Jim Rohn

Enterprise is always better than ease. Every time we choose to do less than we possibly can, it affects our self-confidence. If we keep doing a little less every day, we are also becoming a little less every day. Can you imagine what you’d end up being after ten years of doing a little less every day? It’s devastating! Think about it… doing less could ruin your life!

The book you don't read can't help.

All of the great ideas, without action, become stale and useless. The
key to turning dreams into reality is action. People who have great
ideas are a dime a dozen. People who act on their dreams and ideas
are the select few, but they are the ones who gain the wealth, wealth
and wisdom that is available. Someone will act today. Let it be you.

You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.

Have you ever thought of life this way? That’s how it can become productive and ever-exciting. Don’t just live another year. Instead, gather up the years and invest them in the next one. Don’t just have another conversation. Instead, gather up all your past conversations and invest them in your next one.

You can make up in numbers what you lack in skill.

Don't read a book and be a follower; read a book and be a student.

For every disciplined effort, there is multiple reward.

Until is a very important word. It means that you will never give up.

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, and that means everyone in your life counts.

The promise of the future is not free. There is a price to be paid for any future reward. The price the future exacts from us involves <b>discipline</b>, <b>labor</b>, <b>consistency</b> and a burning desire to make the future better than either the past or the present. Those are the price tags of progress, but the price gets easy when the promise becomes clear. <b>When the end becomes attractive, we become keenly interested in the means.</b> We must see and want the promise with an insatiable desire, or the price it requires will overcome our wishes, and we will fall back to where we once were.

Whatever good things we build end up building us.

Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.

You should make sure the outside of you is a good reflection of the inside of you.

One person caring about another represents life's greatest value.
