Read. More. . Books
Simple enough, right?
I do not speak much books in this blog because most of the books I think you like and are useful are not on life insurance. But do not get me wrong, I am an avid reader. I'm usually at least two books in play at once.
We can learn many books on Leadership-, businesses, what works, what does not. If you read the profile on me in the Chicago Tribune , you'll see what I've read recently and some of my favorite books. I am passionate about books all my life.
The following is an excerpt of Jim Rohn Weekly Newsletter . Jim Rohn died in 09 but left us his words a legacy. In my mind, there is room in the kind of self-improvement of Fame, next to Earl Nightingale, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Dale Carnegie, and many more. Below are the exact words of Jim from his article appropriately titled bulletin "Read more books."
All the books we will never need to make us rich, healthy, happy, as powerful, as sophisticated and as successful as we want to be written already.
people from all walks of life, some people with the most incredible life experiences, people who have spent pennies to fortune and failure success took time to write down their experiences so that we can share the wealth of their knowledge. They offered their wisdom so that we can be inspired by it and instructed by it and for us to change our philosophy by it. Their contributions enable us to reset our sail based on their experiences. They gave us the gift of their views so that we can change our plans, if any, to avoid their mistakes. We can rearrange our lives based on their wise advice
The important question is this :. In the last 0 days, with this treasure of information that could change our lives, our fortunes, our relationships, our health, our children and our careers for the better, how many books have we read?
Why we neglect to read the books that can change our lives? Why we complain but remain the same? Why so many of us curse the effect but nourish the cause? Those who want a better life can not afford to miss the books that could have a major impact on how their lives turn out. The book they miss will not help.
reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary. We must not allow anything to stand between us and the book that could change our lives. A little reading each day will result in a wealth of valuable information in a very short time. But if we fail to set aside time, if we fail to take the book, if we fail to exercise the discipline, then ignorance will quickly move to fill the void.
Those who seek a better life must first become a better person. They must continually seek after self-control in order to develop a balanced philosophy of life and live according to the dictates of that philosophy. The habit of reading is an important stepping stone in the development of a solid philosophical base and is one of the fundamental elements necessary for achieving success and happiness.
