Must and Want

Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a difference between a "must" and a "want."

The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, "I wish someone would come by and turn me on." What if they don't show up? You've got to have a better plan for your life.

When you know what you want, and you want it badly enough, you'll find a way to get it.

Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot.

If you wish to find, you must search. Rarely does a good idea interrupt you.

Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.


"The Treasury of Quotes" by Jim Rohn.

Life responds to...

Life responds to deserve and not to need. It doesn't say, "If you need you will reap." The guy says, "I really need to reap." Then you really need to plant.

The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.

Make rest a necessity, not an objective. Only rest long enough to gather strength.

The soil says, "Don't bring me your need. Bring me your seed."

You must learn to translate wisdom and strong feelings into labour.

You must get good at one of two things: planting in the spring or begging in the fall.

To solve any problem

"To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, who could I ask?" -- Jim Rohn
