Creating lesson...
1
Somebody says, well, I used to read the books all the time.
2
I've just gotten out of the habit.
3
Then change it.
4
Go back into your disciplines.
5
If you've just gotten out of the habit, just get back into the habit.
6
It's called discipline.
7
If it doesn't work, don't do it any longer.
8
You can keep your fingers crossed if you want to and hope that it'll all straighten out.
9
You can wish for the wind not to blow quite as severely to change in your favor, but we call that naive at best.
10
If the habits that you've gotten into aren't serving you, change them.
11
You can't keep doing this any longer.
12
Don't wish for a better wind.
13
The key is to wish for the wisdom to set a better sail.
14
Utilize whatever wind that blows to take you where you want to go.
15
That is the philosophy I picked up at age 25 and it revolutionized my whole life.
16
And here's what I found.
17
I found it was easy.
18
I became a millionaire when I was 31 and I found it was easy.
19
Now here's my definition of easy.
20
It was something I could do.
21
I figure if it's something you can do, it's easy.
22
But here's a little parenthesis.
23
I worked hard at it.
24
I made sure my disciplines were in line.
25
I made sure my habits were good.
26
I made sure I did all that I could.
27
I found something that I could do, but I worked hard at it.
28
I got up early, stayed up late, and worked hard from age 25 to 31.
29
But what I did was easy, meaning it was something I could do.
30
Well, you say, Mr. Rohn, if it was so easy, how come during those six years all those other people around you didn't get rich?
31
Here's why.
32
It's easy not to.
33
How else would you describe it?
34
That's it.
35
It's easy to keep doing the things that don't work.
36
It's easy to keep bad habits.
37
It's easy not to develop the disciplines.
38
It's easy not to.
39
So how come I got rich and they didn't?
40
Here's a philosophical phrase.
41
The things that are easy to do are also easy not to do.
42
That's the difference between success and failure.
43
Between daydreams and ambitions.
44
Here's the key formula for success.
45
A few disciplines practice every day.
46
And those disciplines have to be well thought out.
47
What should you spend your time doing?
48
Don't waste your time on things that aren't going to matter.
49
But a few simple disciplines can change your whole economic future.
50
Future with your family, future with your business, future with your enterprise, your sales career, your management career.
51
A few simple disciplines.
52
A few simple habits.
53
Good habits.
54
Repeat it every day.
55
Now here's the formula for failure.
56
Errors in judgment.
57
Repeat it every day.
58
All you've got to do is to have a few errors in your judgment and repeat them every day.
59
I'm telling you, they'll spin out of control in 10 years.
60
You'll end up driving what you don't want to drive, wearing what you don't want to wear, living where you don't want to live, earning what you don't want to earn,
61
a few errors every day, bad habits every day, it's disastrous.
62
Now, here's why it's easy to repeat an error in judgment, because failure doesn't fall at the end of the first day.
63
Bad habits don't show their horrible results at the end of the first day, or the first week or the first month.
64
It's easy to get faked out.
65
If disaster fell on us at the end of the first week, we'd change our philosophy.
66
But it's so subtle, errors in judgment, bad habits.
67
They're so subtle.
68
They get you a little off course, a little off course, a little off course.
69
You keep drifting off course.
70
And all of a sudden you're caught.
71
So you've got the choice right now of one of two easies, easy to do or easy not to do.
72
I can give you in one sentence how I got rich by the time I was 31.
73
I did not neglect to do the easy things I could do for six years.
74
I did not neglect.
75
That's the key.
76
I found something easy I could do that led to fortune.
77
and I did not neglect to do it.
78
The major reason for not having more of what you want in America, more health, more money, more power, more influence, more everything.
79
The major reason is simple neglect.
80
Neglect.
81
And if you don't take care of neglect, it becomes an infection and then it becomes a disease.
82
So if you're in the habit of not doing it, Doing all it takes to get ahead, get in the habit of doing it.
83
Doing all it takes.
84
That's the first benefit of positive reinforcement, building good habits.
85
Now, the second benefit of positive reinforcement is that it creates the energy to fuel additional achievement.
86
It gives you the drive to do more, to not only keep on doing what's right, but to do more of what's right.
87
the disciplines that will help you grow
88
and get ahead of it all the knowledge that what you're doing is paying off creates more energy to keep going
89
how easy is it to get up in the morning
90
when you know you're not doing all
91
that it takes it's not very easy at all you can
92
just lay there awake thinking oh what's a few more minutes in bed It won't matter much anyway.
93
Wrong.
94
It does matter.
95
It will matter.
96
Now, how easy is it to get up in the morning when you're pouring it on, doing the best you can, anxious to get going, make progress toward your dreams?
97
It's a whole different story.
98
When you're resting to renew your reserves, it's much different than resting to avoid your day.
99
When you're psyched up and excited for your life, when you're excited for what you've planned to accomplish for the day,
100
it's amazing you'll wake up before the alarm clock even tries to startle you awake.
101
Your successes fuel your ambition.
102
Your successes give you extra energy.
103
Your successes pave the way for more successes.
104
It's the snowball effect.
105
With one success, you're excited to meet another, and another, and another.
106
And pretty soon, the disciplines that were so difficult in the beginning, the disciplines that got you going are now part of your philosophy.
107
How do you know when you're successful?
108
Do you have to be a millionaire?
109
No. All we ask of you is that you earn all you possibly can.
110
If you earn 10,000 a year and that's the best you can do, that's enough.
111
God and everything else will see to it that you're okay.
112
The key is to just do the best you can.
113
If it's 10,000 a year, wonderful.
114
If it's 100,000 a year, wonderful.
115
If it's a million a year, wonderful.
116
It doesn't matter 10,000 a year or a million a year.
117
It doesn't matter as long as you've done the best you possibly can.
118
Earn the most you possibly can.
119
Be the most you possibly can.
120
And here's why.
121
The essence of life is growth.
122
The essence of life is growth.
123
To do the best you can. And here's what's interesting.
124
humans are the only life form that will do less than they possibly can.
125
Humans are the only life form that will settle for less.
126
Every other life form except human beings strive to its maximum capacity.
127
How tall will a tree grow?
128
Approximately.
129
As tall as it possibly can.
130
You never heard of a tree growing half as high as it could.
131
No, trees don't grow half.
132
Trees send their roots down as deep as possible stretch their limbs up as high as possible
133
produce every leaf possible and every fruit possible as A matter of fact,
134
you never heard of a human physically growing half We keep growing until we're done Now that's a part of life.
135
We can't control it's genetically coded and That's probably why we keep growing till we're done because we can't control that part.
136
It's the rest of our growing that we control, the growing of our minds, the expansion of our minds, that we can control.
137
And that's what tends to get away from us.
138
All life forms inherently strive to their max except human beings.
139
Now, why wouldn't human beings strive to their maximum possibility?
140
Here's why.
141
because we've been given the dignity of choice.
142
It makes us different than alligators and trees and birds.
143
The dignity of choice makes us different than all other life forms.
144
And here's the choice to become part of what we could be, enough to get by or to become all that we can be.
145
My best advice for you is to choose the all.
146
Earn all you can.
147
Make all the friends you can.
148
Read as many books as you can.
149
Develop as many skills as you can.
150
See as much as possible.
151
Do as much as possible.
152
Make as much fortune as possible.
153
Give as much of it away as possible.
154
The max.
155
There's no life like it.
156
I'm telling you, once I got on track, I've never looked back.
157
Pick up the challenge.
158
Go for it.
159
Take the best of the two easies.
160
Take the root of, it's easy to get ahead.
161
It's easy to do all you can.
162
It's easy to succeed.
163
It's easy to have financial freedom.
164
The more you do, the more you get.
165
whenever you prepare correctly taking all of the steps you're supposed
166
to take doing everything in your power to stay on track
167
whenever your preparations lead to success achieving your goals you reinforce the disciplines
168
that got you there success leads to reinforcement of the proper disciplines
169
if what you're doing is working keep doing it if what you're doing isn't working, change it.
170
When you are doing all that you can possibly do and are successful at reaching your expectations, keep doing it.
171
Success is a reinforcement.
172
Psychologists call this positive reinforcement.
173
We all know about positive reinforcement.
174
That's how we train our dogs.
175
That's how we teach our kids.
176
That's how the trainers at SeaWorld can get a killer whale to do tricks
177
and follow commands and work side by side with humans by positive reinforcement.
178
When you bring a brand new puppy home and try to teach him not to mess in the house, what do you do?
179
You reward him for going outside or scratching at the door.
180
When you're trying to get your toddler out of the diaper stage, what do you do?
181
You reward her with special presents, make her feel special for learning something new.
182
When you're trying to get your older kids to crack the books and study, what do you do?
183
You reward them when they get good grades.
184
You teach them that the skills they are developing now will have great positive effects on their lives later.
185
But you reward them now.
186
This is positive reinforcement.
187
Learning that there are rewards for doing something good, something worthwhile, something of value.
188
The greater the value, the greater the reward.
189
The better you do, the better your reward.
190
The greater the value, the greater the reward.
191
A bigger paycheck, a better house, financial freedom.
192
It's all a reward system.
193
Now, there are two major benefits of positive reinforcement.
194
Number one, positive reinforcement builds good habits.
195
If what you are doing, the habits you've gotten into,
196
are building your ambition and increasing your success keep doing them your success is reaffirming
197
that these habits are good your success tells you
198
that you need to keep doing what you are doing by reviewing these habits
199
that bring on success you reinforce them give them sticking power Now here's the other side.
200
By reviewing your habits, what you do every day, by reviewing your habits, you may find out that some of them are inhibiting your success.
201
You may find out that what you're doing every day is bad for you, or you may realize that you've gotten out of some very good habits.
202
Somebody says, well, I've just gotten out of the habit of taking my daily walk around the block.
203
Well, I guess you'll just have to get in the habit of being sick down the road.
Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
Engaging with this inspiring video featuring Jim Rohn can significantly enhance your English speaking skills. By practicing the shadowing technique, you mimic the speaker’s intonation, rhythm, and pronunciation, which helps improve fluency and confidence. It’s an excellent resource for IELTS speaking practice as well. By articulating Rohn’s motivational messages, you not only learn vocabulary but also gain exposure to how expressive language can convey powerful ideas.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
In the transcript, several key structures exemplify effective English usage:
- Conditional Statements: "If it doesn't work, don't do it any longer." This structure helps in expressing hypotheses and outcomes, a crucial skill for both spoken and written English.
- Imperative Sentences: "Change them." Imperatives are commonly used in advice-giving contexts and enhance command and instruction abilities.
- Comparative Forms: "It's easy to keep doing the things that don't work." This comparison illustrates the contrasting choices we face and demonstrates the use of 'easy' in practical contexts.
By practicing these structures, you can effectively communicate similar ideas in your discussions and presentations, ultimately helping you improve English pronunciation.
Common Pronunciation Traps
When watching and practicing with this video, pay attention to certain tricky words and phrases:
- "Discipline": It’s essential to emphasize both syllables correctly to convey the meaning accurately.
- "Wisdom": The 'w' sound may be challenging; practice pronouncing it by focusing on the initial sound.
- "Philosophical": This longer word can trip up speakers; break it into syllables: phi-los-o-phi-cal.
Listening carefully to Jim Rohn’s delivery can help you avoid these pitfalls. As you learn English with YouTube, repeating these challenging words aloud will enhance your clarity and confidence while speaking.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
