“One Man’s Passing!”

A good educator will not only provide you with valuable
information but will also stimulate your thinking with
thought provoking statements….some you understand and
some you don’t. Some you agree with, some you don’t.

Maybe that makes them a philosopher…..I’m not sure.

Jim Rohn was just such a man.

Even though I never met him personally, I did hear him
speak on two different occasions and over the years, I bought
many of of his tapes and books. He had an amazing low key
personality that just mesmerized me, as well as most all who
met him.

He was a guy that always brought a smile to my face when I
thought of him.

Unfortunately, Mr. Rohn passed away this past Saturday.

I vividly remember seeing him here in Portland at a local hotel
ballroom in 1984 and hearing him say,

“Success is something you attract by the person you become.”

WOW!

“Success is something you attract by the person you become.”

That statement really woke me up as up until then I had no
idea that I was responsible for everything that occurred
in my life and that personal development should be part
of my daily routine.

As a matter of fact, up until then I was a “to me” guy…
as in “life happens to me”.

It was from Mr. Rohn that I learned that if I wanted to
be “successful” I needed to work on Ron. I needed to
become a better person, not just a harder charging, harder
working person.

He also said “Profits are better than wages”.

That meant I had to work for myself and not someone else.

I was good with that as I had never been a great “employee”
anyway.

And finally he said “Your income is directly related to
your philosophy not the economy.”

Now that last one’s going to cause some of you some
problems, isn’t it?

But if you will think about that for a while, I think you’ll
discover the truth in his statement.

Rest in peace, Mr. Rohn, you’ve been a great mentor and
teacher.
