Doing the Remarkable
self help article

Self help article by Jim Rohn, the master philosopher, on success, happiness, low self esteem, personal development & emotion management

When it comes to meeting and conquering the negativity in your life, here is a key question: what can you do, starting today, that will make a difference?

What can you do during economic chaos? What can you do when everything has gone wrong?

What can you do when you've run out of money, when you don't feel well and it's all gone sour?

What can you do?

Let me give you the broad answer first. You can do the most remarkable things, no matter what happens.

People can do incredible things, unbelievable things, despite the most impossible or disastrous circumstances.

Here is why humans can do remarkable things: because they are remarkable. Humans are different than any other creation.

When a dog starts with weeds, he winds up with weeds. And the reason is because he's a dog. But that's not true with human beings. Humans can turn weeds into gardens.

Humans can turn nothing into something, pennies into fortune, and disaster into success. And the reason they can do such remarkable things is because they are remarkable.

Try reaching down inside of yourself; you'll come up with some more of those remarkable human gifts. They're there, waiting to be discovered and employed.

With those gifts, you can change anything for yourself that you wish to change. And I challenge you to do that because you can change.

If you don't like how something is going for you, change it. If something isn't enough, change it. If something doesn't suit you; change it.

If something doesn't please you, change it. You don't ever have to be the same after today. If you don't like your present address, change it — you're not a tree!

If there is one thing to get excited about, it's your ability to make yourself do the necessary things, to get a desired result, to turn the negative into success.

That's true excitement.

To Your Success, Jim Rohn

COMMUNICATION & PERSUASION - quotes by Jim Rohn

===========

Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.

===========

For effective communication, use brevity.

Jesus said, "Follow me."

Now that's brief!

He could be brief because of all that he was that he didn't have to say.

===========

You cannot speak that which you do not know. You cannot share that which you do not feel.

You cannot translate that which you do not have. And you cannot give that which you do not possess.

To give it and to share it, and for it to be effective, you first need to have it. Good communication starts with good preparation.

===========

The goal of effective communication should be for listeners to say, "Me, too!" verses "So what?"

===========

Learn to express, not impress.

===========

Be brief on the logic and reason portion of your presentation.

There are probably about a thousand facts about an automobile, but you don't need them all to make a decision. About a half dozen will do.

===========

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.

===========

What is powerful is when what you say is just the tip of the iceberg of what you know.

===========

It's not the matter you cover so much as it is the manner in which you cover it.
