For the past weeks, I've been reading more and more compared from what I used to be doing.
I recently read that based on our knowledge in some areas, our answers to any issues that come up would be different. Hence, if we don't know much about finance, economics, marketing or else, we won't be able to make the right decision when the time comes.
I'm working on a chart right now that I will be using from now on to put in any new information about a subject I'm currently on. That way, I'll be able to see the progress I'm doing in that area and at the same time be able to manage all the areas of my life I want to improve.

Work from a list
Working from a list, even without setting priorities helped me achieve 60% of what I wanted to accomplish.
I guess now, it is pretty self-explanatory that I need to work from a list on a consistent basis to get everything I want done fast and effectively.

"The passing of a Legend"
On December 5th, 2009, Jim Rohn passed away.
He inspired me a lot and he will still be someone I admire for all the knowledge and teaching materials he was able to leave behind him.
My prayers go to his family and loved ones. I hope he is now in a better place!
Rest in peace Mister Jim Rohn.
With all well-deserved respect.

Bought my journal... only $4.99!
After watching some Jim Rohn's inspirational videos when he said why some people do and some don't. He said that around only 10% of all the people he ever talked to about having a journal, actually go out and get one!
I felt to myself like I didn't want to be in that category of people not committed to a simple disciple!
So I went out and bought mine for only $4.99.
I was so excited to write the first thing that was valuable at moment that I had to cross some words out because of misspellings and writing too fast!
I can only imagine that just for the feelings I have right now, it already worths more than $4.99!

Always learning
A couple years ago, I thought I would have stopped to go to school by a certain age. The main reason for that was that I didn't want to spend all my life in college as a student. It didn't make more sense for me at that time! (I was 25).
After just over two years now since I left my country, I think way different now.
Learning and keep on learning is the base of all my successes! As soon as I stopped learning or stopped improving my skills and knowledge, I felt like my overall value went down. In the workplace, it usually means you are not attractive anymore!

What is Personal Development for me?
Hi everyone,
anybody who heard about "Personal Development" must know about Jim Rohn. From the first time I heard about him, I have been inspired everytime I listen to one of his audio message.
In "4 questions to ponder", Jim Rohn asks four powerful questions to anybody.
1/ "WHY?
Why work this hard?
Why take that many classes?
Why go to school that many years?
Why take the notes? Why read the books?
Why go through the push-ups and the disciplines?"
All those questions can relate to all of us. That is also why I think this serie of questions is powerful. Anyone can see himself or herself going to class or reading a book!
For him, the best answer to "Why" is the second question...
2/ "Why not?"
Why not see how many books you can read?
Why not see how many classes you can take?
Why not see how many skills you can develop?
Why not see how valuable you can become?"
Usually, people look at money as the main goal in life. Always trying to have more money, always trying to have the highest wages?
In my life, so far, i've been in situations where I didn't have that much money, where I had money and where I didn't have enough money. Looking back, I always knew it was possible to get more money, by working harder or by knowing the right person to have the job I wanted (along with the high wages).
After listening to Jim Rohn's "Four questions to ponder", it appears to me that the most difficult challenge I've had so far not being able to achieve is to develop my potential to the highest degree. I was always able to get and show the skills needed for an interview but was that my overall limit? I don't think so!
Everybody has this "inside voice" that tells us:" you can do much better" or "you worth much more than that!". We are all scared to a certain degree about not having enough money to pay our bills or to do what ever we want to do. So far, (and I'm knocking on wood at the same time!! ^^), I never really lacked of money. So money isn't really a challenge I guess! But what's for sure is that I know I haven't reached my full potential! I haven't showed all the things that I can bring!
"Personal Development" means much more to me. Just like Jim Rohn said:"Why not see what I can make of my life?". That question to me is the most challenging question noone ever asked me!!!
