The promise of the future is an awesome force.

We look back for experience,

but we have to look forward now for inspiration.

And what gives us inspiration to get up in the morning and do our job,

learn skills, develop all that we can possibly be,

is the promise of the future.

And it can be so powerful that it can overwhelm any adversary you might have,

any difficulties you might have.

Here's a key phrase.

Reasons make the difference in your appetite and zest for taking on the challenge,

doing the job, becoming successful.

You can overcome the most unbelievable challenges if you have enough reasons.

There's an ancient phrase, here's what it says,

if you try to save your life, you will lose it.

But if you will lose your life,

meaning if you will invest your life,

that's the best way to save it and to multiply it many times over.

So here's the phrase, investing life into life has the potential of creating miracles.

Investing life into life creates a new baby,

but investing life into life with ideas,

information, association, influence can create enterprise,

can create a corporation, can create a business,

can create a movement, can create something that benefits many more people

than just those few that might have invested in each other's lives.

So make this note now.

You never know who's in the audience.

So you don't know who's out there that's going to make an impact on the world,

that's going to do extraordinary things.

So here's what you must always do.

Always be sincere and always do your best,

no matter who you talk to,

because you just don't know.

You just don't know who's there ready or when the timing is right.

So jot this down.

It takes more than one voice to help us to see,

help us to think, help us to make decisions, help us to evaluate.

It takes a variety of personalities,

messages, points of view, the weight of experience.

If it comes from several sources,

it can be just incredibly valued when you sum total it.

Okay, let's talk about setting goals.

When I first met Earl Shoaf,

not long after we had met each other,

he asked me, Mr. Rohn,

maybe here's one of the best ways I can help you.

He said, let me see your current list of goals and let's go over them and talk about it.

He said, I've got the experience.

And he said, let's do it.

And I said to him,

I don't have a list.

He said, well, if you don't have a list of your goals,

he said, I can guess your bank balance within a few hundred dollars.

Which he did.

And I thought, isn't that something?

Then I said to him,

you mean if I had a list of goals,

it would change my bank balance?

He said, drastically.

So that got my attention.

And all those years ago,

I learned how to set goals.

We're primarily affected by five things.

Number one is the environment,

the political environment, the social environment, the physical environment.

Whatever surrounds us affects us,

the city, the country, the countryside,

the village, the office, the people We're constantly affected

and shaped by our reaction and decision making A lot of it depends on the environment And for the physical environment,

we all need to pay attention to that Make every contribution you can It's one little small planet.

Remember those first pictures from space?

Looking back on Earth.

It looked so fragile.

It looked so small.

We thought, wow, so many people live there.

How can that be?

We must take care of it.

Right now, it's the only planet we've got.

Do everything we can.

My mama taught me those little things, right?

Pick up, don't leave your trash.

You know, a little thing like,

I remember I got a toothpick once at the cafe.

And I took the little cellophane off the toothpick and I just dropped it on the floor.

Mama said, no, no, you wouldn't do that at home.

I thought, wow.

She said, just put it in your pocket.

And then when you get home,

you put it in the trash.

And somebody said, well, what the difference does that make?

You know, the little cellophane on the toothpick.

Here's what makes the difference, the habit.

and the habit makes the difference primarily for you.

Now, yes, it makes a contribution and a little small contribution by not leaving trash,

but here's what it does mostly.

Give you the incredible feeling of self-worth because you have good habits.

That's the deal.

The habit of turning out the lights when you're finished with your hotel room.

You leave the hotel room, turn out the lights.

It just makes a small contribution,

100

but what if everybody did it?

101

I'm telling you, the energy requirements would be less.

102

You say, well, the hotel gets the benefit.

103

Hey, it doesn't matter to you who gets the benefit.

104

Guess what's the greatest benefit?

105

Being a person of unique habits.

106

Habits that not only make you perform as far as skills are concerned,

107

but habits that make you feel good about yourself.

108

If it's so easy to do,

109

why not do all the easy things that make a contribution?

110

And who knows what the total contribution could be if we all did it,

111

but even if everybody doesn't,

112

if you do it and if I do it,

113

it just makes us better human beings.

114

It makes us feel better about ourselves.

115

And if I know you do it,

116

it makes me feel better about you.

117

And if you know I do it,

118

I think it makes you feel better about me me.

119

Here's two excellent questions to jot down and this is for mature people now

120

because these are kind of tough questions, especially one.

121

Here's the first question, what's got you turned on?

122

That's a good list to make.

123

Here's what's got me turned on.

124

Here's what's got me up early,

125

staying up late, maximizing my abilities all day long.

126

Here's the list of what's got me turned on.

127

Now here's the next question.

128

What's got you turned off?

129

How come you don't have the zest and the vitality and the appetite for daily accomplishment?

130

I started making a list of the things that had me turned off and once I got that settled

131

and then started making a list of what had me turned on and what would turn me on in the future.

132

I'm telling you, my life has never been the same.

133

It was like a revolution,

134

a personal revolution, a 180 degree turn.

135

Wow.

136

I can't say it's strong enough.

137

It's easy to get lazy in designing the day

138

and designing the year and designing the future

139

and designing what you want to accomplish and Just cross your fingers and hope it'll all work out,

140

that the favorable winds will blow it all your way.

141

I'm telling you, it's not gonna happen.

142

Now, here's the next exercise.

143

This will take now just a little bit of time.

144

And the question is why?

145

Why are those four goals important to you?

146

So make these notes now.

147

When the why gets stronger, the how gets easier.

148

When the why gets big,

149

powerful, strong, how seems to be so much easier.

150

Without a strong enough why,

151

the how seems to be too difficult almost to accomplish.

152

Say, how do you manage your time?

153

Hey, if you had strong and powerful enough goals,

154

you'd figure out how to manage your time.

155

You'd get a book on the subject.

156

You know, you'd do something to manage your time if it was worth it.

157

If it's not worth it,

158

you know, why would you bother studying the art of managing your time if it really doesn't matter?

159

But if it really mattered in the accomplishment of your goals and why you wish to accomplishment,

160

see you can do anything.

161

You can get up any hour,

162

read any book, take any class,

163

make any change, develop any skill, do any discipline.

164

I mean, you can do it all when this how and the why,

165

or when the why starts to grow.

166

The how gets simple.

167

Little note, maybe one of your goals was to have a million dollar home on the hill overlooking Snake River Valley.

168

Okay, that'd be a good goal.

169

A million-dollar home.

170

Here's the next question.

171

What for?

172

What for?

173

I mean, a house is a house is a house with bricks and wood and walls and roof.

174

The key, yes, million-dollar home,

175

that'd be wonderful, but what for?

176

And what for?

177

So now jot this down.

178

Purpose is stronger than object.

179

The object would be the house and that'll pull.

180

That's a worthy goal to go for,

181

the object of the house.

182

But here's a stronger goal,

183

the purpose for the million dollar home.

184

You say, well, it'll be the centerpiece of all the family's activity with all kinds of unique people coming

185

and going and the influence and things will be happening in this place.

186

See, now we're getting somewhere.

187

So, if you got that line,

188

it's one of my best for the whole day.

189

Purpose is stronger than object.

190

It's okay to have plenty of objects to go for on your goal list.

191

But always keep asking yourself the question,

192

and sometimes it's good to just write it out.

193

Here's why I want this money.

194

Here's why I want this place.

195

Here's why.

196

And you start developing those reasons.

197

And I'm telling you now,

198

this starts to become incredibly powerful.

199

Some of your goals should be personal development.

200

The person you wish to become.

201

Develop skills that make you attractive to the marketplace.

202

Develop the temperament and the attitude that makes you attractive to the business world

203

The attitude and the temperament that makes you a splendid father Studying the art because here's what's important.

204

It's not what you get that makes you valuable It's what you become that makes you value.

205

I keep saying this year after year for the last 39 years publicly It's the person you become

206

The idea of becoming an attractive person,

207

a skillful person, a good friend,

208

a good colleague, a good partner,

209

a good member of the round table, a contributor.

210

See, that's the key, the person you become.

211

I mean this, I'm telling you this stuff changed my life,

212

altered the course of my life.

213

From milking cows to sitting on this stool.

214

Incredible.

215

What a journey.

216

And part of the explosive stimulation started when I met Earl Shoff and he asked me,

217

have you got a list of goals?

218

And I said, no. And he said,

219

then I can guess your bank balance.

220

I thought, whoa.

221

I immediately started studying the art and the art and the accomplishments of it helped to change my life.

222

Now I want you to answer this question.

223

What kind of person must I become to achieve all I want?

224

And I'll give you time to write that down now.

225

What kind of person must I become to achieve all I want?

226

What you become helps you to achieve and what you achieve helps you to become.

227

And the more you become,

228

the more you can achieve,

229

and the more you achieve,

230

the more you can become.

231

Who knows which affects the other the most?

232

This is time for a little truth here.

233

Maybe you need to become much wiser than you are at the moment.

234

You need to become stronger.

235

You need to have better health.

236

Maybe you need a little coaching.

237

To really become the person I want to become,

238

I'm going to have to have some coaching.

239

Physical coaching, spiritual coaching, developing skills coaching.

240

To be the influence you want to be,

241

you've got to build an incredible reputation.

242

What kind of person must I be to attract all

243

that I want in my life and the people that I want and the opportunities that I want?

244

When you knock on the door and opportunity opens,

245

you must stand there as a very attractive person or you may not be invited in.

246

One of the most mysterious and unique phrases that Jesus ever used.

247

Here's what he said.

248

I stand at the door and knock.

249

And if you open the door,

250

would you probably invite him in?

251

This extraordinary person.

252

You say, wow, yeah.

253

And he said, if you invite me, I'll come in.

254

We'll sit down

255

Talk things over

256

For you to be that kind of attractive person that

257

if you knocked on the door of opportunity and it opened and you stood there

258

Would you be the kind of person that opportunity would say come right in these notes?

259

The key is to put everything on your list now the key is to take it out of your head

260

and put it on paper paper.

261

You know, you can dream about what you want,

262

but when you start committing it to paper, now it more formalizes.

263

Information now starts to make a composite of an idea.

264

And ideas can turn into hotels,

265

ideas can turn into enterprises,

266

ideas can turn into a fabulous career.

267

We need the information, we need the stimulation.

268

But then you'll learn now later to start putting everything on your list.

269

Now, jot this down, it's very important if something's not that important to you to take it off your list.

270

You don't have to accomplish this whole list.

271

But if you had 100 items on your list and you accomplished 80,

272

who cares about the other 20?

273

If you got the biggest share of what you went for,

274

wouldn't that be enough?

275

And the answer is probably yes, it'd be overwhelming.

276

Okay, so you can rearrange this list,

277

you can change it, you can tear it up and start over.

278

You can say, oh, you know,

279

last year I thought this was so important.

280

That's not important to me anymore.

281

The things I've learned in the last 12 months,

282

I've changed my whole goal list.

283

I thought this was so it.

284

There's two great words of antiquity everybody should learn.

285

Here they are, one's positive and one's negative.

286

Here's the positive word from antiquity, behold.

287

That's the positive word.

288

Behold the possibilities, behold the opportunity,

289

behold the future and give it design.

290

Behold and look at the chances you've got.

291

Behold spring has come.

292

Behold the day has arrived and the sun is shining and the shadows are fleeing away.

293

the next person you can meet might be your friend for life.

294

Behold, the next person might be a colleague forever.

295

Behold, that's the positive word, behold.

296

Now, here's the negative word, beware.

297

Now I want to give you a sentence to jot down that's very valuable.

298

Here's what it is, beware of what you become in pursuit of what you want.

299

Beware.

300

All of our lives, we have to deal with behold and beware.

301

When a kid goes to school,

302

it's behold the opportunity and beware the dangers.

303

Behold and beware.

304

So beware of what you become pursuing what you want.

305

Some things I went for in the very beginning cost me too much.

306

I got so obsessed with some things that I found out later the price was too big to pay.

307

If I would have known better,

308

I never would have paid.

309

But sometimes we learn when?

310

After.

311

After.

312

So don't become so obsessed with something that you lose your sense of reason or it costs you your friends.

313

Don't be so obsessed with something that you compromise your virtues and your values.

314

Here's a key phrase, the greatest source of unhappiness is self-unhappiness.

315

It's not from outside the things that make us unhappy.

316

The greatest devastating unhappiness is to be unhappy with yourself.

317

Now, a mild form of unhappiness is constructive.

318

The desperate form of unhappiness is destructive.

319

It's like worry.

320

We should all worry a little,

321

but not let it destroy our lives.

322

If you're in New York about to step off the curb in downtown Manhattan and the yellow taxi's coming,

323

best you worry.

324

Enough to get your feet back up on the curb,

325

lest you get yourself wiped out.

326

So it's called caution, but not undue caution.

327

It's called fear and worry,

328

but not the worry that kills you,

329

not the worry that destroys you.

330

It's like hate.

331

You know, you don't need to hate your job.

332

Save your hate for the important things like evil,

333

like the weeds that attack your garden.

334

Like the diabolical ideas that try to entice your children.

335

You don't need to hate everything.

336

I hate this, I hate that.

337

That's the misuse of your hate.

338

Save it for the things we really must hate.

339

And now here's the last note.

340

If you'll start this glorious journey of being meticulous,

341

deliberate, and hardworking about setting your goals for the day,

342

setting your goals for the month and the year,

343

setting your goals for your family and yourself and your business and your colleagues, start thinking forward.

344

Here's what you will become,

345

a major contributor not only to yourself,

346

but a major contributor to others.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
