Don't Send Your Ducks to Eagle School by Jim Rohn

Don't Send Your Ducks to Eagle School
by Jim Rohn

(Excerpt from  " Leading an Inspired Life  " )

The first rule of management is this: don't send your ducks to eagle school. Why? Because it won't work. Good people are found not changed. They can change themselves, but you can't change them. You want good people, you have to find them. If you want motivated people, you have to find them, not motivate them.

I picked up a magazine not long ago in New York that had a full-page ad in it for a hotel chain. The first line of the ad read, "We do not teach our people to be nice." Now that got my attention. The second line said, "We hire nice people." I thought, "what a clever shortcut!"

Motivation is a mystery. Why are some people motivated and some are not? Why does one salesperson see his first prospect at seven in the morning while the other sees his first prospect at eleven in the morning? Why would one start at seven and the other start at eleven? I don't know. Call it "mysteries of the mind."

 I give lectures to a thousand people at a time. One walks out and says, "I'm going to change my life." Another walks out with a yawn and says, "I've heard all this stuff before." Why is that?

The wealthy man says to a thousand people, "I read this book, and it started me on the road to wealth." Guess how many of the thousand go out and get the book? Answer: very few. Isn't that incredible? Why wouldn't everyone go get the book? Mysteries of the mind?I

To one person, you have to say, "You'd better slow down. You can't work that many hours, do that many things, go, go, go. You're going to have a heart attack and die." And to another person, you have to say, "When are you going to get off the couch?" What is the difference? Why wouldn't everyone strive to be wealthy and happy?

Chalk it up to mysteries of the mind, and don't waste your time trying to turn ducks into eagles. Sponsor people who already have the motivation and drive to be eagles and just let them soar !

Swing high

Swing high

As you follow your dreams you will have down days and moments when you question yourself. On days like these, listen to your inner child and go outside and play. Even better, try out the playground swings: swing high and your mood will follow.

'My father would take me to the playground,
and put me on mood swings.'

- Jay London

Find balance

Find balance

When children are tired, they rest; when hungry, they eat; when motivated they play. Find balance in your life. Listen to your body because it will tell you when the things you are doing to yourself are out of balance.

'To put everything in balance is good,
to put everything in harmony is better.'

- Victor Hugo

If at first you succeed, try, try again

If at first you succeed, try, try again

Children will strive to reach personal goals like learning to ride a bike. But once conquered, they're onto their next challenge. Reaching a goal is exciting. Stopping after reaching it is fatal. Once you've taken the time to acknowledge your achievement, attaining a goal should be merely the motivation to set new and bigger goals. Quitting due to success is more dangerous than quitting due to failure.

'If you have accomplished all that you have planned
for yourself, you have not planned enough.'

- Edward Everett Hale

Substance of achievement

It is far better for you to earn something and not have it than to have something and never earn it. When you've truly earned something, there is a valuable and important part of it that can never be taken away.
To wish that all the treasures of life would simply and easily be given to you is to wish for nothing of any real value. It is in the effort, the discipline, the commitment to reach it, that achievement yields true meaning.
Dream the biggest, most spectacular, fulfilling and meaningful dream that you can imagine. And know that the moment you begin to earnestly and steadily work your way toward it, the richness of that dream is yours to experience.
What you desire is not what you really desire. What you really desire is to be the person you must become in order to achieve it.
What you really desire is to matter, to make a difference, to add your own special essence and flavor to life. What will bring you fulfillment is to create, express and bring to life, in your own way, the unique beauty of your spirit.
Look past the mere trinkets and artifacts of achievement. Focus on the substance of achievement that lives in the effort, the passion, the commitment, and the persistence.
There you'll find real and lasting value.


-- Ralph Marston

Talk with passion about your passion

Talk with passion about your passion

Nothing is more infectious than listening to a child who is passionate about something. What are you passionate about? It takes courage to share your passion, but it gets easier with each go.

'When i hear a man preach, I like to
see him act as if he were fighting bees.'

- Abraham Lincoln

Get a life

Get a life

Both children and adults dream of being successful and famous. However, these dreams and ambitions don't rule a child's life. If fame and success are all you want, then your existence will be pretty empty. You need a life outside of your dream, otherwise it can warp the soul. Be vigilant.

'Here's a tip to avoid "death by celebrity":
First off, get a life. They can't touch you
if you're out doing something interesting.'

Most people makes decision based on 90% of opinions and 10% of facts.

Most people makes decision based on 90% of opinions and 10% of facts.
90% of people choose to read something in social media/internet written by someone with questionable background and qualification but don't want to read a book properly written by a fully qualified professional.

Let me remind you, Dr. Louis Ignarro is a Nobel Prize winner for medicine and also the person behind Herbalife products along with other really really good doctors like Dr. David Heber, Dr. Gary Small (go check out google search for these doctors background) And I have a chance to attend his teaching and also met him in person. Well... how many doctors in Malaysia do you know that is a Nobel Prize winner? Hmmm...? Actually none.

Dr. Louis Ignarro takes 2 Herbalife formula 1 shakes, 15 omega3 fish oil, 12 scoops of NW formula daily. He started running for marathon at age 64 and has completed 13 full marathon. (Each marathon = 42km, if you know...). Now he is 72 yrs old, still active, healthy and running for marathon.

See with you own eyes, feel with your heart, shut your ears to negativity.

That is why 90% of people in the world are follower. Only 10% are leaders, which are the successful and happy people.

Time-poor excuses are poor

Time-poor excuses are poor

We're all familiar with the old saying that if you want something done quickly, ask a busy person to do it. The secret to time management is prioritising what's most important in life. Children are great at putting their most important needs, desires and activities first. Does trying to impress others come before or after your need?

'Don't say you don't have enough time.
You have exactly the same number of hours
per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur,
Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci,
Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein.'

- H. Jackson Brown, Jr

Respect others' faults

Respect others' faults

Children can be completely oblivious to adults' faults. Yet we will often see the faults in others that we may subconsciously recognise in ourselves. Next time you become annoyed by what someone has done, look within and ask yourself, 'How does this fault apply to me?'

'Deal with the faults of others
as gently as with your own.'

- Chinese Proverb

Weed your garden of negative influences !

Weed your garden of negative influences !


 It is wise to constantly ask yourself these questions:

 Who am I around?

What are they doing to me?

What have they got me reading?

What have they got me saying?

Where do they have me going?

What do they have me thinking?

And most important, what do they have me becoming?

Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay?"

Here's Today's Tip!

Who is your job turning you into?

When children play-act being grown-ups, their personality will change to suit the profession they're acting out. Make no mistake: your job is changing you. If it's a job you enjoy then the change will likely be positive and empowering. However, if you don't like your job, it will be chipping away at your happiness and self-respect. Consider making steps to change. Your personality depends on it.

you would do your job and not be paid for it.'

Who are you entrusting your life to?

When a child has a new idea, others' negative comments often won't deter them. However, we adults are very receptive to others' negative advice, which can stop our dreams instantly. It's okay to get advice from others. However, it's your choice whether you want to entrust your life to their opinions.

'When you go into court you are putting your
fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't
smart enough to get out of jury duty.'
