Jim Rohn was an EXTRAORDINARY man.  He grew up on a farm and met one man that helped him learn how to change his life.  In this short talk Mr. Rohn shares how sad it is when people blame everything except for themselves for not making it in life.  Some of his most famous stories include:

Over the years I've been teaching children about a simple but powerful concept - the ant philosophy. I think everybody should study ants. 

They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're headed somewhere and you try to stop them; they'll look for another way. 

They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you're supposed to go. 

Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important perspective. You can't be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer. 

An ancient story says, "Don't build your house on the sand in the summer." Why do we need that advice? Because it is important to be realistic. In the summer, you've got to think storm. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead....

Wow, what a great seminar to attend - the ant seminar. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
