Vitamins for the Mind
by Jim Rohn
Kids
How many languages can a child learn? As many as you will take the time to teach them.
Even kids can get started on becoming financially independent. Kids can make profits long before they can legitimately earn wages.
Kids ought to have two bicycles: one to ride and one to rent.
Kids don’t lack capacity, only teachers.
I teach kids how to be rich by the time they are age 40, 35 if they are extra bright. Most kids think they are extra bright, so they go for 35.
What should a child do with a dollar? Here’s one philosophy: It’s only a child and it’s only a dollar, so what difference does it make? Wow, what a philosophy! Where do you suppose everything starts for the future? Here’s where it starts: It starts with a child and a dollar. You say, “Well, he’s only a child once. Let him spend it all.” Well, when would you hope that would stop? When he’s fifty and broke like you?
If kids clearly see the promise, they will gladly pay the price.
