I dearly love Jim Rohn and his style of conveying life messages. In this audio series Jim scrutinizes 12 traits of men with strong character from honesty, perseverance to health.
Not amongst Rohn's best works but still has a lot to teach you.

جيم ران واقعا اگه بهترين نباشه قطعا يكي از بهترين فيلسوف هاي زندگي موفق هست و طرز بيان فوق العاده نافذ و لذت بخشي داره:

If you change, everything will change for you.

If you want to achieve more, you have to become more.

اين سري فايل صوتي ويژگي هاي افراد دار

If you change, everything will change for you.

If you want to achieve more, you have to become more.

اين سري فايل صوتي ويژگي هاي افراد داراي كاراكتر يا شخصيت رو مي گه، از صداقت تا پشتكار و نهايتا سلامتي و تشريح مي كنه چرا اين ويژگي ها رو يك نفر كه در صدد كاميابي و كمال هست، بايد اون ها رو در خودش پرورش
بده.

بهترين اثر جيم ران نيست ولي خيلي چيزها مثل بقيه كاراش مي شه ازش ياد گرفت.

The one and only Jim Rohn. Some classic gems in this, including an anecdote about Boston Celtics great Bill Russel, and the magnificent industry of the mighty ant.

Quotes:
--------
"Character is derived from the Greek word for 'chisel'… a sharp steel tool used for making a sculpture out of a hard or difficult material."

"You've got to carve your character from the raw material of your self… character isn't something you were born with."

"Class is calling on reserve energy."

"The opposite of persevera

--------
"Character is derived from the Greek word for 'chisel'… a sharp steel tool used for making a sculpture out of a hard or difficult material."

"You've got to carve your character from the raw material of your self… character isn't something you were born with."

"Class is calling on reserve energy."

"The opposite of perseverance is procrastination… 'I'm a perfectionist.'… Do you see what's going on here? A fault is being turned into a virtue."

"Substitute real-time positive thinking for negative future visualization.
1. Break it down.
2. Write it down."

"Bill Russell was a player who wanted to take responsibility for the success or failure of his team. He wanted the weight on his shoulders in a situation…"

"When he wrote his study of American society… Tocqueville predicted that if the United States came to be ruled by a dictator, it would be someone with a well-developed sense of humor."

"It's good to begin a very serious discussion with a joke. After the moment of humor has been experienced through the joke, seriousness can reign for the balance of the meeting… Telling a joke can really reinforce your image as a serious person."

"The book you don't read isn't going to help."

"A patient man is always richer than an impatient man… because the patient man can always afford to wait. The patient man is never desperate."

"If you can only see in the short term… then you are like a man with one eye."

"Time is the greatest ally you can have."

"Parents who try to force a child's development are asking for trouble… All real prodigies developed completely according to their own time table."

"Everything comes to he who waits, but it comes sooner to he who hustles while he waits." - Thomas Edison

"Distrust in yourself breeds distrust in every person you meet."

"If you have your health, you have everything. Lose your health, and there isn't enough money in all the world to make life good or make life worth living."

"You have to lose your life in order to find it. You have to lose one way of living in order to find a different one."

"It's much easier to follow moderation in all things. That way health really is a function of character, rather than the calculator."

"You can't be too rich or too thin." - Wallis Simpson

"The people of China have absorbed wave after wave of conquering barbarians… The Chinese don't become barbarians, but the barbarians become Chinese."

"Staying healthy is the only way to get the good parts from all the parts of life. It's the way you stay strong, the way you stay interested."

"Self-possession and aplomb."

"We could all do ourselves a favor by developing the philosophy of an ant. :
—————————-
** An ant always knows where it wants to go, and it keeps trying to find a way of getting there, no matter what.

** The one thing they will never do is quit. That's the ant philosophy of achievement.

** They use the present moment to create assets for themselves."

"All you need is the commitment to be ruthlessly honest with yourself."

"A bad person is simply somebody who doesn't have enough reasons to be good."

"Flexibility is strength without rigidity… resisting the temptation to think that the deck is stacked against us."

"If you're truly a confident person, your belief in yourself is strong enough so that the world itself seems safe and oriented toward your success."

There is an interview with Jim Rohn on the last CD of the program, in which he was asked, "What would be one of the greatest lessons, you have ever learned in your life? He said the following: "True values really count. That humans are a special creation. All of the life forms are driven by instinct and the genetic code. A goose can only fly south in the winter because he is a goose. HUMANS ARE A SPECIAL UNIQUE CREATION. WE ARE LIKE NO OTHER LIFE FORM."

Jim Rohn is motivating, inspirational, and a must-read for people who are studying the art of business and success. Though I did enjoy Cultivating an Unshakable Character, I would recommend Rohn's The Art of Exceptional Living over this. It contains the majority Rohn's philosophy in an abbreviated form. This is much, much longer. Towards the end, I felt a bit overwhelmed with all of the information that was presented and I didn't experience that with Exceptional Living.

I am a Jim Rohn enthusiast. What a compelling life story. Mr. Rohn grew up of modest means in rural Idaho, left college after a year, held a blue collar job, could barely make ends meet for his young family, had zero money in the bank and pennies in his pocket. Then he met a mentor (Earl Schoaff) that changed his life. He went from a negative net worth at age 25 to a millionaire by age 31.

Mr. Rohn is a fervent and passionate believer in creating your own destiny....if you want to achieve success it depends on you and you alone. On the other hand, everyone has that opportunity to achieve success. Cultivating the Unshakeable Character is Jim Rohn's best program in my opinion. It can change your life. Listen to this audio CD....listen to it with your kids if they are older. It is an intelligent, wise, positive, impactful and thoroughly enjoyable lesson. I highly recommend this CD to anyone! ...more

All his books are a real gem and deservers a place in every readers library. Now i'm frantically searching for Victor Hermann's biography that, Jim so passionately refers to in this audio tape. Overall its a very good Audio book to listen to, to call it "motivational" would be an understatement, to me, one lead to another and I found so many gems. ...more

Jim Rohn in his classic style describes the difference between charisma and character. Alexander the Great had a magnetic quality to his kingdom and could lead armies into battle yet hardly anyone remembers him. Jesus Christ was born into a chiseled character and everyone on this planet remembers that he was crucified for our sins. True character is hard thats why most people choose to develop their reputation or charisma.

Love Jim Rohn. His definition of a truly successful life goes far beyond monetary success and into the individual character you become in your life.

The biggest takeaway I got from this book is that success is not the dollar amount in your bank account and the age in which you retire. It is the person you became along the way, the character you've developed in the journey. That is the real value in life.

If you have not reached your goal which you had set for yourself, then don't blame your luck but check if your character needs some work. This is just the stuff that great books are made of. I absolutely felt in love with this and the grand fatherly voice of Jim Ron made it more powerful. Highly recommended.

A must read for seasoned and aspiring leaders. He addresses the obvious, ubiquitous characteristics of great leaders, but my favorite content is that he identifies HUMOR as a key leadership trait. Overlooked, unspoken, and underrated for its place in the work environment, Rohn is on point with his attention to this quality.

Not one of my fav Jim Rohn teachings...but very powerful nevertheless , timeless life advice to create a bullet proof character which is priceless in almost every aspect of life
