My Top 32 Jim Rohn Quotes

Today, September 17, 2014 is the birthday of Mr. Jim Rohn. He is one of the world's greatest mentor, entrepreneur, motivational speaker and author. He has inspired and influenced many people. I've watched his videos and get motivated every time. You can learn a lot from him. Here is my list of his valuable quotes:

1.  "Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you’ve signed up for a season, see it through. You don’t have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through."
2.  "Success is 20% skills and 80% strategy. You might know how to read, but more importantly, what's your plan to read?"
3.  "To become financially independent you must turn part of your income into capital; turn capital into enterprise; turn enterprise into profit; turn profit into investment; and turn investment into financial independence."
4.  "To solve any problem, there are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, whom could I ask?"
5.  "Don’t spend major money on minor things. In the last ten years the guy has bought two tons of donuts and only two books – and the books are primarily filled with pictures."
6.  "Be sensitive to the plight of others. You have to know about the tragedies as well as the triumphs, the failures as well as the success." 
7.  "We all know a variety of ways to make a living. What's even more fascinating is figuring out ways to make a fortune."
8.  "The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it takes to achieve them."
9.  "I found that when you start thinking and saying what you really want then your mind automatically shifts and pulls you in that direction. And sometimes it can be that simple, just a little twist in vocabulary that illustrates your attitude and philosophy."
10. "Disgust and resolve are two of the great emotions that lead to change."
11. “Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things.”

12. "We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time to bring value to the marketplace, but we get paid for the value, not the time."

13. "Don't let the learning from your own experiences take too long. If you have been doing it wrong for the last ten years, I would suggest that's long enough!"
14. "Life is not just the passing of time. Life is the collection of experiences and their intensity."
15. "The formula for disaster is: Could + Should + Won't."
16. "Be like a sponge when it comes to each new experience. If you want to be able to express it well, you must first be able to absorb it well."
17. "Learn how to turn frustration into fascination. You will learn more being fascinated by life than you will be being frustrated by it."
18. "Don't take the casual approach to life. Casualness leads to casualties."
19. "There are three things to leave behind: your photographs, your library, and your personal journals. These things are certainly going to be more valuable to future generations than your furniture!"
20. "One of the best places to start to turn your life around is by doing whatever appears on your mental ‘I should’ list."
21. "Never begin the day until it is finished on paper."
22. "Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it, kill it, and spend it rather than invest it."
23. "Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time."

24. "You cannot succeed by yourself. It's hard to find a rich hermit."

25. "You must learn to translate wisdom and strong feelings into labor."
26. "Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness - great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy."
27. "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure."
28. "We must learn to apply all that we know so that we can attract all that we want."
29. "Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom."
30. "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."
