Jim Rohn is a man who has influenced many. As a philosopher and inspirational speaker, Jim shared his vision for leadership and personal development with countless thousands of people. With his passing away last week, I wanted to compile a list of some of my favorite Jim Rohn quotes. Although he is credited with sharing many inspirational things, these are some of my personal favorites:
“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.”
“Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.”
“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.”
“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.”
“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.”
“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.”
“It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.”
“Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book.”
“Give so much to the improvement of yourself, that you don’t have time to criticize others.”
“Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.”
“The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.”
“The book you don't read won't help.”
“Time is more value than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.”
“You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight”
