En allant vers les autres, tu te découvres toi-même. Tu deviens vulnérable, sans protection. C’est
alors que le cœur se met à briller.
(Jean-Paul BOURRE)
Your time is the real fortune.
Save Hundreds Of Hours And Save Thousands Of Dollars
In Personal Advancement.
Your mind is your most precious asset. You must be continually working to
increase
the quality of your thinking. One of the best ways is to turn driving time into
learning
time. Listen to educational audio cassettes in your car. The average driver
according
to the American Automobile Association, drives 12,000 to 25,000 miles each
year,
spending 500 to 1000 hours that you spend each year in your car. That is the
equivalent of 12 1/2 to 25 forty-hour weeks. This is the same as two full
university
semesters spent behind the wheel of your car each year.
Use Traveling Time As Learning Time
If you did nothing but use that traveling time as learning time, this
decision alone
could make you one of the best educated people of your generation. Many people
have gone from rags to riches simply by listening to audio programs as they
drive to
and from work.
Attend Every Seminar
In addition, for personal and professional development, you should attend
every
seminar you can. You can often save yourself 100’s of hours of reading and
researching by attending a seminar given by an authority in his or her field.
You can
learn ideas, techniques and methods that can save you hours, days, even months
of
hard work and research on your own.
Increase Your Income
Remember, to earn more, you must learn more. Your outer world of results
will
always correspond to your inner world of preparation. I've always loved the
poem
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow where he describes those who achieve great things
with their lives:
"Those heights by great men reached and kept
were not obtained by sudden flight,
but they, while their companions slept
were toiling upward in the night"
Remember, continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any
field.
Now, here are two things you can do to put these ideas to work in your life
immediately.
First, purchase an audio program that can help you to be happier and more
effective
today. Begin listening to it immediately. Resolve never to listen to music in
your car
when you can turn driving time into learning time.
Second, seek out seminars and training programs given by experts in your field.
Sit
close to the front, take careful notes, and apply the best ideas that you learn
immediately.
