Jim Rohn – Do the Best You Can

I find this audio of Jim Rohn very interesting and inspiring. Whatever you do, give it the best that you can. Perfect to start the week!

Remembering Steve Jobs

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life,” says Steve Jobs. From the day he was born on February 24, 1955, Steven Paul Jobs has been blazing his own path. As the CEO of Apple Computer and CEO and Chairman of Pixar, Jobs is today recognized as one of the top leaders and visionaries of both the computer and entertainment industries and is worth an estimated $4.4 billion.”

Wim Hof – Mind Over Matter With the Iceman

Wim seems like an average guy. He has no missing limbs or senses, but he has made an interesting discovery about the power of his mind. Wim controls his internal thermostat with his mind, producing heat at will and withstanding freezing temperatures in a way that is medically impossible.

Wim’s story should motivate us all and give us reason to ask, Why Not? Just because the facts and the proof state that something is impossible or unrealistic, does that make it so?

Ben Underwood – Inspiration Against the Odds

Imagine a person with no eyes who lives his life to the fullest as if he can see. That person is Ben Underwood. At 3 years old, he lost his eyes to cancer; but his mother repeatedly reminded him of the abilities that he had left. Ben took his mother’s positive outlook to a new level. “I don’t consider myself blind,” he boasts.

Ben taught himself to see with sound by using echolocation. Bike riding, skating, book writing, basketball, video games, school, surfing, running up and down the stairs—he does it all. And Ben does not use a guide dog or a cane.

Millionaire Chris Gardner: Homeless But Not Hopeless

Chris Gardner wears a $10,000 watch on each wrist. On the right hand is a Cartier set to Chicago time, and on the left is a Roger Dubuis set to South African time. “I was late once and it cost me $50,000,” explains Gardner. “I figure it was cheaper to wear two watches.” For a man who not too long ago had only two suits to his name and could not even afford to pay rent, Gardner has come a long way. From living on the streets and bathing in public restrooms to owning a successful multi-million dollar stock brokerage firm, Gardner is living out the American dream.

The Ant philosophy – Jim Rohn

The ant philosophy is one of persistence and determination. There is no event that will stop the ant. It will keep going until it dies. Ants – they never quit! Try and stop them, and they will look for another way. They will climb up, clumb under, climb around. They never quit looking for a way. If they are headed somewhere, they will get there. Never quit looking for where you are supposed to go.
