1. Attitude Is Everything
by Jim Rohn
The process of human change begins within us. We all have tremendous
potential. We all desire good results from our efforts. Most of us
are willing to work hard and to pay the price that success and
happiness demand.
Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into
action and to acquire a desired result. But the one thing that
determines the level of our potential, that produces the intensity
of our activity, and predicts the quality of the result we receive
is our attitude.
Attitude determines how much of the future we are allowed to see. It
decides the size of our dreams and influences our determination when
we are faced with new challenges. No other person on earth has
dominion over our attitude. People can affect our attitude by
teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us
or providing us with negative sources of influence, but no one can
control our attitude unless we voluntarily surrender that control.
No one else "makes us angry." We make ourselves angry when we
surrender control of our attitude. What someone else may have done
is irrelevant. We choose, not they. They merely put our attitude to
a test. If we select a volatile attitude by becoming hostile, angry,
jealous or suspicious, then we have failed the test. If we condemn
ourselves by believing that we are unworthy, then again, we have
failed the test.
If we care at all about ourselves, then we must accept full
responsibility for our own feelings. We must learn to guard against
those feelings that have the capacity to lead our attitude down the
wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us
confidently into a better future.
If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us,
then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as
members of the human race by maintaining total dominion over our
attitude. Our attitude is an asset, a treasure of great value, which
must be protected accordingly. Beware of the vandals and thieves
among us who would injure our positive attitude or seek to steal it
away.
Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success
requires. The combination of a sound personal philosophy and a
positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us gives us
an inner strength and a firm resolve that influences all the other
areas of our existence.
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 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. Simplicity & Dignity by Zig Ziglar
A parent or teacher who treats a child with dignity builds the
self-esteem of the child and automatically increases the child's
performance, which generally improves the child's conduct. An
employer who treats employees with respect and dignity builds
loyalty and increased productivity.
You treat another person, regardless of age, with dignity when
you courteously listen to him or her and respond in a thoughtful
manner. You treat others with dignity when you show them
respect, regardless of their occupation, sex, race, creed or
color. And when you treat others with respect and dignity, your
own self-respect and sense of dignity improve.
Simplicity and dignity make a powerful combination. When you
strive for dignity and use simplicity as a yardstick, you've
just elevated your possibilities for accomplishment.
See you at the top!

or three questions deep. If you want to go after someone's problem,
be aware that most people aren't going to reveal what the real
problem is after the first question." Jim Rohn

Testimonials
Thank You team Rohn, I am just returning home from a long and hard
week of balancing business and family. I have just enough energy to
click my mouse before hitting the wall. I checked your e-zine and
well, I was reminded of how blessed I am to be a steward over
balancing the very things that can contribute to the fatigue. I have
work and family. I am blessed to have both. Blessed enough to have
had someone send me the Rohn material to feed from. This meal is
also good to eat just before bedtime.
-- Kirk Brown
Your article on "The formula to failure and success" was one of the
best articles I've ever read. Thank-you for this gift!
-- Alex Monsour
Crystal, I am most grateful for your help. I feel very privileged
and very fortunate to be helped by excellent staff like you -
extremely efficient and understanding in all matters of customer
enquires.
-- Rose Siu
Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of
encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
"Neil Armstrong once said, 'You
only have to solve two problems when going to the moon: first, how
to get there; and second, how to get back. The key is don't leave
until you have solved both problems.'" Jim Rohn
