Jim Rohn was one of the fathers of personal development. He was a personal mentor to Tony Robbins and influenced other greats like Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Brian Tracy. What you are about to watch is the last video interview conducted by Jim Rohn. He talks about finding the right mentor with Chris Widener, setting meaningful goals, and how not to go bankrupt. Chris has given permission to upload this to our YouTube channel. Enjoy. Today, my guest is Jim Rohn. Jim has been praised as one of the most influential thinkers of our time and is considered America's foremost business philosopher. For over 40 years, he has shared his philosophy of success with over 4 million people worldwide. Jim Rohn is a trainer in personal development for all generations.

I helped motivate and educate hundreds of executives from top U.S. companies. He is the ultimate motivator, writer, and living legend. Welcome, Jim. And Chris, thank you very much. Yes, thank you for coming here. I will take you around the world. Please introduce yourself. So, I would like to ask you all. We have been promoting becoming living legends and sharing stories. And you really are. What I mean is that you have lived an amazing life that could have influenced many people, a special life. Starting from a young age until now, traveling the world, how are you doing? How did it all start? Well, living long enough to become a legend is one of them, right? That's right. And I just celebrated my 75th birthday.

However, at 25, I live in Idaho, where I was born and raised. And as you know, I am married. I am working hard to support my small family and pay the bills. But as you know, I work hard and do my best. And you heard that story. Knocking on the door, there was a young Girl Scout selling Girl Scout cookies. And she gave me an amazing presentation. Girl Scouts, the world's best organization. Everyone wants to support Girl Scouts. We have these cookies for just two dollars. And she very politely asked me to make a purchase. Unfortunately, I wanted to buy, but there was a big problem. I didn't have two dollars in my pocket. As you know, I am not poor, but my pockets were empty. I am an adult. I am 25 years old. I attended college for a year. When it comes to my small family.

I live in the United States and I don't have two dollars in my pocket. And I didn't want to say that to her. So I did something I thought was the next best thing. I lied to her. And I said, Hey, I already bought a lot of Girl Scout cookies. There are too many at home that I haven't eaten yet. She said I was really cool. Thank you very much. And then she leaves. As she leaves, I said to myself, I don't want to live like this anymore. How low can I stoop to lie to the Girl Scouts? So that was one of those days I call the day that changes your life. If you really make up your mind, you should start finding better ways. I've always wanted to, but I just couldn't find the right person or way. Not long after that

I met someone who was my mentor for five years. Between the ages of 25 and 30, or 31, what he taught me made me a millionaire. It was unforgettable and changed my life. He helped me refine my philosophy and develop skills and discipline I had never had before, completely revolutionizing my life. Those five years of life were the beginning of a change in my mind and circumstances. And it led me to where I am today. I wonder how many people have experienced such a decisive moment like you. I just realized I lied to a Girl Scout when I closed the door. Some may just justify it, but there are also those who vow never to do it again like you. Yes, it's unpredictable. Experience affects different people differently, and the mystery and magic of why some allow positive change while others just let it pass.

You may not act now, but something else may happen later, and that could be a turning point. It's unknown. While lecturing, giving seminars, teaching, and training, some people apply what they have learned to change their lives, while others still remain a mystery as to why they don't. At a leadership event in 2004, someone who owned real estate in 2001 came back and ended up buying an absurdly priced real estate for $50 million. At the end, another man was there, who was in the same position as me, but he went out and did that, while I did not. Well, he came back in 2004. In 2007, he said, I will come back, and I will accumulate wealth. That's part of the mystery. I have written several books so far.

It was supposed to be six volumes and I had to write 26 volumes. So what happened to the remaining 20 volumes? That's a mystery. The magical part is the 6 volumes, and the mystery is the missing CG volumes. So, aren't we ourselves a mystery? We should have been, but we couldn't. We had the skills but didn't utilize them properly. We all have that aspect. However, what we do dramatically changes our lives. That's magic. That's power. One of them is the law of averages. The Bible talks about the sower, who went out to sow seeds, had ambition, and had good seeds. But the first part of the seeds he sowed was eaten by birds. And then he continued to sow the next seeds, which fell on shallow ground with many rocks.

And small plants start to grow on the first hot day. They hold seeds and die. So, he keeps going. The seeds he sowed fell on the thorny ground. The small plant started to grow but died suffocating in the thorns. And he called it a small concern that hinders people from becoming thorns and nettles. And finally, he kept sowing seeds, and eventually the seeds fell on good ground. However, the interesting idea was that some good ground produces 30%, some 60%, and some 100%. There are various types on good ground like 30, 60, 100, but on good ground, everything like birds, hot weather, thorns, and water affects it. So, starting the lecture, I wondered why everyone can't achieve 100%.

Then I realized that this was not it. So I told John that he should have attended the meeting last night. Then John said that the screen door fell off the hinge. It needed fixing and repair. So I said that now I understand that some people cannot do better things because they are deceived by trivial matters. But the situation might change in a week. Someone might rise and have an experience like what I did in the Girl Scouts. Then everything changes. Therefore, unless someone is completely resistant to self-improvement, the door is always open. But I believe that there is enough experience that can stimulate us and push us little by little in that process. We also listen to recommendations from others or read books. Or someone buys a ticket, attends a seminar, and then

It can change completely. Let's assume someone shares an idea with two people. One person says, I understand. The other person says, I don't understand. You would ask, Why don't you get it? It was clear when it was shared. Yes. Why can't you see what I see? Yeah, that's true. But why don't you feel the same way as I do? So, we have to allow that. And then we have to allow it to happen in our own case as well. You should have had the experience of not having a book like me. That should have happened, but it didn't. I left it, but I should have picked it up, so I think doing your best is important. And what's important is to keep learning through all possible experiences. Whether it's our own personal experiences or someone else's preaching experience, someone for Tuesday morning breakfast.

Sitting with Dennis, a personal evaluation is given to you, and there is a clicking sound, and something happens. You never know. Yes. At that moment, everything comes together, with the right timing and personal circumstances mixed. So, you eventually ended up working at Earl Show Off, and there was a lot to learn. For six to seven years, he was by my side, leaving this world at the age of 49. That period was a time of dramatic change. Despite only having a 9th-grade education, his teachings provided me with simple yet profound insights into my excuses. When I claimed something was too expensive, he instead said I couldn't afford it, providing me with insights that broadened my perspective. What was the story behind bringing in the salary? Was this all of the salary? Yes. This is all. I really like it.

This is all that is given to you. He pointed out. Acknowledging his words, he asked if others earn much more. I agreed and clarified that this is not a limitation of the company but the amount I receive. He suggested investing in myself not to demand more salary from the company but to deserve a higher salary. The salary structure is already set for some people. You have to adjust to it. And in the lecture, I show this small economic ladder. Starting from a few dollars per hour, it goes up to a maximum of 32 million dollars in a year. It's an annual income for a year. And through what we hear and experience in that process, we strive to acquire better qualifications to move on to the next level. And that's the key. It's about continuing to evolve, grow, develop, and find out what you can do in life.

One of the things he used caught my attention. How about setting a goal to become a millionaire? I am 25 years old. He said the United States is the land of opportunity. What do you think about setting a goal to become a millionaire? And he talked about what you would do once you achieve that. And I thought, wow, that's a completely different philosophy. Set a goal to become a millionaire for the person you need to become to be worth a million dollars. He said that once you become a millionaire, you will donate money. Because what matters is not what you have gained, but who you have become. And I got the message. And from there, I started hearing those words from him. Work harder for yourself than at your job. Providing value in the market is how you make money.

The more value you provide to the market, the better salary you can receive. Also, you will be rewarded for becoming someone who has the ability to inspire others as a leader, entrepreneur, or manager. Someone will be watching and telling you to treat yourself more diligently than your job. They will generally agree, recognize the need for self-improvement, and ask for recommendations. I started by making a list of skills I didn't have. As you know, I grew up in a rural area in southwestern Idaho. I knew how to milk cows, but the pay wasn't good. So, I started part-time first. It was a little sales adventure about how to secure customers. It was about health and impact. And I believed in the product and learned how to get customers. Then, the way of asking questions is as follows. Do you know who wants to get healthier?

Then expand your business there. So, it was the first additional skill I learned from general farm technology that began to change my life. Therefore, this is part of personal development learning additional skills. In the 21st century, more than one skill is needed, taught at seminars. There are people who worked at General Motors here. They just closed a few factories and laid off 25,000 people. This person was there for 15 years. Now he has been laid off and is already experiencing financial difficulties. The reason is that Chris had only one skill. Over the past 3, 4 years, he would have handled accounting two nights a week. Well, that's because when this crisis hit, there was a place to rely on. So, in the seminar, I teach the full list of skills I learned at the age of 30, 31. It not only made me wealthy, but

The ability to become an entrepreneur has expanded the entire range of abilities and has influenced the lives of others. Naturally, I started teaching and training. But that's just a part of it. I learned sales. I learned how to find good people. I learned how to get people to work together. An interesting passage in the Bible says that if two or three people come together with the same purpose, nothing is impossible. Wow, two or three, not alone but two or three, I thought. So, if you can inspire and give inspiration so that two people can go with you, you can do quite amazing things. I learned how to do that. Then I learned to reward people for recognition, rewards, and development stages. You can work in a company and the company rewards people for big steps. I learned to reward people for small steps of progress.

I have learned how to reward. To give rewards for progress made, everything that can be considered should not be a big reward. It doesn't have to be something big. Being kind then results in savings. Being too busy giving recognition to others, one might not feel the need for such recognition for oneself. Now you have arrived at a very good place. Your greatest happiness is when others, not yourself, receive rewards. However, I have come back with a very true old adage. By helping enough people, they can get what they want such as money, recognition, success, etc. You can get everything you want. I heard Zig say almost 50 years ago, or rather 45 years ago. And when he said you can have whatever you want, I underlined the word everything. Because you can want a lot of things. And I said, I think Zig is right. If you help enough people get what they want,

However, it's another skill. So, the best ability seems to be communication skills. And I divided it into three parts. One is training. Showing someone how to do things. Next is teaching. And I simply use two words for the purpose. Teaching life skills. One of the things that really helped me innovate my life at the age of 25 is not learning how to set goals. Decide what you want, write it down, and start checking. Where do you want to go? Make that list. What do you want for your family? Make that list. I started doing all of that. It's called teaching. Teaching life skills. So, when you combine vocational skills and life skills, opportunities really start to open up. So, the ultimate goal of communication is learning how to inspire. Helping someone see a better version of themselves.

Transporting to the future. Tell me. Mary, you can be that person. If you change a few things, I promise you won't be the same as before. The person you can become is like this: confident, strong, able to deal with situations and changes. You can be that person. So, do you think anyone can do that? What I mean is, when people think about leaders in general, they think of industry leaders, social movement presidents, and leaders. Is that what you do in your career as a middle manager? Or as a parent? Parents need to learn to do that at home too. Here is the person you can become. Are we making every effort possible? Especially for our children. To expose them to the ideas we know, we do our best to translate. Or at church, or at school, in the neighborhood, looking for a job, or going to work.

In the business community, we hope and pray to be continuously exposed to things that make them think, change, and improve habits. Develop technologies and feel personal satisfaction about the desired success. We hope that such things will happen. However, it will come not only from one source but from various sources. Like mentoring. I met a business partner who was also a mentor, coincidentally, having worked together with a business employer. But sometimes, someone mentors you about your health. Someone else becomes your mentor in spiritual matters. Another person mentors you in family relationships. And someone else becomes your mentor in business and technology development. Have you actively sought mentors throughout your life? No, after that Girl Scout experience, I found something in myself.

I thought I had to find it. And is it different inside? My friend said this. I went to work for this person. You have to meet him. Not long after that, I met Mr. Shop. Who can know that secret? Well... When the student is ready, the teacher appears. When you make up your mind, everything starts happening and approaching you as you wish. At least the odds are better. Everything is a matter of probability. But I think that if you do something, the chances of better things happening will increase. So, after you succeed in business, a phone call came at that time. The call came, right? Then someone said, Come here and talk to us. Beeville Hills moved. That's what you have to do to succeed. We are also from Idaho farm kids, but if you become rich, Beeville Hills moved.

So when I arrived there, my friend said, When you come, you have to share your story at my service club. You are a member of Rotary. And he said if I organize this morning meeting, he will organize our evening meeting. Would you come and talk for just 30 minutes? And he said, We made it from the Idaho Farm Boy Beeville Hills. I understood, he said it suited me. So I gave this short lecture. And they clearly enjoyed it. Before the day ended, I received two more invitations. You all should come to our service club and share the same story and thoughts. It made me start thinking about actually getting involved in education and training. I have received a lot of training and inspiration from the companies and organizations I belong to. But it wasn't for the public.

So, I started a small lecture for a volunteer club and enjoyed teaching high school and college classes occasionally. One day, a man said to me, I've heard your story a few times now and started this small company. If you come and give a presentation, I will gladly pay you. I thought it was really impressive. Can I share my story and make money out of it? He said he would gladly help, so I proceeded. This led to more opportunities. Eventually, we considered hosting a public seminar through ticket sales, organized it, and it marked the beginning of many successes. Please tell us a little bit about that. This is because you are actually one of the pioneers.

It's a kind of behind-the-scenes story because you and I and others are part of Kevat Lovers. What was the culture like back then when you were actually developing a very prominent personal development culture in the United States by scouring the country? How was that? It was really interesting. Of course, I devoted myself to everything I did in all my speeches, colleges, high schools, volunteer clubs, etc. It was all free. Then, when someone offered me money, it showed a completely new side. And then I started this process. It's about creating something valuable enough for someone to buy a ticket and come to listen. And it was an interesting day. Initially, there were about 45 to 50 paid participants who bought tickets. Many of them were my friends, so

They were friends who definitely purchased. However, there were also people who legally purchased tickets at the Beverly Hills Beverly Hilton Hotel, and the first public seminar for ticket buyers was in 1961 or 1962. I am now traveling the world, sharing my story, and still sharing ideas. But it was a truly fantastic time. All Nightingale, right? So, let's start from the beginning. Napoleon Hill, who conducted a lecture series before, Napoleon Hill was probably one of the first lectures. It started to be called a self-help movement. And the phrase personal development came out. Shuaf talked about personal development. He said to work harder for oneself than for work. It's okay because if you work hard, you can make a living. If you work hard for yourself, you can make a lot of money, which is really good.

I thought it was a good philosophy. So, have you ever had a big event with you, Zig, and Norman Vincent Peale? Yes, finally, over several years. The American Sales Master, some of them, all of that was a long time ago. Um... I remember when we first did the multi-speaker. I think it was in St. Louis. There were about 90,000 people in one of the large auditoriums. Zig was there, and I was there too. Norman Vincent Peale, Norman Vincent Peale, they were there. A few others. And now Zig said to me, You need to pay attention and really do a good job with today's presentation. It will be a tough day if 10,000 people turn their backs on you. Wise words, it threatened me. So I say, I have to do my best while looking out at the balcony.

If I make a mistake, Zig may be right. As you know, I will live with the anger of these ten thousand people. However, it was good advice. I learned to pay more attention to the audience. In the early days, I might not have realized that people could leave because I was more passionate about the lecture content. As I raised my head, I was able to see if there was a commotion in the audience seats. Do they understand the scriptures? Is the sermon coming to them? And now, I am teaching it in some seminars. When you think back to those speakers, who was the person you really respected and admired in your heart? As you know, we traveled to different countries to lecture in the same place. Earl Nightingale was unique.

As you know, he was a unique individual. His writings, speeches, and lectures were fascinating, interesting, engaging, and thought-provoking. That's exactly what we are trying to do, right? Yes. Are you the minister on Sunday mornings? Just sharing ideas, encouraging people to think about their lives, work hard, refine themselves spiritually, and economically or personally. And we can use a little coaching in any setting, whether it's a daily seminar, church, Sunday school class, or anywhere. Or we can share ideas. There is always an opportunity to bring out things that we have never thought of before. I am Chris Widnell. I hope you enjoyed this interview that I and Jim conducted. You can tell from the video how difficult I looked.

Working with Jim Rohn was truly an amazing opportunity, but what we didn't know at the time was that this would be the last video interview with him. So, please enjoy it. I have some incredible resources for entrepreneurs, inspired by the wisdom of one of the greatest legends. All you have to do is scroll down to check the comments and links. Then you can see other great resources. Now, let's listen again to the wise words of the legendary Jim Rohn. In 2004, during the summer of 2004, you received the prestigious award from the National Speakers Association, and I was there to witness it. One of the things that really amazed me was when they asked the audience, which probably consisted of around 2,000 to 3,000 people. Jim Rohn about your life or speaking career.

How many people do you think have had a significant impact? And almost three hands went up. What do you think about that? It's really special where I come from. In the farming country of southwestern Idaho, I still have an old family farm overlooking the Snake River. I make some wine there, grow a few crops, and live a good life there. But it's really strange. One of the best experiences is when someone puts your name in their evaluation, as someone who found me is here. The person who got me started is right here. There's someone here who won't let me give up. There are more reasons to stay than to leave. The person who believed in me until I could believe in myself is here. And they mentioned your name.

It's a big deal. You can't buy it with money. You have to earn it. What's unique to me now is going to Russia and doing a river cruise. I started river cruising in Russia a year ago. Let's go back now and have someone talk about what happened a year ago to me and my family. I'd like to introduce you to some people. You changed my life, so I helped change theirs. It's truly amazing. So at 75, it seems like you're still traveling to Chile and Santiago. And a few days later, there were three cities in Australia, India, and Korea. On a small trip, I'd like to talk about your travels. And one interesting thing is asking traveling companions like you how the world is for them. As you know, many people watching the show do not have the opportunity to travel so much.

In the American media and elsewhere, you hear about these things. But where is the country you used to enjoy spending time in, and what do you think ordinary people should know about this country and its culture? Speaking of travel, before Concord was shut down, I used to travel by Concord. It's amazing to travel from London to New York in just 3 hours. Now, there is a new direct flight from Los Angeles to Singapore. A 17-hour and 30-minute flight, what a great experience. As you know, it includes 9 meals and 4 movies, and finally, you arrive there. However, first class is exciting with caviar, champagne, and all amenities included. But when you go to other countries, people are basically the same. As you know, they have families, want to live well, and hope the next generation lives better than themselves.

People have hopes and dreams. They want to know how they can succeed. What can I do? It feels like I've been trapped for about 4 or 5 years. What can I do to make a change? Everyone wants to know. And they want to achieve. People want satisfaction spiritually, socially, and personally. It is satisfaction with personal development. I have improved more than before. I have improved more than before. And I think that if I continue to work hard, there is a high possibility that I will improve more in the future than in the past. Such desires are not limited to South Africa, Scandinavia, Korea, India, or even Vladivostok in Russia. People are fundamentally the same and have the same desires. Some forms of government may be slightly different, but the desires of the people are not. Do you particularly like going to countries where capitalist societies are growing rapidly?

Yes, what was enjoyable for me was the opportunity to teach capitalism in Russia over the past 12 years. I've been there about five times. In all major cities, there was no concept of capitalism for years under communist rule. Because communism taught that capital belongs to the state, not the people. Of course, we believe that capital belongs to the people, not the state. Completely different economic philosophy. But now, since the fall of the Berlin Wall 14, 15 years ago, they have the opportunity to take on entrepreneurship, capitalism, and personal responsibility instead of always relying on the state. So everything is changing. Are they hungry? Yes. They are ready, and just like elsewhere, in Russia, the same miracles are happening. If I explain how I can ultimately change lives dramatic

Some are passionate and others are skeptical. We need to learn how to accept that. Yes, I want to talk a little about children. There are many thoughts and theories about what children should learn, what lessons they should learn. Please tell us about some of them. Discover a broken cart, give $1, take it home, fix it, paint it, straighten the wheels, bring it back to the neighborhood, sell it for $5, and make a profit of $3. Is that possible? Everyone answers that it is possible. They say all you need is an idea. So, I teach children how to ride two bicycles. One they ride themselves and one they rent. You don't need a General Motors dealership to make a profit. You just need some quirky ideas like a lemonade stand. Making something to sell or buying something to resell is just an example of capitalism.

Then I believe it is important to teach children even a little about money management. What should they learn? Do not spend more than 70 cents per dollar. Also, allocate 10 cents for charity or church, another 10 cents for working capital, find another 10 cents for broken friction, pay a dollar, fix it, and sell it for a dollar in the sewer. That is working capital. And the last 10% is passive capital. Let others use your money. Invest and make interest payments. So, it's a good program for children to learn 70. And if you do that over a reasonable period, they will become financially independent. Isn't it funny that even at the level of young children, human nature is to spend everything, spend more, borrow more, and spend more? So the way the teacher teaches is for the child to buy a bottle of soap for $2.

The question is whether you can sell it for $3. The answer is yes. The advice is to go to the neighbor's house and say that Mrs. Brown's mother uses this soap. It's really good. It's only $3. Mrs. Brown advises that the soap is really good. And she suggests that it would be good for me to go in and check. Children don't need to go to school. They don't refuse to answer. So, it seems like sales training is not needed. So she said, Well, okay. Maybe that's the case. Here's $3. So, she bought a bottle of soap that Mrs. Brown bought for $2. She pays him $3. Now we say we need to learn how to do things in threes from Mrs. Brown. And we ask obvious questions. What if we just spend all this $3 we received from Mrs. Brown? Then the business will fail.

He responds that it should not be done that way. That's right. Adults don't know that. If something happens with the money in hand, isn't it better to just spend it? Then it will fail. At least you can buy one more bottle of soap if you save $2. And you can sell it for $3 and earn $1 more. Then children learn how to hire other children. John mows Mrs. Brown's lawn. John pays $5 to have Peter mow Mrs. Brown's lawn, and the thought of giving $1 or $2 when receiving $5 came to mind. As a reward for mowing the lawn, the thought of taking $3 crossed his mind. He says it's a good idea. Mrs. Brown mows the lawn. Peter receives $2. John earned $3 by following through with the work. And he said, Peter, if you do a good job, I'll hire someone else for you.

You can find someone else to mow the lawn. You don't need a large amount of capital to understand what capital is first. Capital refers to all the value that is invested in companies to generate profits and provide value to the market. This is a summary of capitalism in one sentence. Capital can be capital stock or capital time. I teach that the time and money you set aside to invest are like seeds, corn, in order to invest. If a farmer has seeds of corn to plant and expects a harvest, will they eat that corn? These seeds of corn? The answer is no. Will they feed it to their family? Of course, the answer is no. Will they share and treat this corn generously? They cannot be generous with seed corn. Because letting the seed corn multiply is the only way for it to grow bigger than it is now, so he is against eating the seed corn.

It will protect it. This is the essence of capitalism. Something has the opportunity to grow and reproduce more than now, but that opportunity must be preserved. Time is the same. Let's assume that you want to invest some time each week in companies that bring value to the market and aim to generate profits. No one can have that time. Have that time. Why do we... If you propose polling to a farmer in the spring, he will not even mention it and will say that spring is not the time for polling. Winter is a little short season. Now everywhere we go, the tractor is lit up. It's within 24 hours. In the short season of spring, crops must be harvested. This is the capital time. And you must learn the value of capital time. It is too easy for someone to steal your time that you should invest. Why do we let people steal our time?

It seems universal. I don't know. We stick to it without setting it up. It's like wasting a lot of time. A few years ago, I asked a young man. I knew he watched a lot of TV. I asked, How much is your TV? And he said, It's $400. And I said, I think you've miscalculated. He said, No, the cost is $400. I said, I mean, that's what you pay for it. How much do you think it costs to watch it? I realized he was neglecting technologies he wasn't utilizing. When the average American watches TV for 6 to 7 hours a day, the estimated cost of watching TV, not owning it, is about $40,000 annually, which he said was too much. Right? He would pay around $4,000, but

No, that's not true. That's right. $4,000. Don't pay and use it. You will still be ahead of the game. Sometimes revolutionary ideas are all it takes. If you realize the excessive cost of watching TV and use that time for self-employment and revenue generation, there may be unexpected results. Unless someone disrupts our daily lives and triggers such thoughts, we may eventually start thinking for ourselves, but often it's too late. This is similar to when he corrected himself saying he couldn't afford it when he said the cost was too high during a conversation with Shoref. Without such advice or reminders, you may drift for several more years without making the necessary changes to improve your life. And he handed that responsibility back to you. Do you want to spark a revolution over the next six years compared to the last six years? He asked. And I said yes.

And then, in the following six years, I became a millionaire. Isn't that amazing? From the first six to the second six, in the same era, with completely different philosophies. I learned how to become a diverse tech entrepreneur. The ZigZiglar philosophy. If you help enough people get what they want, you can have everything you want. Understand all of that. John F. Kennedy said, Don't ask what the country can do for you. That's not how you become rich. Ask what you can do for your country. Starting with the why, starting with my family. Do I have services to offer or products to represent? What can I do for the people of this country? And if you start thinking about it, entrepreneurially, now you can embrace an amazing change in life. And in the past six years and the following six years, such things happened to me.

There is a really big difference. And that difference was not the country. You don't need to leave that country. And the difference was not the economy. The economy in the second 6 years of my career was almost the same as the first 6 years. So, there was no difference, and the situation was not different. As you know, some winters are long, and some winters are short. As you know, such things will happen within 6 years. But the difference now is the way of thinking about your sophisticated philosophy and things. Therefore, whenever you have the opportunity to listen to song lyrics, you should welcome it. Or Sunday morning sermon teacher, professor, recommending good ideas to people who take the time to listen like you is all so valuable. And if collected over a certain period and combined into activities and routines, luck can come to you. You and your friend Charlie Jones are the people we read about in books and meet.

We often hear stories about how audio programs we listen to become objects. Which book has shaped your life the most? As you know, it started with the Bible. My parents made sure I became quite a good scholar until I was 19 years old. It's a book of rights. It's not politically correct for the teacher to say that. This book is a collection of 66 books, no matter what you think. But because it has received very good recommendations for a long time, it's not a bad idea to take a look at it at least once. You don't have to agree. But in my opinion, it doesn't seem wise. Not looking at it, or at least checking it out, seems unwise. What is your favorite thought from the Bible? I think one of the ones I am currently using is very valid. In other words, the storyteller says there were two good people.

The story of two good people, not the story of a bad person and a good person, but the story of two good people. And the storyteller continues to say this. From here, the drama of life begins. However, one person built a house on a rock, and the other person built a house on sand. And he understands it in just one sentence. Yes, even if you are kind, if you build a house on sand, it will quickly be destroyed by the storm, as always. And everyone says we must recognize that. The person who built the house on the rock was saved. And the person who built the house on the sand perished. They are both good people. In other words, even good people can make judgment mistakes. Good people can make careless decisions. Even kind people can make foolish decisions. Sometimes it can be fatal. Here is a good person. He got married and raised a great family.

He lives in Los Angeles. He is a good citizen of the community. He is ambitious. He is doing well. He is driving a car in Los Angeles and pushing and pushing the car because he is late for an appointment. Then, as he reaches the intersection, the traffic light turns red. And a small voice in his head said, Hurry up. You can do it. And now he is dead. He was a good person, but he died. In a moment of folly, he made a foolish decision. So, there is no need to go abroad to die. You die in foreign wars. Just make careless decisions at the wrong time or make foolish decisions. And we are all tempted. What was that voice I heard this morning? Was it saying I don't need to exercise this morning? Are you also listening to that voice? You are too late.

You can be stung when you return from a seminar trip. And I said no. Even though it's late, you need to make a revised version at least. And as you know, that's everyday life. Wutoris annoys you. Now you have a choice. Just leave it or make a big deal to confuse everyone. Everyone has a choice. There is something good here. I'm going into Nathan Els. There was Karim Abdal Jatbar in Beverly Hills two mornings ago. I had a good conversation with him. There is a dissident to put the paper in the machine before entering the restaurant. A man walks up to me, puts the paper in, opens it, and says to me, Go get a copy. The newspaper can definitely handle it.

He said. And he offered to bring me a new newspaper for free. What are you doing? There are nice people here. A call has come in that I need to make a decision on. Fortunately, maybe my mom was watching over me. I don't know. It's not about my growth process now. Thank you. And he seems very shocked. Alright. He said he closed the door, put the furniture in, and brought the documents. The key is that by taking free paper, you can influence all day long. Something will nag at you. Why do you want to feel this way? To avoid bluffing and sometimes when you make that bluff now, it will be a good lesson, and then you will no longer bluff. Because you don't want to feel that way anymore. Maybe that means that's part of how you grow. That's right. What you are going through

A small moral question. Guilt can be a good teacher. Yes. Some nagging, well, I don't want to feel this way. And maybe it can nag you all week long. And you say, I got a free newspaper for two lousy quarters. Never again. But will we be tempted again next time? The fact that temptation disappears doesn't mean we've become stronger in saying yes to the positive side. That's because it's the way I truly want to live my life. If there is a book that has influenced and shaped your life after the Bible, what book would you recommend to people? As you know, I like Shakespeare. Thinking and becoming rich changed my life. The richest man in Babylon, by the time I was 31, I became a millionaire.

I was helped. So, I am a student who studies history well. Duran, Wilk, Ariel Duran wrote all the books about history. I look at some of them. One of the books that helped lay the foundation of my library is a book called Reading Multimel Adlery's Book. And in this book, there is a list of books that he considers the best books he has ever written. And I use it as the centerpiece of my library. Have you met David Schwartz, who thinks big, David Schwartz? It's a good book. And there's a book. A few years ago, in my late twenties, I had a book written by James Allen called As a Man Thinketh, and each sentence is almost a short little book for the entire seminar, but it's dynamic, and be a great reader of its effects. Let me tell you about it at the seminar now. Right?

Reading books that you do not read is not helpful. For ten years, I read a thousand books twice a week. And if you read a thousand books for the next ten years, it will dramatically impact every stage and part of your life. You talk about two pains. Everyone will experience one of two pains. And I think this is one of my favorites. The reason is that it is so profound, truthful, and ultimate. It is universal. You will experience one of two pains. Can you talk about it? Discipline can be painful because it can accumulate. But regret can be overwhelming as it usually accumulates. Now the discipline has improved. But that's how it is in reality. If you train yourself to plant the seeds of spring

Now is the opportunity to harvest several times of math in the fall. Not thinking is not breeding. What you ignore. Eight years ago, I neglected to tell my friend. He suggested to me this small condo in Carmel, California, one bedroom, a small house. He said he wanted 800,000 dollars for this condo. I said, That's crazy. No one will pay 800,000 dollars for this condo. He said so. Let me know if you change your mind. I was ready to sell. And around the end of last year, I put it on the market for $650,000. It was a time when I had to listen to the positive aspect of the voice saying, I won't buy it. And he kept it for another eight years. So, thanks to the grace of the Lord in his prayers every night before falling asleep, I did not buy this condo for $80,000 at $650,000. Everything must be a lesson to be learned.

It could have been that way, but it should have been. I will make more prudent decisions in the future and strive harder. That is the best advice we can have. How about trying anything that seems like a bit of a waste of time? Then, one of the greatest pleasures for me, of course, is sharing ideas that have had a profound impact on my personal life, as well as the businesses I have accomplished so far, with others. It is a great joy. Whether you do it in Novosibirsk, Siberia, South Africa, India, or anywhere in the world, if you say something uniquely significant to your preferences, and if it can impact someone's life or start a process that affects someone's life, it is a wonderful experience. Yes, you have a list of things people should do. Everyone should have their own Manhattan in Manhattan. Oh, yes. Those are life experiences.

What is a fun experience that everyone should try? Try a Manhattan in Manhattan. In Australia, you must eat Australian lobster tail. In Boston, you should eat Boston Baked Beans. Maui onions are delicious, but you must try Maui onions in Maui. They are much tastier than Walla Walla onions. I'd rather eat onions. If you have to eat onions, Maui is better than Walla Walla. This is a list. In Canada, you should drink Canadian Dry. If you think long enough, a pretty good list comes to mind, and you can say, Oh, that's an experience I'd like to try. How are you spending your time? In Singapore, there is a Singapore Sling. Yes, I visited a few months ago. Singapore, yes. I just listed some fun experiences.

Yes, it was said that drinking under the sunset in Arizona and walking on the white sands of Camel are good. Please write this list. Get inspired. Yes, I started this lecture a long time ago, and it's surprising how many people have come up to me and said they added it to their list. Twenty years ago, when I heard this, I had been to a few places, and I'm writing that list. If I hadn't attended the seminar, I probably wouldn't have gone. It's exciting. You should have Idaho potatoes in Idaho. That's right. You are spending some time. It's also okay in Beverly Hills. But, of course, go on a trip. Yes, I have eaten Idaho potatoes in Idaho. So, how do you spend your time when you're not traveling? You are... Well, I used to ride a dirt bike and a Jeep trailer.

My daughter finally convinced me. Dad, I'm 75 years old and I don't really understand. So, now I'm dying. But I liked that kind of thing. Going up to Samgakdae and riding a zip line was one of the good ways to escape alone or with someone. I think it's really important to have time alone without cars or traffic lights. They say work for 6 days, rest for 6 days, work for 7 days, rest for 7 days, but I now call the 7th day multi-purpose, spiritual and friendship, escape. But shouldn't the 7th day, which is Chris's 7th day, be a time to look back on the past 6 days? What did I not do? What did I miss? What should I strengthen? And plan better for the next 6 days. I should plan better for the next 6 days. Among the things missed in the past 6 days.

This is part of it. This is one of the purposes of reviewing the 7th day, the 6th day, to better prepare for the next 6 days. This fascinating 57-minute discussion could have continued all day, and sometimes it does. Thank you sincerely for sharing your story that has had a significant impact on my life, like a daily or two-day lecture by Jim Rohn that influences globally. Thank you, Chris. Thank you. It's enjoyable to be here. It's not about the number of beautiful children, people who love you. It depends on your emotional state.
