Life
is Worthwhile if You...
by Jim Rohn 1)
First, life is worthwhile if you LEARN. What you don't know
WILL hurt you. You have to have learning to exist, let alone
succeed.
Life is worthwhile if you learn from your own experiences,
negative and positive. We learn to do it right by first sometimes
doing it wrong. We call that a positive negative. We also
learn from other people's experiences, both positive and negative.
I've always said it is too bad failures don't give seminars.
We don't want to pay them so they don't tour around giving
seminars. But the information would be very valuable –
how someone who had it all, messed it up. Learning from other
people's experiences and mistakes.
We
learn by what we see - pay attention. By what we hear –
be a good listener. Now I do suggest being a selective listener,
don't just let anybody dump into your mental factory. We learn
from what we read. Learn from every source. Learn from lectures,
learn from songs, learn from sermons, learn from conversations
with people who care. Keep learning.
2)
Life is worthwhile if you TRY. You can't just learn; you now
have to try something to see if you can do it. Try to make
a difference, try to make some progress, try to learn a new
skill, try to learn a new sport. Life is worthwhile if you
try. It doesn't mean you can do everything but there are a
lot of things you can do, if you just try. Try your best.
Give it every effort. Why not go all out?
3)
Life is worthwhile if you STAY. You have to stay from spring
until harvest. If you have signed up for the day or for the
game or for the project - see it through. Sometimes calamity
comes and then it is worth wrapping it up. And that's the
end, but just don't end in the middle. Maybe on the next project
you pass, but on this one, if you signed up, see it through.
4)
Life is worthwhile if you CARE. If you care at all you will
get some results, if you care enough you can get incredible
results. Care enough to make a difference. Care enough to
turn somebody around. Care enough to start a new enterprise.
Care enough to change it all. Care enough to be the highest
producer. Care enough to set some records. Care enough to
win.
Four
powerful little words: learn, try, stay and care. What difference
can you make in your life today by putting these four words
to work?
To
Your Success,
Jim Rohn
