The keys to greatness
A wonderful article from Jim Rohn on changing our lives and things we are able to do to change our own lives. Thanks Jim for such a powerful article with some powerful keys to greatness.
Three Keys to Greatness
by Jim RohnAwhile back, I went into the studio and created a 56-minute video for teenagers called "Three Keys to Greatness." Although my focus was for teenagers, the principles I shared certainly apply to adults as well.
Recently I was asked to list these three things using one to two sentences for each. Now for your benefit here they are again.
1) Setting Goals. I call it the view of the future. Most people, including kids, will pay the price if they can see the promise of the future. So we need to help our kids see a well-defined future, so they will be motivated to pay the price today to attain the rewards of tomorrow. Goals help them do this.
2) Personal Development. Simply making consistent investments in our self-education and knowledge banks pays major dividends throughout our lives. I suggest having a minimum amount of time set aside for reading books, listening to audiocassettes, attending seminars, keeping a journal and spending time with other successful people. Charlie “Tremendous” Jones says you will be in five years the sum total of the books you read and the people you are around.
3) Financial Planning. I call it the 70/30 plan. After receiving your paycheck or paying yourself, simply setting aside 10% for saving, 10% for investing and 10% for giving, and over time this will guarantee financial independence for a teenager.
If a young person, or for that matter an adult, focused on doing these three simple things over a long period of time I believe they will be assured success!

The price to pay!!!!
Wow a powerful article from Jim Rohn’s newsletter on activity vs labour, as Jim States there is always a price to pay no matter what it is.
Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Activity/Labor
You must learn to translate wisdom and strong feelings into labor.
The miracle of the seed and the soil is not available by affirmation; it is only available by labor.
Make rest a necessity, not an objective. Only rest long enough to gather strength.
Without constant activity, the threats of life will soon overwhelm the values.
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.
For every promise, there is a price to pay

Wow a powerful quote from Napoleon on failures being a asset to people that we need to see the lesson to be learned from
such and to then move on. Rather than not learning anything at all.
