing
just one of the things you are capable of. My hope is that it will
spark a fire in you to learn even more and in doing so develop and
use more of your potential. Do this by continually learning and
feeding the flames with information, knowledge and action.

New Release - Ron White's Speed Reading,
a Systematic Plan to Read Faster and Retain More!
4 CD set and Workbook
The statistics speak for themselves; the faster a person reads, the
more books they will read and eventually the more money they will
make over the course of their lives. This is what the statistics
tell us. Therefore, I want to encourage you not only to nurture your
desire to read, but also your desire to read faster.
Speed Reading is an extremely comprehensive program and covers
everything from the very basics of speed reading to building your
vocabulary and remembering what you read. The goal is not to simply
read faster, the goal is to read faster coupled with retaining what
you are reading.
This may be a program that you will want to go back and review for
the maximum benefit. You most certainly will want to practice your
speed reading skills as often as possible to keep your reading speed
at its maximum.
I look forward to working with you as you learn this new skill and
embark on the exciting adventure of knowledge.

path.
