Catatan penting saya

Ini adalah kutipan yg pernah saya ingat dari apa yg pernah saya pelajari dari banyak buku maupun seminar yg saya ikuti. Mungkin perkataan Jim Rohn ini sangat mewakili semuanya.
Jim Rohn adalah America's Foremost Business Philosopher. Beliau adalah guru dari Anthony Robbins yg akan datang kembali dgn seminarnya di Singapore. Dan Anthony Robbins adalah salah satu guru dari Tung Desem Waringin.
Berikut kutipan Jim Rohn yg selalu jadi inspirasi buat saya:

On Reading:
" Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it,but you will never grow from it."

On Health:
“Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.”

on the value of time:
“Time is more value than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.”

on motivation and habit:
“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”

on first decision:
“It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.

”on character:
"Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.

"on desire:“Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.”

on your life:
“Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.”

on discipline:
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure."

on planning your life:
“If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.”

on building something:
“If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.”

on success:
“Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become”
“Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals”
“Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.”

on communication:
“Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.”

on working through the hour:
“You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.”

on what you want:
“When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.”

on destination:
“You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight”

on trying:
“How long should you try? Until.”

on leadership:
“A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.”

on risk:
“If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.”

on setting a goal:
“The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.”

on the people around you:
“Get around people who have something of value to share with you. Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long they have departed.”

on happiness:
“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.”

on fixing a problem:
“If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around”

on philosophy:
“Your philosophy determines whether you will go for the disciplines or continue the errors.”

on communication skill:
“Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.”

on overcoming failure:
"Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day."

on effort:
"For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward."

on education:
"Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune."
