1. Your Achievement Article
Don't Send Your Ducks to Eagle School by Jim Rohn (Excerpted from Leading an Inspired Life)
The first rule of management is this: don't send your ducks to eagle school. Why? Because it won't work. Good people are found not changed. They can change themselves, but you can't change them. You want good people, you have to find them. If you want motivated people, you have to find them, not motivate them.
I picked up a magazine not long ago in New York that had a full-page ad in it for a hotel chain. The first line of the ad read, “We do not teach our people to be nice.’ Now that got my attention. The second line said, “We hire nice people.’ I thought, “what a cleaver shortcut!’
Motivation is a mystery. Why are some people motivated and some are not? Why does one salesperson see his first prospect at seven in the morning while the other sees his first prospect at eleven in the morning? Why would one start at seven and the other start at eleven? I don't know. Call it “mysteries of the mind.’
I give lectures to a thousand people at a time. One walks out and says, ‘I'm going to change my life.’ Another walks out with a yawn and says, “I've heard all this stuff before.’ Why is that?
The wealthy man says to a thousand people, “I read this book, and it started
me on the road to wealth.’ Guess how many of the thousand go out and get the
book? Answer: very few. Isn't that incredible? Why wouldn't everyone go get the
book? Mysteries of the mind...
To one person, you have to say, “You'd better slow down. You can't work that many hours, do that many things, go, go, go. You're going to have a heart attack and die.’ And to another person, you have to say, “When are you going to get off the couch?’ What is the difference? Why wouldn't everyone strive to be wealthy and happy?
Chalk it up to mysteries of the mind, and don't waste your time trying to turn ducks into eagles. Hire people who already have the motivation and drive to be eagles and then just let them soar.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Your Achievement Quotes
PATIENCE
"Americans are incredibly inpatient. Someone once said that the shortest period of time in America is the time between when the light turns green and when you hear the first horn honk." -- Jim Rohn
"Patience is a bitter plant that produces sweet fruit." -- Charles Swindoll
"Patience is a must for success...unless you simply cannot wait on it...then your success garden dies from lack of care..." -- Doug Firebaugh
"Patience makes lighter what sorrow may not heal." -- Horace
PERCEPTION/OPINION
"We don't see things as they are. We see them as we are." -- Anais Nin
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -- Maya Angelou
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one." -- Albert Einstein
"Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world." -- George Bernard Shaw
PERSEVERANCE/PERSISTENCE
"Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance." -- Samuel Johnson
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." -- Calvin Coolidge
"Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning." -- Denis Waitley
"The last dejected effort often becomes the winning stroke." -- W.J. Cameron
"The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender." Vince Lombardi

3. Your Achievement Tips
Your Brain is the Greatest Computer Ever Created by Ron White
Have you ever walked into a room and couldn't remember what you went there for? Have you ever grasped the hand of a potential client and then when the handshake broke, the name seemed to disappear from your memory? Or have you ever left a prospect and as you drove away remembered a key point that you should have shared with them?
Of course you have... we all have. However, I have some great news for you. Your memory is nowhere near as bad as you may think it is. Recently, I was a guest at a radio station in Waco. The disc jockey wrote a 50-digit number on a sheet of paper and told his listening audience and then played a three-minute song for his audience.
As the listeners enjoyed the song I memorized the 50-digit number. When the song was over we went back live on the air and I handed him the paper. I then proceeded to say the number forwards and then I said it backwards. The disc jockey looked at me in utter disbelief and stunned he said, 'Ron... you are incredible!' I looked him straight in the eye and replied, 'You know... you are right!' I said, 'Jay, the greatest computer ever created does not come from Dell or Gateway. The greatest computer ever created does not sit on the assembly line of a computer factory. Instead, you and I are the greatest computers ever created. And yes... you are right. I am incredible... but so are you.'
The human memory has the ability to hear a 100 digit number or more once and then repeat it forwards and backwards, it has the ability to memorize a Shakespearean play word for word or memorize the stats of every baseball player for the last 100 years, and the human memory has the capability to meet 100 people in 20 minutes and recall every single name!
Now, the question is, are you doing these things? If not, the reason is simply that you have not been trained to. Two thousand years ago a Greek named Simonedes developed a memory method called 'Loci'. With this method, Simonedes numbered locations in his home. He started in the doorway and then logically proceeded around his home. He reviewed these items so many times mentally that if you asked him what was number 25 then he could instantly tell you what piece of furniture that number corresponded to.
These 25 objects were actually mental files for Simonedes. Then if he had a list of items he wanted to recall he would place them mentally on these objects in his home. Let's say that you are a professional who wants to give a speech without notes. Simply turn the key points into pictures and then file them to your 'house files'. When you are called upon to speak simply mentally walk through the house and give your talk without notes.
For example, recently I gave a one hour keynote in Atlanta at a home builders conference. I wrote my speech out the night before. The first thing I wanted to do was talk about the book, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People.' So I visualized the book on my front door and then mentally walked through my house and gave the one hour talk without notes! That can work for you as well. Anything that you want to recall simply turn it into a picture, place it on your house files and get ready to be amazed! YOU are the greatest computer ever created!
