An extract of extraordinary insights for living and working by Jim Rohn, a speaker and author famous for his motivational audio programs and quotes on business and life in general. He passed away in 2009 but his work and quotes live on today. Rohn’s book “Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle”, published in 1991, was built around what he considered the five components of success:
Philosophy – how you think
Attitude – how you feel
Action – what you do
Results – measured often to see if you are making progress
Lifestyle – the kind of life you make for yourself out of the first four pieces
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
Don’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight
Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you.
You don’t get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.
Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.
