Building a Skyscraper Kind-of-Life
Want a Better Life?
|
As you build your life, realize the lessons you can learn from the builders of buildings.
If you're going to build a one story structure, about 4" of concrete is about all you need for a foundation. If you're going to build a one hundred story skyscraper, the first thing you're going to have to do is, dig in the opposite direction, about 10 stories below ground for the most durable, secure and long lasting foundation. Life is like that. Small life, you don't need much of an educational foundation. Big life, you'd better be prepared, in advance, for the opportunities that present themselves in your life. It's amazing how great opportunities are attracted to individuals who are properly prepared, in advance, to make the most of those unexpected opportunities. Sometimes, opportunities don't always find people who have prepared themselves for greatness. If that's your situation, create your own opportunities. There is a systematic sequence of events that seem to be the pattern of activity of all financially comfortable individuals. (1) LEARN what you have to learn, so you can (2) EARN what you have to earn, so you can (3) SAVE what you have to save., so you can (4) INVEST what you have to invest, so you can (5) RETIRE financially comfortable. Ideas That Make You Think's primary goals include teaching what the government run schools never got around to teaching you. In a nutshell, it's how to be the best possible you. There are seven things that make you WHO and WHAT you are. They are... (1) Your brain and how you think. (2) Your body, the life support system for your brain. (3) Your relationships with self; family; friends; community; work. (4) Your time/activity management skills. (5) Your money management skills. (6) Your personal productivity environment. (7) Your spirituality skills. One of the greatest pieces of advice I've ever had was, "Whatever you want to learn more about, "LEARN FROM THE GIANTS!" Find someone or somebodies who have already done what you want to do and learn from them. If possible, become a part of their world so you can learn first hand how they think, what they know, and what they do. In 7th grade science class, our teacher told us all, "Water seeks it's own level." In life, the same things apply. You are a composite of the five people in your life you are closest to. Your salary is an average of those same five people. My father-in-law was a very wise man. He said, "If there is anything or anybody in your life holding you back, get rid of them or it." Didn't mean to get wound up and ramble. Here's the short version. We study super successful people looking for the lessons buried in their stories, their biographies, articles, speeches, etc. and we write about "The Lessons." It's a never-ending journey of exploration into the subject of habitual success. If you'd care to join us, sign up for our email program. Where else can you go and have a 'personal board of directors' that includes people like: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Sam Walton and many more of America's greatest thinkers and doers? It only takes one good idea that you take action on to improve the quality of your life for the rest of your life. Maybe one of the ideas in one of these emails will provide you with the spark that sets you on fire to achieve something truly great in your life. It only takes one good idea. Sam Walton's 'one idea' made him a billionaire 100 times over. Do you know what his one idea was? The central focus of his life that guided his every action was only 16 words, "I want to sell people what they want and need cheaper than anyone else in town." A simple idea expressed in sixteen words. Before he started building WalMart and Sams, the experts said his idea wouldn't work. Here's your first free lesson: "If the experts don't understand your vision, don't listen to them. Do it anyway!" Thanks, Jim Vauhan, Editor IdeasThatMakeYouThink.com LearnFromTheGiants.com |
