Reflection – Jim Rohn

After watching a video of Jim Rohn “Living an Exceptional Life” and understanding the whole and main concept of this video, I seem to better my living lots. Jim Rohn, the man many consider to be America's Foremost Business Philosopher, shared his success philosophies and principles for over 46 years, with more than 6,000 audiences and over five million people worldwide, and his rags to riches story played a large part in his work, which influenced others in the personal development industry. Undoubtedly, after watching and understanding the principle theory of living an exceptional life, the dark sky and cloud of negative thoughts hang over my head has already been flown away. There is a likely probability that somewhere along the line of our personal growth and development that we've been led to believe that in order to make anything of ourselves, we must make great achievements. Fortunately, that belief is false. Living an Exceptional Life by Jim Rohn explains in great detail that you can still become an exceptional individual just by doing simple, everyday things. Over time, our simple efforts will lead to enormous progress, creating a life that others will admire us for. We now play the world game, and it’s not just the competition. So now we are got to be ready to cash in on the opportunity, and we are also got to be ready for the competition. For both opportunity and competition are very important for us. Also, we have to learn more than one skill if we want economic safety for the future, especially this century, we need more than one skill and learn more than one language. Success is not something we pursue. It’s what we attract by becoming attractive; by becoming attractive to the market place, we need to have multiple skills and multiple languages. Moreover, organizing simply means getting people

    Outliers: The Story of Success is a book that examines the qualities and experiences of successful people in order to provide a blueprint for nurturing the human potential. According to the author, Malcolm Gladwell, human potential is not something one is born with but something that has to be shaped throughout one’s life course. Contrary to popular belief, having a high IQ or a lucky break are good opportunities to have, however, they do not contribute to an individual’s success alone. Gladwell realized that it took a combination of biological, personal, social, and environmental factors to help an individual reach their full potential. Examples of those factors that influence one’s success include timing of birth, area where one lives, family history, and culture. These factors make up concepts that Gladwell described as practical intelligence, social savvy, natural growth, and natural advantage. In addition to these factors, he discussed how anyone can succeed if they were willing to practice and work hard. He demonstrated this theory by researching the different stories of successful people and he found a common denominator, long hours of professional practice. He referred to this as the “10,000 Hour Rule. He mentioned that it took 10,000 hours or approximately 10 years of practice to perfect a professional trade. Outliers are successful people that are not your ordinary individual. However, the distinction of a true outlier can be attributed from the author’s recipe of success: the right combination of the different factors, practice, and hard work.…

    Many people believe that success has a direct correlation to one’s intelligence, ambition, and personality traits, but in fact, those are not what someone successful. As described by Malcolm Gladwell in the book Outliers, the successful become that way as a result of many factors that come their way. Gladwell shows that surrounds the successful are their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experience of their upbringing. Malcolm Gladwell’s theory of success is correct because success not only need to intelligence and hard-working, and also social environment and opportunity as same as important.…

    It is possible to be born into a successful family, but it is not possible to be born successful. The responsibility of being successful falls greatly upon me as an individual. While others can give an opinion, theory, or share their beliefs it is ultimately up to me to make my own decisions. At most I can adopt someone’s beliefs, I can imitate their actions, or even mimic their behaviors, but no one else is responsible for what happens in my life. It is up to me to put forth the hard work and dedication to reach the level of success that I desire. It is my personal responsibility to choose the path for my life and I choose success.…

Tadas Bartkus who is an engineer, researcher on jet engine icing for NASA and he has also discovered what it means to be successful, and that’s hard work.

    The classic American success story: a person is born to nothing, has an idea, and, by sheer power of their own will and determination, makes it big--or so it would seem. These are the stories, the stories of billionaires, professional athletes, lawyers, and scientists, that Malcolm Gladwell examines in his 2008 book, Outliers: Stories of Success. He delves deep into the stories of successful people, finding that they are rarely self-made. He counters the well-loved “rags to riches” stories that success is a product of great opportunities, cultural legacy, and a bit of luck.…
