The goal of effective communication should be for the listener to say, "Me, too!" versus "So what?"
Jim Rohn
Learn to express, not impress.
Jim Rohn
It's not the matter you cover so much as it is the manner in which you cover it.
Jim Rohn
Be brief on the logic and reason portion of your presentation. There are probably about a thousand facts about an automobile, but you don't need them all to make a decision. About a half dozen will do.
Jim Rohn
Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.
Jim Rohn
For effective communication, use brevity. Jesus said, "Follow me." Now that's brief! He could be brief because of all that he was that he didn't have to say.
Jim Rohn
You cannot speak that which you do not know. You cannot share that which you do not feel. You cannot translate that which you do not have. And you cannot give that which you do not possess. To give it and to share it, and for it to be effective, you first need to have it. Good communication starts with good preparation.
Jim Rohn
Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.
Jim Rohn
What is powerful is when what you say is just the tip of the iceberg of what you know.
Jim Rohn
If you just communicate, you can get by. But if you communicate skillfully, you can work miracles.
Jim Rohn
Don't mistake courtesy for consent.
Jim Rohn
It's so easy to make a mistake in language if you aren't careful. What if you meant to say, "What's troubling you?" and what you actually said was, "What's wrong with you?"
Jim Rohn
Real persuasion comes from putting more of you into everything you say. Words have an effect. Words loaded with emotion have a powerful effect.
Jim Rohn
Be careful of using inside lingo on the outside world.
Jim Rohn
Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.
Jim Rohn
Communication is the ability to affect other people with words.
Jim Rohn
The more you know, the less you need to say.
Jim Rohn
Don't be afraid to borrow if someone else has said it well. Winston Churchill said, "The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." That's so well said. You could stay up all night and not think of that.
Jim Rohn
The best advice I ever came across on the subject of concentration is: Wherever you are, be there.
Jim Rohn
When you work, work. When you play, play. Don't mix the two.
Jim Rohn
Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.
Jim Rohn
On the way to work, concentrate on the way - not on the work.
Jim Rohn
Pay attention. Don't just stagger through the day.
Jim Rohn
Debate refines a good idea. That's why we have two major parties in Congress. Somebody says, "I have a great idea for the country." We say, "Wonderful! Put it on the table. Let's debate." And we start the debate by questioning the guy who has this great idea. After the third question he says, "I withdraw my great idea. I forgot about those three questions."
Jim Rohn
There is plenty of time to argue with new ideas later. The key is to take careful notes first and debate second.
Jim Rohn
Always be willing to look at both sides of the argument. Understanding the other side is the best way to strengthen your own.
Jim Rohn
We need to teach our children how to debate the major life issues. Debate strengthens their beliefs and enables them to defend themselves against ideologies that are going to come their way.
Jim Rohn
Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a difference between a "must" and a "want."
Jim Rohn
The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, "I wish someone would come by and turn me on." What if they don't show up? You've got to have a better plan for your life.
Jim Rohn
When you know what you want, and you want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.
Jim Rohn
Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot.
Jim Rohn
Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.
Jim Rohn
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.
Jim Rohn
We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.
Jim Rohn
One discipline always leads to another discipline.
Jim Rohn
Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.
Jim Rohn
You don't have to change that much for it to make a great deal of difference. A few simple disciplines can have a major impact on how your life works out in the next 90 days, let alone in the next 12 months or the next 3 years.
Jim Rohn
The least lack of discipline starts to erode our self-esteem.
Jim Rohn
All disciplines affect each other. Mistakenly the man says, "This is the only area where I let down." Not true. Every let down affects the rest. Not to think so is naive.
Jim Rohn
Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.
