Skills
Make Labor More Valuable
by Jim Rohn As
you know by now, if you have been a long time subscriber to
our weekly E-zine,
I'm a very big proponent of activity, labor and discipline.
In fact I devoted one of the five major pieces to the life
puzzle (in my book under the same name) to the subject of
activity and labor. But now let me add another key word to
the labor equation - skillful. Yes, skillful labor.
We
need the skills to help build our family's dreams, the skills
to stir up an enterprise and make it successful. We need skills
to build equities for the future. We need skills of all kinds.
How
about this - skillful language. If you just talk to your family
you can hold them all together, but if you skillfully talk
to your children you can help them build dreams for the future.
That is why I spend so much time at the Weekend Seminar on
communication - how to affect others with words.
You can't be lazy in language - it costs too much. What if
you meant to say "what's troubling you?" and instead
you said "what's wrong with you?". Wow, that's too
big a mistake. And sure you could have made that mistake 10
years ago, but not now. You should have gotten much better
by now in language and communication.
Skills
multiply labor by two, by five, by ten, by fifty, by one hundred
times. Hey, you can chop a tree down with a hammer but it
takes about 30 days, called labor. But if you trade the hammer
in for an ax, you can chop the tree down in about 30 minutes.
What's the difference in 30 days and 30 minutes? Skills. Skills
made the difference.
So
do what you can - labor. But also do the best that you can
do – improved skills. And you will find that the labor
combined with skills will start producing miracles. Miracles
with your money, miracles with your family and miracles in
every part of your life.
To
Your Success,
Jim Rohn
