My Favourite Mentor, Jim Rohn
In year 2002, a friend of mine went to Jim Rohn's Seminar. When he came back, he kept talking about him, how amazing the seminar and how inspired he was! That was the very first time i heard of the name.
So i borrowed a set of Jim Rohn's cds from this friend, "Fundamentals of Exceptional Living" and since that day, I was hooked! I keep repeating the 6 cds, and when i bought my first car 2 years ago, i played them in my car over and over and over again everyday! Once in a while when i bought other cds, i will play them, but i keep coming back and play this 6 cds. A rough estimation, i think i have listened to them for well over 200 times! But everytime i listen to
them again, it never fails to inspire me, to give me new ideas and encourage me to propel forward!
One of my greatest wish is to attend Jim Rohn's live seminar, to shake his hand and take photos with him, and tells him how his cds has changed my life!
I will end today's blog with an article from his ezine.

The Ant Philosophy by Jim Rohn
Over the years I've been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept - the ant philosophy. I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're headed somewhere and you try to stop them; they'll look for another way. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you're supposed to go.Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important perspective. You can't be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer.
An ancient story says, "Don't build your house on the sand in the summer." Why do we need that advice? Because it is important to think ahead. In the summer, you've got to think storm. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun.
The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, "This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here." And the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they'll dive back down, but then they come out the first warm day. They can't wait to get out.
And here's the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the "all-you-possibly-can" philosophy.
Wow, what a great philosophy to have - the ant philosophy. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
To Your Success,
