My Village Square

Lately, I began to check my archive, reviewing some of my past works: books I have read and notes taking; poems, articles and short note notes etc. I came across one that interest me more and I wish to just share with everyone. It is on the quote from Jim Rohn, an author, international motivational speaker. Check out Jim’s Biography and his works on his Website . What I wish to share are the quotes from his many books and lectures I gathered years back, up-to-date quotes will be on his website. “Learning is the beginning of wealth.

Self-education will make you a fortune.” “We must learn to apply all that we know so that we can attract all that we want. “ “The book you don't read won't help. “ “If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. ...

I intended to do another article on his contribution to IT development and excellent managerial skills and doggedness that turn the fortune of Apple around.

Less than five minutes drive, along the State Road by the traffic control light, I noticed quite some number of Okada parked by the road side and people crowded round in a circle.

That became the subject of the fifteen minutes journey for me and the Okada man that took me to office. The young man admitted that most of the rider a...
