Read All The Books by Jim Rohn
All of the books that we will ever need to make us as rich, as
healthy, as happy, as powerful, as sophisticated and as successful
as we want to be have already been written.
People from all walks of life, people with some of the most
incredible life experiences, people that have gone from pennies to
fortune and from failure to success have taken the time to write
down their experiences so that we might share in their wealth of
knowledge. They have offered their wisdom and experience so that we
can be inspired by it and instructed by it, and so that we can amend
our philosophy by it. Their contributions enable us to reset our
sail based upon their experiences. They have handed us the gift of
their insights so that we can change our plans, if need be, in order
to avoid their errors. We can rearrange our lives based on their
wise advice.
All of the insights that we might ever need have already been
captured by others in books. The important question is this: In the
last ninety days, with this treasure of information that could
change our lives, our fortunes, our relationships, our health, our
children and our careers for the better, how many books have we
read?
Why do we neglect to read the books that can change our lives? Why
do we complain but remain the same? Why do so many of us curse the
effect but nourish the cause? How do we explain the fact that only a
small percent of our entire national population uses the library
card they possess - a card that would give us access to all of the
answers to success and happiness we could ever want? Those who wish
for the better life cannot permit themselves to miss the books that
could have a major impact on how their lives turn out. The book they
miss will not help!
And the issue is not that books are too expensive! If a person
concludes that the price of buying the book is too great, wait until
he must pay the price for not buying it. Wait until he receives the
bill for continued and prolonged ignorance.
There is very little difference between someone who cannot read and
someone who will not read. The result of either is ignorance. Those
who are serious seekers of personal development must remove the
self-imposed limitations they have placed on their reading skills
and their reading habits. There is a multitude of classes being
taught on how to be a good reader and there are thousands of books
on the shelves of the public libraries just waiting to be read.
Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.
We must not permit anything to stand between us and the book that
could change our lives.
A little reading each day will result in a wealth of valuable
information in a very short period of time. But if we fail to set
aside the time, if we fail to pick up the book, if we fail to
exercise the discipline, then ignorance will quickly move in to fill
the void.
Those who seek a better life must first become a better person. They
must continually seek after self-mastery for the purpose of
developing a balanced philosophy of life, and then live in
accordance with the dictates of that philosophy. The habit of
reading is a major stepping-stone in the development of a sound
philosophical foundation. And in my opinion it is one of the
fundamentals required for the attainment of success and happiness.
